It’s really very simple.....

.....Don’t suffer analysis paralysis.

Just pick any good oil in 10-40 or 5-50 that you can easily source and fits your budget and CHANGE that oil every 3,000 miles.

Replace the water pump and Air/Oil Separator every four years.

Replace the brake fluid every two years.

Be prepared for ignition coil and cam chain tensioner replacement at some point down the road.

That’s it.

Use Shell gasoline and let her warm up properly before driving the snort outta her.

Don’t worry. Just enjoy the machine.

Welcome to the party, Pal!
