motor oils

[Jim Jackson]

Well, I want to go on record as saying I wouldn't mind a bit of a re-visit to the oil discussion. It's high time. Lots of new folks who didn't get it last time. And the weather is getting colder. By the way, where is Skip these days? Haven't seen any of his posts for a while and he had about the most to say on the subject. (...here it comes...) I use 20w50 Honda 4-stroke and have had no problems. It bumps hard into first gear when I start it up I guess because the oil doesn't get some of the clutch assembly movin'. I remember someone saying straight 30w got rid of that... Is there a place on egroups to put in what everyone uses in their KLR? Just sort of an FYI? Jim Jackson II A13 "Gonzo" South Carolina
