    Amsoil 20-50w in CA, I have used this stuff for a long time in other bikes and love it, fairly inexpensive too. Temps rarely get below 50deg here, generally 65+ while riding.

    I'm making my own blend as a cost cutter... 1qt ester (15w-50) + 1 qt synthetic blend (20w-40) ...

    I might try some Helix multi-grade in the future or even some straight 40w rotella... I'm here in the Philippines and it is ~70 degrees at sun-up on all days so far so I do not see much of a reason for a multi-grade oil...

    Seriously,
    Elf Moto XT 10-50 in the Huskies. I used to run Delvac(which is probably the best oil out there for diesel cars & trucks) in my DRZ(now sold), but had minor clutch slippage at high loads in 5th gear. No big deal and no harm done.

    Amsoil 20w50 all year long for 6600+ miles, and change it every 500 miles. I ride anywhere from 25 - 100+ degrees. Cam lobes are just starting to show a very slight wear. Cam chain looks new. :thumbsup:

    EDIT: One other thing I just found out on SMJ...Amsoil sells direct to the public from their sight. If you pay a $10/6mo (or $20/yr) preferred membership, you get 20-25% off their products. I have been paying almost $15/qrt locally. With the preferred discount from Amsoil, it looks like I can get them for under $9/qrt plus shipping.

    Sounds good!

    Is anyone doing any oil analysis on their used oil?
