Two years and 5000 miles later, it's still running like perfectly at just over 33000 miles. But, of course, it's a Honda.

Yes its a honda they run on dirt, not so with the high class whore I got.

BS

high rpm don't hurt oil one bit, most severe service on oil is short trips that don't allow oil to completely vaporize contaminates and lugging the engine

But true.

Very true, My wife had a 250 rebel and you cant kill the things. I ment no disrespect to honda riders, they are VERY relieable

So, here is my next question, What weight do you all use? 5w-40? I was going to go with Motorex POWER SYNT 4T

10w-40 4t. Why would you use a lighter oil for hot temps and high RPM?

those should both be the same when at engine operating temp

So glad I did a change at 2,500 miles and 2 trackdays.... Huge difference in shifting. Would rather spend the $ more more frequent changes (I will probably do one even sooner after the next track days) for major increase in performance :shredder:

get a motard, then you can change it every time you flog it, so you'll never forget.
