So I wouldn't have believed it but the clutch on my TT250 works best with 15-40 diesel non synthetic oil. The stock oil worked OK but then after 200 miles I made the switch to synthetic 10-40 Kawasaki oil and the clutch became grabby, then I dumped that stuff out and switched to Suzuki 10-40 non synthetic with not much improvement. I reluctantly dumped the Suzuki oil ($12 quart) and put in cheapo 15-40 diesel oil and got a progressive clutch back! Just like everyone said. I paid $12 for a gallon of the stuff at the local auto parts store.

That's amazing, isn't it? (I can hear Spud and W&G chuckling from here). I'm switching everything I have in my rolling stock back to the 15W-40. The RX3 calls for 20W-50 so I'll see what's out there.

I'm glad I read this. I changed the oil recently and now I suddenly can't get into Neutral. Sounds like I need some cheap dino oil.
