Default oil question...

Im just getting it up and running after sitting for 6 years (long story). Heading into late summer/fall what oil should I use? And should i go conventional, blend, or full synthetic. Ill be using a K&N oil filter. Any other setup suggestion are welcome, thanks.

The oil subject has been discussed many times. If you do a search, you will turn up dozens of them.
What it boils down to is:
1. Use oil for motorcycles. It must be JASO-MA certified for wet clutches.
2. Use a weight that your manual suggests for your climate.
3. Make sure to keep it full and change it regularly.
4. Regular or synthetic is up to you.
