I have been asked alot lately about the best oils for sportbikes. I personally use Castrol Actevo 4T. It synthetic based and helps against dry starts and has a high breakdown tolerance. It's priced decent and has some great properties.
Here is a link for those intrested.

There are some big name oil brands also but this stuff works great for your money!

Man never use car oil in a bike the wet clutch will not like it for long. Bike oils have friction modifiers. :shock:
ACt-Evo is synthetic blend BTW.
