Im using Rock Oil semi-synthetic...

Best not to go for a full synthetic, tends to work too well and give you clutch slip. ;)

i think the debate about fully synt was nullified recently.

in any case halfords do 10-40 motorcycle oil and so do hein gericke (which includes a free filter),
aim to pay £25

I always use Hein Gericke 10w40 Semi in my CBR6, (work for Hein Gericke so it's easier) but last time i did the RVF i used Motul 10W40, almost double the price won't be doing that again!
