    Oil Change-3rd/4th gear slip gone

    I changed my oil to Valvoline 15W40 and the bike runs smoother, gear shifting is smother and all 3rd and 4th gear slippage went away. I do still have the the 2nd gear slippage so my bet is the togs are worn and I need to do the dremil fix in the future. That sucks cuz second gear acceleraion is half the joy of riding my bike.

    DO NOT let that repair go too long without doing it. I kept telling myselft that (6 months) and eventually I ruined the engine. I ended up getting a used engine on ebay for a decent price though.
