    Hello,
    The manual calls for a 10W-60 engin oil but I only have 10W-40 syntethic oil where I am located.
    Would I do best in awaiting a mail delivery for the 10W-60 or should I just go with the 10W-40, I have no clue what previous owner used.
    I will not race it or drive competitive in any way.

    What do you guys suggest?

    You might want to try a turbo rated 20-50 in that bike. That is what I used in my 07 450. I didn't even use synthetic, because my local dealer told me that the synthetic oil that was recommended would make the clutch slip.

    I always used Castrol Activo 20w50 in that series engine.
    Some good stuff...

    Motul 10w50, Motul 10w60 or Maxima Pro Plus 10w50. The Motul is getting pricy. A lot of guys run Rotella with success also. I used it in my KTM RFS engine for years with no issues

    I've used Rotella in my bikes for over 25+yrs.It's been a while so I might be wrong on the weight but I think it was 20-50?
