If your engine is in reasonable condition you should use a motorcycle specific oil of the correct viscosity .I'd avoid car oils .
A lot of the VStrom guys use Shell Rotella non synthetic [diesel oil ]15/40 with very good results .It does not have friction modifiers and will be fine in transmissions as well .
