The clutch does seem to slip a lot more on it. Just before the rebuild I put a new k & n oil filter in it do you think I need to change it again? I was thinking I probable should put Honda oil in it. But for the first oil change I figured Pennzoil would be alright. Thanks for the help

Just drain the old oil from the crank case,small paper oil filter should be okay. Use oil designated for motorcycles or atvs whether it's Honda oil or any major brand 4T(4 stroke) rated oil.The oil must NOT have an "energy conserving" api label or it has friction modifiers that cause clutch slip. Most cycle/atv oils will have a Jaso rating also. This is from the label on Rotella T6 5w40 that a lot of people use in cycles and atvs along with other brands such as Mobil,Amsoil, manufacturer branded oil,etc.
