Hello,
I have a '16 KTM 690 Enduro R, and was wondering if anyone has any oil recommendations other than 10w60? I know the factory recommended oil is Motorex 10w60. I've read 540rat's blog, I know his data is controversial, but it got me thinking, especially after reading about BMW rod bearing failures with 10w60 (I know, controversial). Has anyone dared try 10w40? I'm currently running Amsoil 10w60 at 2600 miles. I'm stock except a Wings can, and a 190 deg. thermostat switch. FWIW, this is the smoothest shifting bike I've ever owned, except for the 5-6 false neutral..
Thanks.
