Break in period for Oil Change
You can get Amsoil from a number of dealers online. I think the ATV 0w40 and 10w40 range from $6-8 a quart depending on the dealer, so shop around.
Walmart has their own 100% synthetic in 5 & 10W30, I think the brand is Supertech. I looked into the manufacturer a while back...I think it is Havoline if I remember correctly. Has ratings similar to the regular Mobil 1. It doesn't have the Jaso MA rating, but I know a bunch of guys that have used it in Kawie V-twins with no problems. For $12 a 5qt jug, you can afford to change it a little more often if you want.
As far as filters, there are many choices. I use the Wix 51356 (same as Napa Gold 1356). Not sure if the BF 650 has the same amount of room as the 750, but this is a bigger filter. Also, a lot of guys on Kawieriders swear by the Purolator Pure One PL14610. I think both are about half the $$ of the Kawie filter and very good quality. You can find hours of reading on filters, but either of these will be great if you change your oil regularly.
I hope this helps.

Rotella is made by shell and is a commercial diesel oil...because of this it has different additives then regular "car" oil sold by walmart and auto joints. 10-40 is not available in rotella synthetic only 5-40 as far as I know. There's quite a bit of information on this oil do a google search.
If you do want a pure synthetic go with amsoil or redline.

I switched back and forth betwen dino and synth oil (depending on my pocket condition), and noticed no obvious oil related problems on my vehicles (cars, bikes, quads, etc.). I am curious to know what scientific theory is behind for experiencing such problem. ???
