.99 cent walmart oil does fine. Just change oil every season.
Worthless, would be a vast improvement.

I notice you are a fellow Floridian. I run Kawachem 10w-40 with excellent results. Way cheaper that the Honda stuff, and good for wet clutches. I change it about 5 times a year. Synthetic is very expensive, and I highly doubt you would notice a much cooler engine with a synthetic oil. I would especially stay away from 0w-40 down here with our HOT temperatures. Do you do a lot of slow trail riding where there is not much air moving over the motor?

that's new to me, a 200S doing 65. Try clocking it with a GPS, that's the only true way to do it, I bet with a GPS it's nowhere near 65mph.

I built it out of junk parts it only cost me bout $300 to build Im 16 with no job so I got to do side work to make money...and I will find a gps or ride with someone with one and let * know but regarless 65 is not very fast... for a 200s yea but its regeared and has a little work done to it...it can go faster with different sprockets and a little more work Im hopping to get a 200x bottom end soon then Im gonna really build it up...when Im done I gonna have a 200x that can run with 350x's and yeah it can and wil happen...and y will I but all this time and money into it so when guys who think ** big edited*t roll up on ** trikes I can put * in line... I dont know bout * guys but in Miami theres a lot of rich little boys that daddys buy them 450R's, YFZ450's, 660 Raptors as there FIRST BIKES and then cant drive them at all...thinkin that there big sh*t they can handle it...and there all assholes and then they get in wrecks or die riding them on the streets and on US1 and Eureka (4 lane busy roads) and they close places to ride cause of them...I got way off topic but yea I started with a 200s and then Im gonna end up with a extremely high performance 200x and only spend bout $600...

From the little I understand from reading your post, you say your going to be able to run your 200s with a 350X. Good luck with that!

sounds good there, sport, good luck to ya. let us know when you get that GPS reading, and, yes, 65mph IS that fast, sure it wasn't km/h? Actually, now that I think about it I did 70mph on my 200S one time, o crap, i forgot, it was in the back of my truck doing 70mph, my bad. Maybe yours has that limited edition 350X tranny on it, those are rare.

wat ever I know wat did does and it hits 65 Miles Per Hour its not unreallistic and maybe ** 200s is stock and poorly maintained and thats why you dont think it can make it to 65 with a little work...ask anyone that knows something cause apparently you dont and the smart ass attitude is not needed and this has been debated already as far as a 200x's being built up to run with 350x's...thats wat its all about when someone like * on there 350 trys to smoke me and * look next to * and Im still there its all worth the look on ** face plus its a fun toy that is severly underestimated...
