At the end of the day, pretty much anything in spec will work fine.
That being said, I did a bunch of research for my V85 and determined that Motorex Cross-Power does the best in high demand applications. Air cooled engines can have a really wide temp range. That's what I use.
It works great, maybe a bit expensive. I've run used oil analysis and change it 3-4k miles based on aluminum wear. I don't see a reason to use something else.
I use Motorex semi-synthetic 4t in all of my KTM's over the years in a 15w50 weight. It has never been an issue. I have used Motul 5100 and 7100 in other bikes before, and I prefer the 7100 over the 5100. It feels like the bikes perform better when the temps rise and I'm really riding them hard.
It takes a “synthetic blend” of motorex 15W50 oil. And uhh yeah works good I guess, don’t have to change it too often, and as far as performance goes, it doesn’t really matter because I’m on restricted power anyways so yeah ????♂️

Just came across this. Mine is a 2024 w 31 hours. I always used Motorex but I’m trying T6 this time. I use it in all my other off road bikes. In the 2t it’s just the clutch and trans. Also I’m changing it every 10 hrs
Ive used these. Motorex was the best. Castrol was pretty good, and Shell in case the others were not available. Now at 34k odo without problems.
Honestly Motorex is a good oil, but it is extremely expensive for what you get. I specialize in performing Used Oil Analysis (Worked for Reliability departments for mining outfits) and it’s just a Ho Hum oil.
I have always used Motorex. I have the same bike and 3 other KTM’s. Always Motorex. I know it is spendy but it’s very high quality
In my Shiver 750, Motul or Motorex every 3,500 miles were required to keep neutral findable when you want it and hidden when you don’t. False or impossible-to-find neutrals were a sign that it was time for an oil change.
