ZX9's have run just fine on 10W-40 mineral oil for over 15 years. A 5W-40 semi syn is more than enough to spoil her.
The main thing you need to know is "OIL IS CHEAPER THAN ENGINES" Change it regularly and you won't have too many issues for many years . Put wiz bang intestinally fortified , chrome plated , double over head foxtailed super primo oil in every so often when you managed to save enough coin to buy it ... your motor will be junk pretty damn quickly ..
Other thing is . Choose a quality oil and stick to it . Mixing oils = sludge risk.
