Oil question

[03KawiKFX400]

I bought my KFX not too long ago and its time to change the engine oil. What brand should i use and how many quart do i need to buy? I believe im supposed to be using 10w40. Also should i go synthedic?

Thanks for the replies in advance

With a filter change it takes 2200ml. You'll get a lot of responses on regular or synthetic. Just get a high grade Motorcycle oil. Make sure it's made for a wet clutch. Motorcycle oil doesn't have the friction modifiers in it like regular car engine oil.

With Suzuki 10w - 40, 4 stroke oil you can't go wrong...

Mine took a little under 2.5 quarts with new filter, but it is possible my quad has had a big bore kit done to it also.

LOL...thats why I need a service manual. I got a great deal on the quad but it didnt come with a manual. Also what oil are you using? Thanks for the info.

Here is a tid bit that wasn't in the Clemen's repair manual and that is where the oil filter is at. If you are sitting on the bike it is on the right hand side above the water pump. The cover has 3 screws in it in the shape of a triangle...

I took me awhile to find mine, hope it helps...

Thanks..I probably would have posted where to find it in the middle of my oil change.
