Any old semi synth'll do IMHO....if youre changing the oil regularly enough you wont notice much difference between them.

I use motul oil...5000 or 5100. Pretty good price. Free filters from busters usually too.

Changing the oil regularly is the most important bit.

If you want super slippy this seems to be a pretty good price.

That's a very good price for full synth oil and a reputable brand.

I bought some of this stuff from M&P up at the bike show at Docklands earlier this year when they were giving away a drain pan for free.I use the fully-synth for the KTM enduro as that is what they specify,but I use the semi-synth for the other bikes from Hein Gericke where you get a free oil filter for about £23.

Castrol GTX 10w-40 is used in the CB-1 and all my other bikes.

Yes before you all critcise me, its car oil and alot of other BCFers use it too. Its pretty much a myth that motorcycle oil is specfic because it has the word "motorcycle" on it. An excuse by manufactures to bump the price up and mislead us..........

Its a good semi synth oil that is usually on offer from ASDA for a tenner for 4 litres.
