What Oil should be using

(1/2) > >>

weldingrod:
I am a proud owner of a 93 KX 500 and been using the recommended manufacture 10-30 Kawasaki brand oil. 2 stroke oil I have been using Super M. I recently was told I should be using AMS OIL 20W-50 I rode today with it for the first time and it seemed as if my clutch was almost out all the way and then it would take off. I stalled it 3 times today because the clutching was so different any recommendations as always are greatly appreciated.

fluffy:
why change.

Platypus:
This is a weird subject.  I have heard "only use synthetic" and "don't use synthetic it builds up on the parts".  I would go back to what you were using and see what happens.  I personally run plain 10-40 and don't have any problems.  Some guys run ATF and swear by it.  There are plenty of threads here on it but again it's all subjective and personal opinion if you ask me.
