make sure that what ever oil that you use does not have slip modifiers in it.

soak it in plain honda oil and use that till your next oil change then if you were running a synthetic go back to it i run 20/50 syn in my rappy and had to go back to yammalube to break in the new piston and rings

I always just used the dirty oil that I drain out of the quad, I remember hearing before that the used oil was better anyways!? Just use generic cheap old oil if you dont want to use dirty oil. Go buy some supertech from walmart or something.

the supertech is fine as long as its the blend that doesnt have the slip modifiers in it.

yyea used oil is best because its a bit thinner and absorbs into the clutch pads better. Probably notice at all as far as clutch life goes whether you use new or old but thats what I have heard, up to you used oil is cheaper lol.
