I run what ever Texaco carries. Texaco brand 10w40.

I run Amsoil. Stays cleaner much longer. Dont have to change it often. Good Stuff. Real good stuff. Has big time extended drain intervals in cars and trucks. Dads a dealer. I get it cheap. Their carb/injector cleaner does wonders on trike carbs. Just put 2 ounces in a tank and within 30 minutes a rough idle will dissapear. Works like a charm.

Honda GN4 10/40 in both Hondas. Sometimes Spectro 10/40 non-synthetic if Honda's is not around. Motul synthetic blend for injector in the RD400. All runs killer no-slippin!

Honda GN4 10/40 in my 4 strokes but I like Honda HP2 Synthethic in my 2-strokes. I even run it in my Banshee.

Ive never actually seen a study or data to backup that theory that Ive heard so much. After 30 years of riding Im still waiting for those clutch problems to occur. I run Dollar General oil in my two stroke cranks. The top end is a different matter, and in my 4 strokes, they get Mobile 1 synthetic.

You're thinking about Synthetic motor oil. I've heard some people say that its good for the clutches and some who say they have had nothing but trouble. :rolleyes:

I agree,,I never had problems either and used to run automotive oil,,but that was before synthetic..The bike shop gives me good deal on oil so I just run motorcycle oil...

From what I've read, as long as it's not "energy conserving" (usually denoted on the bottle by a starburst) you should be fine.
