I've got a new Magician 250 on the way. What type of oil does everyone suggest? I'd like to have all my parts and upgrades ready before delivery . Thanks!

15w40 motorcycle oil suitable for a wet clutch, or many people use Rotella 15w40 for diesel engines because it works fine and is easy to get.

What Mudflap said

Stay away from synthetics until the engine is broke in properly.

I use to think that way also...
but then I started to wonder why jap & euro brands put
semi synthetics in right from the start...

you would think they have spent hours & countless dollars
on testing... but they still do it....
