For my R, I run Blue Marble pre-mix 50:1 (Got a gallon of AMSOIL that I'm gonna switch to when the BM is gone), Vavloline 10/40 in the crankcase, and Prestone 50/50 antifreeze. Got any pics of your pumpeR you could post?

93 octane fuel, engine ice coolant, honda tranny fluid, and I use Mobile 1 20w-50 gold cap fully synthetic oil.

93 octane, Klotz R50 premix or Amsoil Dominator, Honda HP Tranny Lube, and Liquid Performance, Engine Ice or Honda Coolant for the Radiator. Don't use car anti-freeze because it can cause seals to go bad on your water pump which isn't fun when you want to go ride.

For coolant try out "Evans NPG-R or NPG+". Its a waterless coolant. If you do the research you'll see there is nothing better. You have to make sure to flush it at least once with the Evans because you don't want to have any water in your system (less then 3%). The boiling point is around 370 - 400 F. Also there is no pressure build up like typical antifreeze/water mix. If you want maximum performance I think this would be a good route to take. If you're just riding for recreation though then any old antifreeze / water mix will do.

make sure you run motorcylce oil because the 'anti-wear' additives in automotive oil WILL eventually cause your clutch to slip.
