What kind of oil are you guys running in your bikes? Been hearing lots of things about running 10w60 over the recommended 10w50
Of course, everyone has a different oil they would suggest.

Pick one.
Change it often.
Maxima Extra4 10w40 is what i like. They make a 10w60.
The Shop
So , I am not sure about the "bad stories" you are talking about.

Ran it in my last 3 KTM's with zero problems. I change the oil every 3-4 hours. Rotella is cheap enough that I don't mind doing it often.
You are going to get 100 different opinions. The guy who builds my engines, also works with top racers in the industry and says if you are changing your oil often they all work the same.
I've heard race teams using Rotella oil inside the team sponsors oil jugs...
Hinson guys told me to run Maxima.
Rekluse suggests Rotella.
Like I wrote above, I change it every 3-4 rides or 4 hours. I'm going to pick up my engine this week. Hit 75 hours on a 2015.5 250sx-f. Just had the whole thing rebuilt from bottom to top. If they still have the wear parts, I'll post photos.
