Correct. The synthetic only comes in 5w40.

Just check the pads. No sense in replacing them if they're not worn out.

When they are needing replacement, get braided lines and new fluid at that time.
How do the tires and chain look?

Are your fork seals leaking?

pads look in good condition i replaced the rear tire two days ago to a pirelli diablo plan to do the same to the front next month, forks and seals look good but i do feel it goes down half an inch when i come to a stop(not abruptly but not a slow stop either) I'm looking to replace the chain next month either way it looks ok but i want to get a anodized color one I'm on the fence on changing the sprockets back to normal cause i hate that my top speed is like 140(not sure since speedo is off, but i ordered a speedo healer to fix this) but i love the acceleration thats why i was asking about the oil to maybe increase the horsepower/increase top speed cause i feel like I'm at too high rpms even when I'm coasting at 80mph

A larger rear sprocket will do that. Do you know how many teeth over stock it is?
If you choose to run those sprockets, make sure the teeth are in good condition and you buy the correct chain for them. 525 chains go on 525 sprockets and 520 chains go on 520 sprockets. They are not interchangeable. I would go with a new set of 520 -1/+2. The lighter chain will make the bike feel quicker and the sprocket combo will be a very street-able ratio. Stock length chain will fit right on too. Any larger in the rear will rev too high, need a longer chain, and be wanting to wheelie all the time.

That's a HUGE sprocket. Stock was 16/46. A 56 rear sprocket is good for stunting.

Get a new 520 chain with a 15 front and 48 rear and rebuild your forks. I'd bet they've seen some hard put downs in their time.

On top of that, get new springs and rebound valving while its apart. Should be the first thing people do to this bike IMO.
