I just use halford motorcycle semi synthetic, at 1000 miles a litre oil consumption, seems at bit of a waste to put really expensive oil in the beast

Hein Gericke semi-synth 10/40. £19.99 plus free filter...that fitted as good as OE.

I use Motul 5100 in mine and it hasnt used a drop and over 70,000 km on the clock to boot lol
My bike maybe a dinosaur but it still has some bite & has a mighty roar.

Sometimes I wake up grumpy ........ but usually I let her sleep in

Genuine oil filter for good oil pressure and Motul 5100.
definately a good combo, will cut oil consumption and run nice and smooth.
available here in OZ as well.
cheers
