Best synthetic oil...
Ok so its time for my oil change and I'm told the bike had full synthetic in it...
It appears that it has AMSoil in it but that isn't the easiest oil to obtain. Should I switch to like Mobil1 or Motul... 
suggestions, comments,

Since your bike has a dry clutch you dont need to use motorcycle specific oil. Mobil 1 will be fine...

I run Shell Rotella T full synthetic and have not had any problems at all. Many people on the WERA board run it as well. A big plus is that it is also under $17.00 a gallon at Wally World.

I can't believe I'm posting in an oil thread... but, 
I've recently switched to Repsol, no complaints, there- I got a free t-shirt when I bought a gallon.
oh yeah, when you change your oil, make sure you lube your muffler bearings and change your blinker fluid, too. |

That blinker fluid is EXPENSIVE! They charged me $20 for it.  But I'm all set now, thanks

I've used a few different brands Motul, Elf, Amsoil, and Mobil 1. The only one mentioned that I haven't tried is the Shell.
My bikes been happy with the Mobil1 Red Cap which is now the Gold Cap 15winter 50 for the past 3-4 years...
Stay away from the high mileage Mobil oil
to each his own though....

Agree. I put over 35,000 miles on my bike running Mobil 1 15-50 and still have the stock clutch in my bike. Enough said right there about wet clutches and mobil 1 15-50. I think I busted that worry about if it will work with bikes lol. |

I've used Repsol, Amsoil, and recently Suzuki full synthetic oils.
All are fine.
