What Oil Should I Use for Best Clutch/Transmission Performance?

I sort of look at it from the other perspective. Rotella is good, especially in bull dozers, tractors and Kawasaki DR650 applications, but I like to have motorcycle blend in my bikes.

The CG250 only uses one quart of oil. You can go to Autozone and buy a quart of Lucas motorcycle blend specially suited to wet clutch applications for $10. I can afford $10 every 1000 miles.

It is 20/50 and we will need that 50 rating during the summer with these air cooled engines. The 50 rating cools better.

As for the finding neutral difficulty, I can not see the need for concern. The only time I use neutral is when I am putting on my helmet. Any other time I pull the clutch lever and if I put on my helmet before I start the bike I can live without that green light shining for a long time.
