Mobile 1 10W40 motorcycle oil and Honda OEM filter. This is what I have used for my last three bikes. I drive about 10,000 miles per year.
Peace,

I read a bit, the blogger seems to have strong opinions about motoroil, but... what's the curve ball exactly?

that wet clutches aren't as sensitive as people think. at least not according to this guy. the QS oil he recommends is "resource conserving", supposedly a no-no for wet clutches.

Ah, OK, got it. I knew I was likely reading through / over something.
