It will make your clutch slip. this is not true moble one is not going to make your clucth slip it is a great oil i have used it in many high performance bike motors that i have built over the years from 7 sec drag bikes to high 3 sec 300 foot drag banshees and never had a clucth problem Title: Re: oil for my 400ex Post by: TRX450R_Racer on December 21, 2005, 04:21:18 PM That oil is not recommended for a wet clutch application. Call the oil manufacturer they will confirm my information. I never said is wasn't good oil. I use it in the engine side of my 450R. I use Golden Spectro in the transmission side. Since my 450R has seperate oil for thr engine and the trans I can use it.
