You might replace the discs with an EBC brand clutch kit. Other than full replacement, I don't think you'll be able to solve the sticking problem. Let us know if you find something else that works.
I did do all that he recommended and on another thread i had going we narrowed it down to sticky clutches from sitting so long. Could anyone tell me at least what the best weight oil to use? the manual says 10w-30. So it would probably be better to run synthetic that normal Honda oil right? i know it wont fix my problem just looking for opinionsIs it possible what you think is a symptom of a sticky clutch is actually an ES system that needs some TLC? @retro had a great thread on ES system maintenance with pics and all the proper greases, can't find that exact thread at the moment though. Even if that doesn't fix your shift delay, would be good to do anyway.

I didn't have any pictures and i couldn't seem to find the link to the previous thread.Ok, thanks for confirming.I did do all that he recommended and on another thread i had going we narrowed it down to sticky clutches from sitting so long.

If I was thinking sticking was the problem, I'd try a thinner synthetic like this one to see if it helps: https://www.amsoil.com/shop/by-product/motor-oil/atv-and-utv/formula-4-stroke-powersports-0w-40/
Do you have a link to your prior thread. Any pics of the clutch components if you ended up disassembling any of it.
I've never seen a Honda utility ATV shift clutch basket get notched out like happens after a season on an MX bike, but the components are similar enough that I suppose it could happen. Notches on the basket teeth become very noticeable in the actuation.
Edit: I should have read your above post better, is sticky from sitting so long was the conclusion before. Clutch discs aren't that expensive or hard to replace, and I highly doubt any oil would really change it if that's the problem.
Personally, I would stop by a local Honda dealer and get GN4.Could anyone tell me at least what the best weight oil to use? the manual says 10w-30. So it would probably be better to run synthetic that normal Honda oil right? i know it wont fix my problem just looking for opinions
