For the most part I use whatever I have. I just grab three quarts from the case of whatever brand i bought at the time.... sometimes valvoline, sometimes a Meijer brand. I just did a oil change today in fact, and was about to switch to Mobil 1 full synth 5w30, but decided against it at the last moment and went with the cheap stuff. I dunno.. I've tried the Golden Spectro's and Honda HP4 and GN4, but I don't do any racing, and lately I'm lucky if I get to put 1500 miles a season on the bike... As you already found out, there's all sorts of conflicting opinions on motor oil. All I can say it try some different brands and formulate your own opinions.
