Search this forum, I've seen Castrol V-Twin mentioned several times.
Avoid any "energy conserving" oils or oils with "friction modifiers" in the primary. The clutch won't work right with them.

Was looking for 20w50 V-Twin synthetic Pennzoil at my local Wally World which they didn't have. Went to an out of town WW and saw the Castrol 20w50 full syn formulated for Harley Davidson V-Twin engines. Decided to try it and brought home 4 quarts priced at $8.92 each. Used to use Castrol on my old metric bikes and never had any problems so I'm giving it a try.
