What is HDEO?
No, my clutch only slipped with modern 2 stroke gear oils - bel ray gear saver and Honda synth gear oil.
It did not slip with the wally world 20w-50 car oil. It just shifted hard. I'll have to see with the lighter 10w-40 car oil (I just put it in.) It could be the clutch though/cable adjustment. I had to screw that sucker all the way in - when centering the release balls in the clutch plate when adjusting the cable. It did not feel right.
I figure the easiest thing to do with hard shifting is to get rid of that heavy 20w-50 oil. But is it OK to put car oil in there?
I am saving for a new bike, and I trust the wally world oil as much as any other car oil. Is car oil good enough though?
