from what ive read on here these bikes were made to run on the low spec, low grade petrol, unless you have a tuned up motor the cheap stuff is good. the other thing ive read is dont mix mineral oil with synthetic oil.

Castrol GTX is very popular here - and is a tried and tested product
I personally use Halfords Semi Synthetic Oil and Standard 95 Octane fuel.
With a standard Z, - If you use the higher octane fuels (eg Total Excellium/BP Ultimate/ Shell Optimax) - it will not do any harm, except possibly to your wallet !!

Also use Halfords semi synthetic 15-40 in both cars and bikes. Changed every twelve months. Its the same spec as the "named brands" .
