oil question on a versey?

[swankallcity]

Hey Criswell, that's a nice bike! I have a Vstrom (which is more like the Versys than a KLR). I've been using Castrol GTX 10w-40 in it, at least through the break-in. I have been giving some thought to using the Rotella T 15w-40 or maybe going synthetic (Rotella 5w-40) later. Anyone have thoughts to share on this? -Barron

I am thinking of running the same oil I use in my KLR and Connie which is Shell Rotella dino 15 / 40 W. Book says use 10/ 40W but I don't think it will matter??? Also what is the valve adjustment interval. Book is a little confusing on that and I haven't got a service manual yet. The dealer said 15,000 miles. Anybody make a reaer rack for them or will the JC Whittney rear container work on them? > > Criswell >
