Day Dreaming ...
1981 R80G/S, 1982 R100RS, 2000 R1100RT
I like to keep it simple and use the same oil in all three bikes.
Manufacturer: Castrol
4 Stroke MOTORCYCLE oil - (Dino Oil)
Weight: 20W50 SG rated
I can get this stuff for a reasonable price at the local Canadian Tire store and pretty much any auto parts place when I am wandering around the USA. I follow the BMW oil change mileage recommendations and usually not before unless I am leaving on a very long ride and know an oil change is coming up in the next 1000 miles or less.
Also use the same gear oil in all the transmissions and drive shafts as well.
80/90 dino hypoid gear oil GL5 rated. I like simple. Simple is good!
