    I've been using the factory spec'd Repsol synthetic 10-60 since new and have over 2,600 miles on it, but at over $13 a quart am considering another option. In my cars I've used Ams Oil synthetic for over 30 years and get a discounted price. I totally trust their product, and they do make a 4-stroke motorcycle grade, but only offer it in either 10-40 or 20-50. Let's hear some opinions - keeping in mind I have an 08 TE 300 with 2 of the clutch springs out for easier clutching.

    Everyone loves an oil tread! Ha! For what it's worth, I'm on the Amsoil train right now too, running 20-50 in my TE310. Don't have any clutch issues, same deal, 2 springs removed, and won't know how the innerds look till I tear into it, but from past experience I'd say it's a safe bet everything will be just fine. Change it regular, shouldn't be an issue with any good oil designed for bikes. Have been using Shell Rotella in all of my thumpers up till this point.

    I second that. Any good motorcycle specific oil when changed regularly will do the job. I personally stick with the synthetics. In my TE 250 I found that the AGIP 10w-60 seemed to provides the smoothest shifting. It's not too bad pricewise either ($11/ quart). The Elf Moto 4 XT Tech is great stuff too. You can get it for a good price here:
