I believe I switched too early in the season to the Honda winter weight synthetic and ran it too hard in warm weather. Too thin maybe. Another post suggests not using a non-dealership oil in a 'wet clutch' system. This may have been my problem. Since repairs have simply run their standard oil year round, but it doesn't like cold weather starts. Synthetic is great for cold weather and very likely for overall engine performance. Just be careful your machine can use it.
Amsoil warranties your engine against damage when using their oil. Did you try to claim against it?
