ben-ppka Posted April 26, 2010 Share Posted April 26, 2010 I have heard about the overheating issues with TX500's that cause heads to crack and what not and was wondering what the best oil would be to run before I start taking it on the road.

ben-ppka Posted April 29, 2010 Author Share Posted April 29, 2010 i think it was a case of renewing the oil at very regular intervals. don't know the exact spec for the 500 thanks for that much. got in touch with a friend who specializes in honda restorations from 68-78. he suggested a two different types as well as changing the oil regularly to keep the cracking from happening.
