Do a search for oil, diesel oil, car oil and you'll see what been used before and what to watch out for. Wally sells rotella in the 15w40 and the T6 in the blue jug at the best price. And the T6 has the correct rating for the bike.

You must be a new rider, practice, practice, practice. 1st gear will always be a bit jerky, the key is to pull in the clutch and let it roll. When you need to speed up, rev up to about 2k rpm and slip the clutch.
