I used 10w 40 and its nice outside. About 68 right now. so i dont think thick oil is the problem. I just changed it to eliminate that problem of wrong type oil. I used castrol in it cause the honda shop not open.

 

If the Castrol is not specifically for motorcycles, you are using the wrong oil, regardless of weight.

 

Sorry for the delay on answer......

Glad I could help -------- The answer to your last question that I have noticed after taking quite a few of these 'frozen' clutch packs apart is, in my opinion, caused by an oil in lack of proper clensing detergent additives and or cooling charicteristics. In all the clutches there is always a fiber disc stuck to a metal disc. the fiber discs 'grab' by the outside edges to the clutch basket and the metal discs 'grab' the center drum. They will cook themselves together and stick. Yes I have seen this in engines running Honda brand oils also.
My conslusion has to be drawn on heat in the clutch pack, and in my opinion here is the cure. After running the unit hard. or after a longer run, don't just turn the unit off right away, let it idle for a few minutes to let the oil temp stabilize and circulate completely to avoid this mishap. It should. by right. give the oul time to clean the discs within the clutchpack, and cool the pack more evenly and thuroughly. Kind of like hot water in an ice cube tray. put into the freezer at the same time as the same type of tray with cold water. The cold water will freeze slower, the hot sooner. Related to the hot vs. cooler clutch not 'freezing'.
