I plan on changing the oil in my 04 600rr tomorrow. Obviously full synthetic. What viscosity should I get…but more importantly what brand oil should I buy… Obviously the motor oil is shared with the tranny so I want the best stuff out there… Fellow bikers, what do you suggest? ---

I changed the oil in my bike when I got it and wasn’t sure what was ran in it previously so I ran some regular motor oil, non synthetic. Is this going to cause any problems? Should I change the oil again and run semi synth? I’ve only put about 1000 miles on it since I changed the oil when I got it. Majority of which is highway miles. It’s a 2004 r6 btw. ---

^ yaya just change your oil like you should and you don’t need that synthetic. Also, stay away from anything with friction modifiers or other additives as it is bad for the wet clutch. ---
