I have run the Honda HP trans/Belray Thumper in both of my 450r's, never had a problem.
My dealer was out of the Hp trans. when I changed my oil last. I picked up some Maxima Trans oil. Except from the color, I can't tell a difference.
You just have to change it often, clean oil is like cheap, well semi cheap insurance.

Rotella has treated everything i own very well. I am an excessive over-oil changer on my bikes, a day of riding is an oil change. Ran Amsoil, Rotella, Honda Line, and always keep coming back to Rotella...

I`m sure there are better oils out there, but It works well and I have never had an oil related failure.

I raced MX for years on regular Valvoline 10-40, without a single issue related to oil not holding up.

To each is their own on this topic

To each is their own on this topic I agree, the best oil is clean oil!!!

in my opinion the best oil to run is a oil that you can afford to change after every ride!! if you can afford to change out Honda oil after 3 hours riding then run that, I personally cant so I use rotella, I would rather use the extra money saved on oil to put into the gas tank!!

I run the rottela t on the crank side and Mobil 1 15 50 fully synthetic on the top end. I ran the Mobil one in all my quads. And it keeps the engin realy clean.
