Quotes from other riders which hit the nail on the head 8-)

"The Honda Cub is fun to ride because it’s underpowered, has qwerky suspension and cluch and poor brakes, you just can’t beat that feeling when you reach 53mph, you feel like you’ve broken the land speed record! You have to do about 150 on a superbike to get that same feeling."

"You meet the nicest people on a C90."

"The Honda Cub is truly greater than the sum of it’s parts."

I haven't ever had a C90 and so I didn't know it was going to be so much fun, I can't leave it alone! I'm busy with work all this week so it's having a rest but next week I'll be bang on it again, I can't wait. I think my gold C90 rides better and is more fun than my old bike that I just sold last weekend which was a BMW F800S, so there is more reason to be out on it lol :)

If the clutch isn't slipping it's done no harm. .. but Mobil 1 is a bloomin' expensive way to lubricate a Cub! ;)
Cheap mineral oil will do fine.. changed every 1000 miles or thereabouts.
