Oil is a touchy subject to some.
I use ELF brand in my bikes.
I can't say I've had good experiences with motul.

Ive also been hearing some bad reviews of Motul, gearbox issues are the biggest complaint.
I can only just about afford the bike and I dont wanna have to buy a new engine too !!!

Not really,most car oils are diesel rated,but specific diesel oils have higher antiwear additives and are much the same additive package as motorcycle oils....but cheaper - I think the picture of a motorcycle on the bottle costs more to reproduce than a picture of a truck.The diesel oil I use in my diesels is said to be suitable for 80,000km change intervals - serious protection.

....is any that's not ON the road. All oil should be kept well away from roads, especially cornery bits.
You're welcome.
