Cool, I tend to find it's worth putting decent oil in, it doesn't cost much more but should make things last longer.

Other thing that might be worth a shot, get the K&N Oil Filter, not because it's uber good or anything, just because they weld a nut to the top of it and you dont need to take the lower fairings off next time you do an oil change

Only need a nut on the oil filter if you a fucking retarded monkey and tighten filter on too tight when new.

As for taking the fairings off, the lower comes off with ease 3 bolts i think, its not a big job.

I have a CBR600f and use castrol GTX car oil.

Before I started using that I was using whatever homebrand stuff it is that Hein Gericke sell with the free filter.

The castrol linked above will be going in my Daytona.

The Fazer is run on castrol semi synth.

The old CBR is run on £12 for 5l from wilkinsons. Brilliant stuff.

Its not so much what make you put in but how often you change it. Asda oil changed very 2k miles is going to be better for your bike than Castrol changed every 5k miles.

I'd rather use one of these when in a tight spot.
Click me you fucking mug.

Out whatever black slippery stuff you're comfortable with of the correct weight in there and change it regularly.

So you got the RR in the end then?

on the cbr600rr forum they talk about using a 3.5" tall oil filer instead of the standard 2.5" for easier access.

I couldn't find any of the ones mentioned when googling, probably could get one down at Andrew Page though, I just went for the Champion 2.5" sold by halfords and the Castrol 10w-30 oil shown above.
