31a. Oil – this always brings up some interesting discussion
(important but… big yawn) Don’t change it regularly and
see what happens. Make up your own mind but you probably should follow
the manufacturer’s recommendation donchathink?

31b. I use Shell Rotella T4 (15W40) in ALL but one of my motorcycles.
The Suzuki VS Intruder & "S" series Boulevard Motors (in particular) were
designed for & run BEST on Regular "Dino" oil.
Semi-Synthetic & Synthetic Oils can (in MOST cases) cause the Clutch to SLIP

Info as noted above is good for the
VS 800, VS750, VS700
