I recently changed the oil in my 08 MotorTrike with Rotella blue jug hoping to get smoother shifting - got that only when the oil is cold, when hot it's back to the "clunky" shifting. Is that typical, or would Amsoil or Mobil 1 do a better job. Is there something about the way I am shifting it that causes the clunking?
A few days ago I went for a ride after warming up the wing as I always do, and when I pulled out on to the street, I felt a bit of hesitation when accelerating in 2nd gear. That didn't happen again until the next day, same circumstances. So, I changed out the spark plugs with new NKG's and the problem went away. I don't know how to "read" plugs, but the trike had 10K on it when I bought it and I changed them at 15K. I have read that some put many more miles on their plugs before changing them. Is 15K the limit for NKG plugs?
