I've been useing Mobile 1, 20w50 V twin. It seems to keep the engine clean and well lubed. It is also easy to get at most auto stores and wally.

OP
Not sure if you noticed but if you click on forums you will find an entire oil sub-section. Anything you could possibly need to know about oil is in that section.

Same could be said about Cam's and Tuner's. All this stuff has been talked to death.

To the OP. Lot's of good combination's of oil's out there. I've used just about all of them over the years. You didn't say what bike? I'll tell you what I settled with and it's as good if not better than any.
