i get about 10L to the 100km in my stock one at the moment. any oil is good mate it all comes down to preference

There is no bad oil. If your motor is in good nick, a 20W-50 will cover it. If it is a bit of an oil burner like our 1300, we put 30-60 as it is a bit thicker and doesn't leak out or burn as quick.

It only runs on 3 cylinders as it is really old now, but it still dak's along
