Royal purple is what I'm switching too. My friend runs it in his Harley dragster and street bikes.

I use GN4 or Amsoil in 10w40.

the best kind of oil is one that meets or exceeds JASO-MA standard. Synthetics hold their viscosity better than conventional, but not all synthetics perform equally.

I use Amsoil in my bike and my powerstroke. I can't speak for the bike but it improved my gas milage in my truck by almost 3 mpg!

Royal Purple 10w 40. They make a product specifically for motorcycles. I also noticed it made my bike run cooler also.

this guy has got it right jaso-ma approved. don't use synthetic, it's too slick for your wet clutch, if that makes any sense.
