As for oil. Again, its an emotional subject...yes really, but 10w40 semin synth is whats recommended and thats what i put in. Again, brand not really an issue, as long as its a good oil. Castrol, Silkolene, Shell etc. Also make sure its a bike oil and not car. Some car oils will cause clutch slip...and again, some peope will say other wise.
