Thanks

WELCOME TO THE FORUMS!!!

Depends on your climate. You can pretty much run just about any kind of oil in it but my manual says that 10w 40 is all around a good oil to run for hot or cold conditions.

DO NOT USE "ANY" OIL!!!!!!!!!!!! Only use Motorcycle 10w-40 or cheap motor oil that does not have the energy cicle on it.
Otherwise you will smoke the clutch plates after a bit.

what about a full synthetic oil will it still eat the clutches?

The stuff that is meant for wet clutches works well. The regular car synthetic will eat a cluth. Been there done that myself

Look for the "donut" on the bottle. The oil's viscosity is listed in the center of the donut. The API grade is listed on the upper half. The new fuel saving oils have "Energy Conserving" posted on the lower half of the donut.

I Should have said that instead of "Energy Circle"

AND I didn't mean don't use car oil. I meant don't just go throw "Any" car oil in it! [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-happy.gif[/img]
