Hey there! I’ve heard about synthetic oil being good for my p500 , I usually use GN4 from Honda. Anybody got any other suggestions that would help the clanging when it shifts?

Rotella T6. Supertech powersports. Mobil bike. Any synthetic will help shifts.

I switched to the Honda HP4S at the first oil change. The engine runs smoother/quieter and the shifts have smoothed out some.

This!
The adjustment was biggest difference. I changed the oil and it was still shifting hard. I made the clutch adjustment and it's smooth as silk!! I'm pretty certain any fresh oil would be fine but I used a synthetic. I did the front and rear diffs as well.
