Motul Crosspower 10/50 fully synthetic oil

Post by racingt » Mon Apr 14, 2014 2:14 pm

Guys, sold my KTM and have oil left from it.
It's mega expensive, and I was wondering if I could use it in the NC35?
I guess it meets and surpasses all of the20 year old Honda oil specs.
Main question is, will it cause the clutch to slip?
Is there any other reason not to use it?
Thanks!

Ok, so no one knows for sure.
I guess the nc35 is constructed the same way and using similar materials as modern bikes designed to run fully synthetic, so I'm going to give it a go...

Been using full synthetic in RC [23 Years] and NC [10 Years] without a trace of clutch slip. [Castrol, Motul, 10/40, 5/40, and 0/60]
