whereas the main reason to use a mc specific oil is to protect a wet clutch & whereas our beloved dinos have no such device does anybody run a regular car oil or see any reason not to.
Yes they are wet(the clutches). We do have pumps as well as swash plates, but you still have to be able to disengage the trans from the engine. the clutch on the left side is for starting, and the one on the right side is for drive/neutralsorry, fresh out of(don't have) a service manual. everything i had read said it was all hydraulic w/ pumps and swash plates. so what don't we have-gears? ..'cause gears are good. okay, so are the clutches wet clutches like a regular motorcycle(service manuals are good too!!)
You need to get ahold of a service manual for the description of how the DN-01 trans works. Its to complicated for me to describe on here. No offence but your not even close. Centrifical force has nothing to do with our trans.

Car oil can't stand up to the high revs of a motorcycle engine and will break down faster than MC spec oilwhereas the main reason to use a mc specific oil is to protect a wet clutch & whereas our beloved dinos have no such device does anybody run a regular car oil or see any reason not to.
it has nothing to do with high revs, it has to do with most motorcycles have the same oil for the engine and gearbox in one so the shear factor of the gears breaks the oil down a lot faster than just running through a motor.Car oil can't stand up to the high revs of a motorcycle engine and will break down faster than MC spec oil
