skippy Posted May 10, 2016 Report Share Posted May 10, 2016 Tman 427 10W/30 Thumper is a synthetic blend, designed for 4 strokes with separate crankcase and gearbox, they put in better addatives as these will not affect the clutch. love the bike puts a smile on ya face Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did the first engine and gear oil change at 8 hours. Couldn't find Elf anywhere so I bought Belray 75W Gear Saver. It turned the clutch into a light switch. What used to be super smooth and with a nice easy transition between engaged and disengaged became very abrupt and hard to control. Then, thanks to the forum, I asked my local Honda dealer if they could order Honda part no. 08C35-HTX-740. He had no idea what it was but he tried and a week later he got it, it's in the bike and the clutch is back to the way it was. The downside? It's insanely expensive. Almost $60 per liter. I bought 2 bottles. Oh well. I plan to change at 30 hours intervals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
