I use Motul on my 250 and Repsol on my 600. Have you guys used Repsol? Freakin' awesome! No funnel needed (has an inner snout incorporated) and smells awesome!

20W-50? that's heavier both cold and warm.
10W-40 is what is recommended by Kawasaki. |

I just switched by bike to synthetic Mobil1 10W-40... I should have done it sooner it shifts like a dream compared to regular motor oil.

15W 50 SS Yamalube... It's sold by the Yamaha guys, and I've heard some good things about it. Also using a K&N oil filter...

Been running Castrol Act Evo X-tra 4T 20W-50 for the last 2 years. I've used K&N, WIX and Fram oil filters and the only difference I've seen between them is the amount of money spent.

That depends entirely on how many miles your bike has done... Dont even think of fully synthetic before 5000miles... Till then you can use semi synthetic...
