oh and where is a good place to order oil from? it gets a little cold in the mornings but summer is hot. i was told by the dealer 20/50. but i think 10/40. please correct me :roll:

Motul is pretty good oil.

But, Bel-Ray is better. I've been running the EXS full synthetic for years now. Last few changes I've been running the 0w-40. Works just fine, even in 100+ degree temps.. If you wanted a little thicker oil, you could move up to the 10w-50 Bel-Ray.

I was using the Motul E-Tech 100 10W-40. I ran it for a while,
and just tried some of the KawaChem dino 10w-40...{ cuz I'm poor :lol: }
I think the Motul helps the 12 shift smoother. I was getting it from a local dealer...a little over $8 per quart

I don't think you can go wrong with either. I am running BelRay in my 2000 ZX-12 only because I can get it locally. Here in Florida I run 20w-50 in summer and 10w-40 in winter but I really don't think that matters either.

In my Land Speed Bike I use E-Tech 100 Motul that I got for about $6 per Quart. I use 10 w 40. I refuse to use any "0" weight Oil and 50 weight Oil takes HP away!
