Over @ cyclegear and they have it on sale..Do you think this would be ok to use with the BEAST?

Is this the mandatory "Oil thread" that every forum on the planet sees?

You should see the big dust-up about oil on the clay potters forum.

I'll go out on a limb and say if that's what you want ...go for it!

But I use any API SG or higher, JASO Standard MA type.

I will not spend more than is necessary for oil that meets the same requirements.

Refer to page 9-1 of the Owners Manual for specific requirements of the Engine oil.

Maxxers,

Just a little study on various motorcycle lubricants.
If it's 100% unbiased, who knows.
But it's interesting reading.

(I tried to add file but didn't work)

Any MOTORCYCLE specific oil will be fine. Some non-motorcycle oils are also, but you must choose VERY carefully. This is because most modern bikes have wet clutches that may slip when using automobile oil. A Gen 2 VMax will DEFINITELY slip it's clutch with automobile oil that contains friction modifiers.

OK, the file was too big for the post.
Look at this link instead.
