I recommend that you dump that oil right away; it's not necessarily motorcycle oil, and it's only there for shipping purposes. I use four stroke motorcycle oil only. I happen to prefer synthetic, but that's up to you.

Nice machine! There's power hiding in that muffler (ask me how I know).

What kind of ale is in the box on the shelf?
I ran the engine for about 30 minutes total today, and drained the oil. Didn't see any metal, or anything unexpected. I plan to run plain 10w 40 Valvoline for the first 500 miles, then switch over to Mobil 1 full synthetic. Basically the same thing I do with every engine I own.

The ale is Budweiser American Ale... One of my favorites. I give it an A-, not as good as the old Michelob Dark, but pretty darn good.
