what oil

[795]

what oil are you guys running in your ltrs i was going to run full synthetic oil but i have heard that it causes the clutch to slip so what do you guys think

[blholtz]

Run a synthetic that DOES NOT have friction modifiers in it. those modifiers are what will cause the clutch to slip.

Any of the synthetics you get at your dealer should be that way as most dirt bikes and quads run "wet clutches." Which means the clutch runs in oil to keep it cool.

I prefer Amsoil, and have good luck with it.

He was wanting synthetic. I believe Honda oil is regular oil.
