Hi new to this bike what is the best oil to run in it.
If you mean what spec. then Kawasaki specify SAE10W-40, API SG or higher with JASO MA,MA1 or MA2.
If you mean what make/brand, then I would say the best you can afford.
I always use a semi synthetic quality oil, Silkolene is my choice and always has been, I change the oil, oil filter, air filter and diff oil every four thousand miles because I like my bike to have a treat.
It does not take long and you can have a coffee while the old stuff is draining out, I also have a sump plug with the magnet on the inside so I can check if there is every any swarf present, touch wood none to date.

Al, does the magnetic sump plug stick to your artificial hip :mfr_lol:
More to the point does it suck up drain covers as he rides along 😁

No the hip is stainless steel, not magnetic.
And when I pop my clogs I hope the wife recovers it for scrap.
