My personal favorite, for a smooth gear engagement and never had a problem with the clutch was Castrol Syntec 10-40.

It must be a different formula here in Canada.The Castrol Syntec here has energy conserving on the label.They recently changed their formula & have a new name.Castrol "EDGE" and it too is energy conserving.I will only use motorcycle oil as the automotive oils are always changing.
:cool:

Fair enough.

It was the oil that I used in the oil change write-up and for the majority of the time that I had the bike and I loved it. There are people who simply do not want to use automotive oil in their motorcycles and really, as with any oil conversation, that's totally up to the individual.

So long as your bottle doesn't say energy conserving, you should be OK.
