Yikes!!! Synthetic Amsoil???  I would definately look into a new clutch kit if you did.  EBC or Barnett, carbon fiber or kevlar with steel plates..... about $80-$120 and you might need the case gasket too.  Big difference in clutch over stock, especially if those friction discs are saturated with 3 or 4 types of oil.....

This type of Honda oil??  Only oil that goes in all my two-strokes.

That is the oil I put in my bike Sly.  I am new to the 2- stoke world, and I have been told by lots of people that the pro honda is one of the best.  Many people think it is the best.  I rode it around last night with the new oil and it shifts much smoother.  I will keep an eye on my clutch.  Thanks for the input everybody.

KXcam22:
Also keep an eye out that you are not getting coolant leakage.  Dark grey is aluminum clutch residue but it generally does not stay mixed completely in the old oil and shows up as threads of grey/silver particles as the oil drains.  Full milky geyish white is usually coolant contamination.  My rule of thumb is that if you can plainly see it in the oil level window then it is coolant. Hope this helps. Cam.
