I'm not sure what the differences are about it tbh, I just used some synthetic stuff with a picture of a motorbike on the front... I've never had any complaints from my bike (i don't think...)

But I like the sound of most expensive (within reason, don't get ripped off)

Good luck and happy shopping!

The most expensive is not necessarily the best.

Understanding bike oils is essential for getting the best oil for your bike.

The thickness of the fluid is measure in SAE rating. The lower the number the lighter it is (the easier it flows). When oil gets hot it also flows easier so to compensate for a too light hot oil viscosity mix are available called 20W-50. Which means a cold oil flows like a 20 grade but at high temperature it flows like a thicker 50 grade.

I would suggest a synthetic oil for your bike cos synthetic holds its properties much better than a natural oil

Valvoline, Castrol and Silkolene are probably the bestones to look at. Ive always used Silkolene, but its whatever you prefer. ;)

I only will use castrol tts good stuff fully synthetic (has to be really) never had a problem.

Here's an idea - read the Owners' Manual.

It will tell you EXACTLY which oil to use.

Take it into the shop with you and just point at the page, saying, "Gimme that, please".

I do!!
