My thought was maybe he was lying, because his papers he handed me said, Rotella T. Or I thought maybe he wasn't paying attention and wasn't making a distinction between the T and the T6. But I have seen on the ST site, that they do use synthetic oils in ST's. I wasn't sure what additives were in the T6. Although from all the reading I did on their site, there are a bunch of false claims, and the only real benefit of T6 is ease of starting in the winter. But opnions certainly vary.

I thought the slippage would go away when I switched to a better oil choice, but it's not really much better. Think I ruined my clutch?

When I picked up the bike the seller handed me a jug of Rotella T6 and my heart sunk. The reference book says SG or higher, Pro Honda GN4 w/o molybdenum. Does the ST1300 have the same wet clutch as a NH? Does anyone know if I will run into problems with a synthetic oil in a Honda ST1300. Should I change it ASAP? He said he was second owner, and that is what the 1st owner ran in it. Ron -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Nighthawk Motorcycle Lovers!" group.
