I'll add one thing about the oil. I have been running the Shell Rotella T-6 that SgtSlag mentioned for about 10K miles in my bike now with zero problems.I was running 15w-40. But recently,out of pure curiosity, I switched to Valvoline 20W-50 Motorcycle oil and my oil pressure does not drop nearly as much when up to full operating temperature now. This makes for much smoother shifting and neutral is super easy to find now. I dont know if it was the thicker oil,or the swap to Valvoline,but I'm real happy with it. Oh, and the bike runs cooler now. Roughly 10-15 degress F cooler. Just throwing it out there.
