Dunno what you have available down under. Full synthetic, and JASO rated is the way to go. Purolator Pure One, oil filter if you can get it.

OK now, everybody line, up! No pushing or shoving. Cmon now....I've always used the Mobil 1 that is reccomended, although I did switch to the 10-40 because the 20-50 was too hard to get. Usually used a Fram filter right off the shelf.

Amsoil 20/50 , I figure my engines worth the extra 15-20 skins over a cheaper product. Ya know about the cost of a good burger, fries and beer

I have used three of the most popular Amsoil, Mobil 1 4T and Rotella T6. Personally I have found that my bike shifts the best with Amsoil. I believe that if you change the oil and filter at the appropriate time it doesn't matter what you use.
