today i cleaned my carb because i had a issue with it yesterday.after cleaned it started great and runs good now. but when i took it for a ride.i put it in gear and heard a i guess ud say a clickking noise like a gearwas not grabbing but a little gas good to go. so i looked in the oil which i had change 3 day b4 this and it was like a qt over full. and i only put 5.2qts in it. did i put to much ?so i looked and smelled it kida thin.so i changed it but the only thing they had was regular moter oil so i put it in.will this hurt it.i change the oil about every 150 miles i know thats very often.but i use the old in my car that leaks oil...lol..oh after i changed it the noise went away.should i off it or u think its ok just some how gas got init?thanks for ur help.

 

others on here say the hondamatic can make a ratcheting sound, thats not good at all- my rubicon has been flawless and the only clicking i have ever herd is my sub-transmission if i rev it up in netural and put it into drive before its back down to idle.

 

It should hold 5.2 quarts if you removed both drain plugs and changed the filter.

 

The Rubicon is a dry sump design. To get an accurate oil reading you have to let the quad idle for around 4 or 5 minutes, and sit for two minutes.

If after cleaning the carb you ended up with a higher idle speed that needs to be adjusted.

Lastly, I would for sure run oil rated API SG or better and JASO MA, for motorcycles with a wet clutch design.
