Default Brand oil & weights for DS-650?

Guys,
not wanting to start an oil war or have folks argue over synthetic being better than dino oil or any of that nonsense. I just want to get an idea of what you are running in your DS-650, here in Southern Calif?

I've been using the Bombardier stuff (synthetic) since the bike was broken in, but at 10 bux a quart I'm thinking something else may be ok.

Thanks.

I like 10w40 Amsoil Motorcycle Oil. It typically runs about $7.50 a quart locally. I run it in my ZX11 Ninja as well.

Another vote here for Rotella. One of the few oils available at walmart that is rated for wet clutches.

I have been using Klotz 10w40 since I went to the big bore. Only about 8 buck per if you buy it from Rocky Mountain.
