k&n always makes quality filter products. Also, go with the yamalube. Its not a high viscosity so you won't have to worry about waxing up in the cold weather.

Are you wanting to switch the FULL Synthetic.?
If so, Mobil 1 4TX, or Motul 300V, or Redline.
They all make great Full Syn. Oils.
If your sticking with Conventional... then without a doubt go with Yamalube.
As for Filters, Stock or KN is best. About same price.

How do you figure it's any less viscous than anything else of the same advertised viscosity?
Just curious what your reasoning is.
He does not have a reasoning, like so many others, he just bent over and pulled it out of someplace dark. ,
Thats a correct statement ''if you can find it"
Go to any bike shop, wall mart or auto parts store and find Superior oil on a moments notice.

Well yankin&bankin, I advised to go with yamalube because most standard automotive oils are designed to damn near completely eliminate friction(or come as close to that as possible). This is largely due to the fact that most cars do not have wet clutches which most if not all motorcycles do. So if one were to go with standard automotive oil, one would have to be careful and say close attention to the feel of his/her clutch because it may slip unexpectedly.
WOW really
