Pessoal, olhem esse site:
www.portablepct.com/fastlarry/banditfaq.htm
É um site com dicas, informações complementares para a Bandit, mas creio que algumas coisas sirva para motocicletas de modo geral.
Vou descrever a parte em que fala do óleo:
Engine Oil
This is almost a taboo subject because of different people's views on oil.
Suzuki recommends SAE 10W/40 oil. As long as you change the oil every 3000-4000
miles (more if your bike is subjected to rough conditions or lots of start and stop
riding) you should be fine. Be careful not to use synthetic oils, "energy
conserving" oils, or additives with "friction modifiers" unless they are
specifically designed for use in a motorcycle. Bandits, like most other bikes, use a
wet clutch which is submerged in oil. Friction modifiers can cause the clutch to
slip, especially if your bike has increased horsepower over stock. This is not a big
problem on the 400 or 600cc models but happens often on the 1200. Note that Suzuki
only recommends changing the engine oil filter after every *other* oil change (every 8000
mi). Whether or not you change the filter each time or every other time seems to be
personal preference. I personally run Mobil 1 5w30 motor oil and it
runs cooler, no clutch problems, faster starts, more power on the dyno, better mpg and
much better trannie shifting.
Mobil Delvac 1300 Super 15w40
Chevron Delo 400 Heavy Duty 15w40
Shell Rotella T Heavy Duty 15w40
These oils are non-synthetic conventional oil available in both 10W-30 and 15W-40 grades
that meets SJ, SH, CH4 and Allison C4 specs. It's marketed as a commercial grade
oil, but also meets the latest automotive spec (SJ). Since it's a 15W-40 oil, it isn't
limited in the amount of zinc compounds like the thinner automotive SJ oils. It actually
has more zinc dithiophosphate than some motorcycle oils and a lot of the old SG oils. It
has 1.69% zinc dithiophosphate, while Mobil 1 MT4 for motorcycles only has 1.08%.
Because it's formulated for heavy-duty applications, it can usually be found by the gallon
at truck stops and auto parts stores.
~$5-10US/gallon. Good reading on oil for your Bikes> (

Temos algumas coisas interessantes aqui:
- O cara usa óleo 5w30 na bandit dele, e diz que o motor trabalha mais frio, fica mais econômico, não tem problemas na embreagem, melhores trocas de marcha, maior potência no dinamômetro...
Talvez em regiões quentes o 5w30 não seja o mais adequado, mas o 10w40 dá pra ir de boa, inclusive é o recomendado pela suzuki.
Esse negócio de que óleo de moto é 20w50 já morreu faz tempo!!
- Vejam os óleos recomendados, são todos para frota mista de uso comercial, assim como o nosso Top Turbo.
- Estou olhando num manual gringo da B1250, e a troca do filtro de óleo é feita em 1000km, e depois, pasmem, só com 18.000km!!!!! é muita diferença com o que é recomenddo pela JTodedo, que é a cada 3.000km... Não sei, tem coisa errada nisso...
- Outra coisa interessante que observei nesse manual é que recomenda óleos SF/SG (sem Jaso MA) e SH/SJ (Jaso MA)
O que vcs acham??
