Aloha, Dbbc. Yes, I experience the same thing. My car shifts smoothly when driving but after I drive it awhile I noticed that it doesn't shift as smoothly and occasionally I'll snick a gear going to third. Slowing down the shifting (one thousand one, one thousand two) seems to help.

Also as others said a slow idle helps. I make sure my hand throttle is all the way up after the engine warms up. Sometimes I even move the advance to a more retarded position to slow down the idle while in town and advance it while on a more open road (if I remember ).

I use 600w oil and live in SoCal.
