The factory Honda service manual says to use 10W40 engine oil.

Why is that? Do you know something the engineers at Honda don't?

i use Bel-Ray gear saver in my R and it is the best i have ever used. Shifts really smooth and never had a problem. I'm pretty hard on the clutch too and not a single problem yet. :cool:

I use Amsoil 10w40.
I'm a fan of synthetic oils, but they must be MOTORCYCLE oils, approved for use with wet clutches.
Many synthetic automotive motor oils have friction modifiers. That's all well and fine for a car, because the oil isn't in contact with the clutch. Friction modifiers can cause your clutch to slip, and if it slips too much it will overheat and burn.
