So I got my bike with 1.6k miles on the clock.
At 3k miles, I decided to do an oil and filter change, as well as a general check. This is well before the next service due at 6k miles. The top end was sounding quite clattery when red hot after a good blast, as well.
The oil that came out was horrible
very thin, and not the cleanest.
I changed it for Motul 5000 10w40 and a K&N filter (no real reason for K&N, it was just good value and I like the logo!) - £34 inc delivery from sportsbikeshop.
What a difference! The top end clatter has quietened right down. I wish I'd dropped the oil as soon as I bought it.
