10W/40 or 10W /50 semi or fully
synthetic motorcycle engine oil that
meets specification API SH (or higher)
and JASO MA, such as Castrol Power 1
Racing 4T 10W-40
engine oil, sold as Castrol Power RS
Racing 4T 10W-40 (fully synthetic) in
some countries.

Do not add any chemical additives to
the engine oil. The engine oil also
lubricates the clutch and any additives
could cause the clutch to slip.
Do not use mineral, vegetable, non-
detergent oil, castor based oils or any oil
not conforming
specification. The use of these oils may
cause instant, severe engine damage.
Make sure that no foreign matter enters
the crankcase during an engine oil
change or top off.
