shell rotella t oil. It's diesel oil and its alot tougher than regular oil. And its alot cheaper than your gn4 and spectro oils. Its about 15 bucks for a Gal.

Honda oil all the way.

I use the synthetic blend. 10w-40 most the year, 20w-50 in the summer/dune season.

I have been running Redline for a year now. The bike sounds better, shifts better and overall looks better than other oils with the same runnign hours

It's pretty hard to find. I get it from my local engine shop. Even he has a hard time getting ample supplies at times.

Mobil 1 15w-50 has worked fine for me.

Don't know if you have the same problem with the mobile 1 I do, it seems to make the clutch squell worse than other oils.. Can't find royal purple 4t around here, so thought maybe the Redline was easier to come by..
