    10w40 for the zx6r g1/g2
    i got some on ebay for the cbr recently pretty cheap on ebay.
    think it was motul 5000 (semi synthetic) and cost about £25 for 4 litres inc a free filter.

    level wants to be about half way up the window when bike is level and engine stopped.

    doesnt need to be cold (niether does a car though)
    just give it a minute or two to settle.

    just remember, bike must be level.
    you can fill it on the side stand, but check level when its upright.

    i've been using castrol gtx for the last 3 years in my blackbird due to it being on offer at asda for 12 quid regular, never had clutch slip yet nor any other problems.

    I think castrol has the friction stuff in
