How about this...first - read your bike's service/owner's manual, second - try searching on the topic & last...go here (https://www.hdforums.com/forum/oil-a...ted-topics-30/) & look at the topics. I think you'll be busy for awhile, but will have answers to any/all oil type questions for m/c's.

I personally like vegetable. Makes the chicken crispy yet not too greasy.

Anything but Harley oil. Its not tested, and folks think just because its Harley its good.

I use Revline for my Sportster, most use Amsoil or Mobil One, for big Vs.

They are all good.

Go to the Oil and Oil Related Products section.
Do a search.

This has been asked and answered countless times on every motorcycle/auto/boat/airplane forum...
