I always ran 20w50 in my I4 Jap bikes. Usually a synth blend, but whatever. Just do it on time. Don’t clean your carbs unless you have a problem. Just don’t forget to use fuel stabilizer when you store it for the winter. It’s a lot like a car, you just have to be more vigilant about maintenance because, well, breaking down on a bike sucks and can be more dangerous. ---
