Nickle....that is a topic that starts very long discussions... My advice...find an oil you are comfortable with that meets the specs of your bike and above all make sure it is good for the clutch. . . .ask folks to pm you with their suggestions and read any of the many oil threads on here. . .the fact you care enough to ask about quality oil is a point in your favor! I would add that most of these riders on here have your best riding experience at heart so even though we all don't agree on a single oil we do all agree on the need for quality regular maintenance.

Everyone is always happy to chime in their .02 on any subject around here. you probably figured out that hertz (the guy with the big wet nose and fuzzy floppy ears) and I are the only kooks around here, and with an ocassional zinger from the back lot.

Thanks for playing. Just use the JASO-MA STANDARD for wet clutch operation. Beyond that all oil is manufactured to very high standards probably way above the minimum requirements of this 1970's type architecture as far as hawk like hondoids are concerned. Many use Rotella T6 synthetic . The key is with any oil to keep it clean and changed.

Also, here is an unrelated article talking about a Chinese produced, non cam , soon to be in production, automotive engine. Holy grail stuff the way they make it sound. http://www.popularmechanics.com/cars...tion-in-china/

It is true that most people prefer Twinkies over Zingers but I love Zingers.
