Most Pro riders find that 400-425cc's seems to work well. I would not wait until the fluid changes color as by that time you have lost all the advantages to keeping clean oil in the tranny. I also know of few, if any, riders (actually none) who are so adept at discerning transmission fluid color changes I would trust their ability to make maintenance decisions for any of my engines. I usually go 10-15 hours of fairly hard use on my Pro between fluid changes or sooner if the conditions are wet. My engine has 11 years of use and I've not had clutch, crank or transmission problems and I would suspect keeping clean oil in the engine has helped. I guess what I'm saying is that I just don't see the logic of using a condition of something to be avoided (junk in your oil) as an indicator for action to avoid that condition.
