Sounds like a plan. You should keep an eye on the oil level until you are confident in the oil usage if any. Of course just checking the oil on a regular basis is highly recommended. A quick glance at the oil window is a good habit to get into everyday that you ride. Yeah, I sound a bit paranoid don't I ?

I am ocd checking stuff all the time too so no problem at all.
So far haven't had to add oil between changes... Brief as they are.

I am putting this at moment; i usually ride Highway, 60-65mph, and i found it much better than 10w40 or 15w50 i used before.
Here in sicily temps are very high bout, 27°C to 35°C at moment, and it will rise in august.
Yes, I'm still reading and reading about oil cooler, and looking for someone who just did it to see how.

Motul is a good product from my experience. Used it in a dirt bike under very hot temps. Even after 3 or 4 hours of riding the tranny still shifted and felt perfect. That in itself told me there was no oil breakdown. My riding buddy used real cheap oil and had a heck of a time. He would almost have to jump on the shifter to get it into 1st gear after we would stop for a scenic view. I on the other hand really annoyed him by reaching down and finding 1st gear with a finger tip.

So now I'm curious...
Has anyone put 20w-50 in their bike and had the pump fail?? In a warm climate?
A weakness suzuki didn't know about?

i was using 20w-50 for past few years....and my engine just work fine...no fail pump at all

and yeahh...motul esther 5100 is a great product for sure....but very expensive (IMHO)

and i was using oil cooler from suzuki SV650 since 2 years ago...

Yes! i see two variants. I want details 8~D
The oil cooler tempts me.
It tempts me, and I shall have it. I'll chase it round the Moons of Nibia and round the Antares Maelstrom and round Perdition's flames before I give it up!
