I'd stick with the Mobil 1.
I've heard some bad stuff about Amsoil.
But, to each their own.
Some people prefer dino oil.
I'll stick with the synthetic, thank-you very much.
And even with synthetic fluids, I still change them every 2 to 3 thousand miles.
But I like clean oils, and to me, the price of doing your own oil change is cheap enough to keep fresh clean fluids in the bike.
Bobby.

Amsoil if yo want to use something different. I use Mobil 1 in my bike but Amsoil claims to lower the temp a full 10 degrees.

You can get it on our sig link below.
