Ok, first of all.... a "what oil do I use", question on ANY form, 2 or 4 wheel, is askin' fer a life long debate.
However..... you lucked out here because, more often than not, the "purple oil" will not come into play.
The "4 stroke special oil" will not come into play....
We kinda' favor an oil used by "other than gas" burning vehicles, because simply..... It works. (with an additive if you want, but only if you want)
You don't HAVE TO use this oil, but it has proven to be the best by people that have actually USED it, not by some engineer that promotes it or has "scientifically proven" that it works better.
Try the wally world special Rotella 15-40w, and if you feel you need to add some ZDDP additive (do a search)... but just by adding the Rotella it will quiet your baby down a bit.
You have a "wet clutch", a little bit heavier oil will quiet the operation down a tad, just remember to keep that idle at about 1500 rpm.
