Which motor oil should I use for my motorbike?

Question:
When changing the engine oil on a motorbike, is there a motorcycle-type engine oil that is designed for the nuances and high rpm of a bike engine, or is standard engine oil normally used?

Answers:

am considering buying the 07 yamaha tt250r and was wandering if any one had heard anything bad about it?

There are many to choose from......the most important thing to recognize is that MOST (not all) have wet clutches that are formualted specifically for motorcycles. Using car oil will destroy the clutches prematurely and may not be of adequate rating to handle the loads of high performance bikes. Find out what weight (5W50) and what rating (SG, SH, or ??) and then purchase the oil at almost anyplace (Murrays, Pep boys, Honda Dealer, online....Mobil, Maxima, .....many many brands). Go with a pure sythetic if you run it hard and it is high HP.

If you have a nice new bike use the oil specified in your owners manual and protect your investment. If its an old bike or a POS, just put any oil in, it won't make any difference.

which bike is better for 2007, mileage,price is not a matter. Please advise me if any one have experience?

Basically, regular motorcycle oil is similar to regular automobile oil without moly or friction modifiers. These additives tend to cause clutch slippage in motorcycles which often have wet clutches that share engine oil. This type of oil is generally good for any motorcycle. But being a petroleum based oil, it will need to be changed more often than synthetic oil.

Basic rule of thumb though, is that if you have a sportbike which is ridden hard or at high rpm, then a 100% synthetic oil is best.
