Other Euro brands such as Castrol or Motul are also fine choices
I used Motul and it made shifting noticeably better
I used the Kawasaki 10w-40 for the first year I rode mine, it would always have an odd mis shift here and there. Last year I used Motul 7100 and it made a huge difference, way less shifting issues
If you are considering an oil additive, best practice is to instead use higher quality oil (I like motul) and select one which matches your use case.
I've been using Motul for hybrid cars.
Well after the second oil change in the dealer I decided to look a external place to change my VN oil but I just bring everything and since then I use Motul 5w-30, no issues so far, a bit expensive but I dont care.
Motul 5100 because it makes the gearshift feel nice.
I have only used Motul oil in my car since it’s first oil change. Motul 5w-30 in mine as it’s boosted and only driven in the summer.
I’d just stick with Motul, typically you pay for what you get.
Motul 7100 is good but quite expensive. I had good experiences with it. Not sure if its just me but it seemed like it holds heat better? My temp gauge always seems to hold steady at three bars when not stopping and my N400 feels smoother for shift changes.
