I think if you get any Motorcycle Semi Synth you'll be fine. I've heard the critical issue is to pick one and stick to it though

I'm with stupid on this one

See, my senile ramblings do occasionally come up with a winner....... yacahns.

For the last 73000 kms on my 2001 ZZR1100 I've used (or Darcy put in for me) Putoline 15W50 and he now uses Motorex of the same grade.

Serviced every 6000kms as per service schedule and all good.

What's wrong with castrol power1??

And before you get caught up on car vs bike oils, as long as there is no friction modifiers they're fine for bikes.

I use penrite everyday synthetic car oil in my KTM.

And in 2010, Glenn Allertons valvoline superbike went ok on valvoline syn-power car oil.
