K Shackleton:
Sorry but your wrong about my bikes oil recommendations!
Page 39 of the Honda 2005 CR250F and page 13 of the 2001CR500 manuals recommend the following in decending order:
Pro Honda HP Trans Oil (my choice)
Pro Honda GN4
Pro Honda HP4
4 Stroke engine oil
SAE 20/50, 20/40,10/40, 10/30 based on OAT
non molybdenum additives
I guess your 2001 KX250 manual doesn't cover Honda recommendations.
As far as Exception to accelerated wear goes, I'm sorry. I simply stated that ATF in my 1979 YZ125F turned dark at a faster rate, that is a indication of wear from lack of film strengh. By the way, the bike had steel drive plates not aluminum in case you might be thinking that colored the oil black. Rub ATF and oikl between your fingers. The ATF will have a grab to it and yes it probably does give better action to your clutch. Does that mean it's better? I give up and I personaly don't care.
Have fun on your bike, good luck and be happy.
