80-90w gl5 rating.

I believe I used Mobil 1 75-90. I have the bottle at home. I'll try and look this evening when I get home.

Those are both good choices, as long as it has a GL5 rating.

Thanks!!!

was using 75 / 90

Then

I started using the Lucas 85 / 140.

Runs much quieter with the 85 /140

I use Royal Purple 75w-140. Change it out every other time I change my oil and filter.

I changed mine about 200 miles ago and I used Mobil 1 Synthetic 75-90.

GL-5 90W per the owners manual.

Just changed mine to Mobile 1, 75/90, Its running quieter, Now the bike is synthetic from top to bottom.
