    I have been using 10W-40 Valvoline Motorcycle oil. I would not use anything heavier and it would have to be motorcycle oil for wet clutch. It is FULL synthetic oil.

    Why not just look in the owners manual and use the manufacturer's recommended specifications?

    Is there a particular reason that you want to use that specific oil? The specified oil is readily available. Just curious

    Always a good, No recommendation. Unless one has PhDs in petroleum and mechanical engineering it's always wise to follow the instructions of those engineers that designed and manufactured the vehicles.
