#Synthetic oil-20W50 motor cycle wet clutch specific oil in summer (transmission will last a LOT longer as will the clutch with the 20W50 in hot weather, 10W40 in the fall/winter, 3000 mile changes using the Supertech st6607 Walmart filter, that through independent studies was equal and superior to OEM honda filter. | #Synthetic oil-20W50 motor cycle wet clutch specific oil in summer (transmission will last a LOT longer as will the clutch with the 20W50 in hot weather, 10W40 in the fall/winter, 3000 mile changes using the Supertech st6607 Walmart filter, that through independent studies was equal and superior to OEM honda filter. | ||

#Valve lash adjustment, this is according to the owners manual, supposed to be done every 8000 miles, but a LOT of owners get about 12-15,000 between them (they cost about $175 at Honda) I did a write up a while back on a step by step, DIY valve lash adjustment, but, unless you are a decent mechanic it would be in your bikes best interest to just pay the fee. | #Valve lash adjustment, this is according to the owners manual, supposed to be done every 8000 miles, but a LOT of owners get about 12-15,000 between them (they cost about $175 at Honda) I did a write up a while back on a step by step, DIY valve lash adjustment, but, unless you are a decent mechanic it would be in your bikes best interest to just pay the fee. | ||
#Tires, Now this, like oil, is a HOT issue, where every one has their own idea on which tires are the best. I use Bridgestone Spitfires, which are a 16-18K mile tire, cost 1/3 less than the Dunlop d404 that come stock and only last 8K at BEST! (I also use Bridgestone Potenzas on my Chrysler rag top) and the Trucking CO that I spent the last 15 years driving for also use Bridgestones on the 18 wheelers! | #Tires, Now this, like oil, is a HOT issue, where every one has their own idea on which tires are the best.
