*Hey Calvin,* * * *This is common question that has come up several times here on NL. The best answer we can give is for you to spend a little time doing some research online. There are MANY opinions on this question and some people are quite passionate about their choices.* * * *The one thing you want to steer clear of is motor oil that has additives such as "friction modifiers" since these can cause clutch slippage.* * * *Some members here on NL stick with Honda brand motorcycle oil (especially made for motorcycles) others use all other brands and viscosities, including 100% synthetic oils. * * * *So, do some research and see what you think is best. To give you a starting point here's a link to an article that is linked on my website. * http://www.nightrider.com/biketech/oiltest1.htm * * *Ride safe!* * * *Paul* * * ** * * On Mon, Aug 30, 2010 at 7:47 PM, <[email protected]> wrote:
