I put the FJR to sleep w/ a sump full of very old, Delvac 1 5W-40 that was idled up to check sump level only. Fresh oil, 91 octane, ethanol-free fuel, red Stabil, small amount of synthetic injector oil (very small) along w/ small amount of some Seafoam. Ran that long enough to get circulated to the injectors & then plugged in for a long, winter's nap.

prior to storage...

'06 Honda Shadow 750 Aero...blend of leftover Havoline 10w-40 conventional car oil & BelRay 10w-40 conventional motorcycle oil & HiFlo Filtro HF204 filter

'09 Suzuki GZ250...blend of leftover Havoline 10w-40 conventional car oil & BelRay 10w-40 conventional motorcycle oil & OEM Suzuki element filter

*** the oil is used for late autumn, winter, and early spring and will be changed with 1000-1500 miles on it; I will then switch to Spectro 10w-40 conventional motorcycle oil for riding season; late season oil change will be the remainder of the Havoline/BelRay mix for winter storage ***

2007 Moto Guzzi 1100

Motul 7100 10w-60 oil
Bosch 3330 Filter
OCI is 3000-4000 miles (every 9 months) for me.

Both of these are factory recommended brands. Lots of owner and professional mechanic experience shows you really need a high quality 10w-60 synthetic oil for a modern big block Guzzi.

Not sure of how many miles ( a lot) 1977 XR-75 with factory oil & filter, changed in 1983. I was a kid, it was a fast tank!

1982 V45 Sabre, 23,600 miles. Had to dump a fill of Valvoline 10W40 Synthetic motorcycle oil at 600 miles due to poor shifting. I was afraid I was going to have to replace the clutch, which would have been a shock since I bought the bike new and the clutch hasn't been abused.

The poor shifting began immediately with this fill and bleeding and flushing the clutch fluid helped, but the shift quality was still bad. Wasn't fun to ride with the poor shifting, and likely caused as much dog wear as the last 10K miles on the machine.

Replaced with Castrol Actevo semi syn 10W40, reused the Fram Ultra filter after dumping it out.
