Recommend oil

[Alan D.]

What is a good oil? The clutch was slipping with the oil that was in the bike when I got it. Book says don’t use desultory CD She’ll has. deselect that was CG or something like that 20/40, can I run that?

Wow. Google translate is at a loss...
Slippage, if it's a friction modified oil the damage is pretty much done. Sorry.
Oh, and don't use corn oil, moto.monk is being funny... I think.

Read the handbook. Buy oil that matches the spec stated for your region plus the relevant certification (JASO MA2 is what it must be compliant to). Buy your own favourite brand of that spec. Job done.

First post and it's an oil thread

Just go with the Yamalube lubricants. Then you’re safe. I run those for many years without problems.

Being a first post, I'm wondering if a troll just wandered in.

If not then please use the search box. As in any vehicle forum this has been beat to death multiple times.

Welcome to the forum. Please take a minute to add your location to your profile, it gives your posts context and helps others give you better answers when you have questions.

Any motorcycle oil is fine. Preferably a 10/40 for most riders and not one for air cooled Vtwin engines.

Most likely if the clutch was slipping when you bought the bike, the damage has already been done. It may have nothing to do with the oil being used.

The manual has a nice chart & info on engine oil specification that needs to be met:

I still say organic corn oil is the way to go. Its been scientifically proven to improve mpg, add hp, clean valves, reduce emissions and cook flautas in.

I'd say run 31/41 psi to compensate

Hey, Hey!

Most likely the OP hasn't set up his preferences to see replies and get notifications. If and when they remember to check back, maybe we will get more info. If they are real, the minor issue that they bought a bike with a slipping clutch says something about their experience level. Hopefully we can help them. I greatly suspect they are not in the US.

At least it wasn’t a spam post for male performance.
