Engine Oil recommendation for xr650r
I am the second owner of a 2000 xr650r with 8000 km's on it mainly being road usage. I am going to be changing the oil myself from now on. I am considering which oils to use and am wondering what your experinces are. I live in australia so temperatures range from 0 to 35C where I live so i'm looking at 10-40w and 20-50w. I'm considering either the semi-synthetic Motul 5100 or a shell semi or fully synthetic oil. As i don't know which oils the previous owner used will it matter if changing the type of oil, i.e. mineral to synthetic. I've also been recommended Belray oils. My riding normally consists of 50% road(hard riding) and the rest pretty intense off-road. Thanks for your thoughts.
