I know this has been done to death, but as everyone opinions change, I wanted to bring it up again. Can we get a call out for the brand and weight of the oil you are finding the best? Thanks all.

Was running Castrol GTX 10W-40 during break in.

Now running Honda HP4 10W-40 no moly.

I was hoping the notchy shifting with my Barnett clutch would have gone away after switching, but have not noticed any difference.

Just trying out the Redline to see if the clutch holds better. After putting in a new one and 80% springs I wanted to see if would last longer. Big improvement over the RW and HP4. She hooks up hard. Probabley just from the stiffer springs but I will run it for awhile on the redline and see what she does. Im over 90hp now on the button Im just tryin to get some better life out of the clutch.
