engine oil
Lynx:
Really?! Personally I'd not like to run a bike long term on oil that was suitable for running in. Likewise I'd not like to run in a bike on oil that offers superb wear resistance as you want the bores, rings, pins and shells to wear to match each other.
Bryanj:
Just use a decent 10(15)w40 for both and do changes at 500, 1500 thaen every 1500 (or annualy).
If its running all original Honda parts they are built as if they are run in anyway and just need bedding down, the first oil change is to remove any floating cr*p that was in the crankcases

I bought 2 5L Triple QX10/40 £16 each. Will change oil on both in the spring. :)
Lynx:
Dare I mention you should only use motorcycle specific engine oil in bikes? :) It's designed for use with wet clutches, but more importantly contains molecules that withstand the mashing from the wet gearbox :-X.
paul G:
Lynx,
That's why you use the diesel one as this is the same with the mashing from the turbo etc.
If you look back through the threads you will see one where Bryan has gone into it giving the spec of the Tesco diesel being the correct one.
