I went to Shell Rotella T Synthetic (Blue bottle) right at the 600 mi. service on my V-Strom and have been using it ever since. That bike does not use any oil and has 10,000 miles on it.
The oil gets changed every 3-4,000 miles with a new filter every time. This bike carries myself and a passenger quite often and has a full set of GIVI cases.
I just changed the OEM break-in oil on my CBR 1000RR at 600 mi.service and went to Rotella T Synthetic and will continue to use it with regular oil/filter changes just like my other bike.
Rotella T "Dino" and Synthetic are not listed as "Energy Conserving" on the API label, on the back of the container, and are compatible with bikes that share engine/transmission lubrication.
I've also used Rotella T oil in my Chevy Silverado w/Duramax diesel engine and it has performed without any problems and that vehicle does not use oil either.
So yes ........you can use "diesel" oil in your bike.

So ..........those Rotella T Hats there Trout .........did you say you had more than one ?? I'll trade ya for .........oh lemme see a can of WD 
But seriously, if you want one... it's yours. Free to a good home.
I can't guarantee it's gonna help you bag the ladies, though. I mean even magic has it's limits... lol..
As far as men in maine.... lets see what happens when the Penn State football team goes up against the maine..... wait, does maine have any football teams?
I don't recall hearing anything about a maine football team. I guess you have the black bears, right? Oh yeah, 'cause they got beat by New Hampshire today...
Heck, they beat Hofstra, though!! Way to go team!! (Now wtf is "Hofstra"??
)
