Thanks for reply. I have Some MorriS oils 10/40 semi synthetic that I put in my old car. Being a newly returned old bike owner I'm just finding out whats best to use! Not being cheapskate and happy to spend if the morris oil doesn't suit.

Cheers.

It needs to be JASO MA for engines with oil shared between engine, clutch and gearbox.
