This would have been asked before I guess but here goes. What engine oil seems to work in the TTR ? I had been using a racing 4T (maxima) oil in the XR & never had a problem, been thinking about a semi Syn oil 10w 40, I'm using the same in my Triumph's but they ask for a semi syn oil so I'm using 10w 40 Maxima. ...
