Oil And filter change

Just wondering what oil to use and how much to put in with a full change "including the filter". thanks
admin

well its down to personal choice on what oil you use.

As long as its motorcycle oil and not car oil. (because of the clutch).
For england 10w/40 should be fine, but depending on how hot or cold the country is change the rating accordingly.

Personnaly I use semi-synthetic 10w/40
Mobile or silkolene are both good brands to use.

You also need to get the API rating that is correct for the bike.

On the side of the engine is a sticker, all written in japanese.
Its got 3 different measurements of oil in litres.

The one with the most L is for an engine rebuild.
the middle one is an oil and filter change (2.9L) - off the top of my head.
and the last is for just an oil change.
