New rider looking buy an R6, have a few questions
New rider? yeah
R6? not really.
I have recently taken the msf course and have already bought my first motorcycle here it is:
Paid $800 and it has extremely low mileage/great condition, what do you guys think?
Here comes the motorcycle noob question: I have done an oil change today in preparation for actually getting it on the street soon. i changed the filter and used mobil1 10w-40. i have read somewhere that car oils are not good for wet clutches on motorcycles? All i want to know is whether this oil i have put in today will damage the motorcycle and should be drained.
Thanks for the input!!!
BTW, insurance and gear coming soon!

Nice bike. My first bike was a Kawasaki KZ750 that was given to me by my uncle. The KZ is a stout bike, and should provide you reliable transportation for years to come.

Re: New rider looking buy an R6, have a few questions (I makes it RAIN)
I'd say that's a very good beginner bike, if only i could find a deal like that..

The thing looks great, congrats on the purchase!
I run Shell Rotella T Synthetic 5w-40 (blue jug) in my 1978 CB550 with no clutch slipping issues or leaks.
A lot of people run it with no complaints, its marketed almost as a "all purpose synthetic oil" (cars, motorcycles, diesels, boats etc.) and is boatloads cheaper than the "motorcycle formulated" synthetic oils (which they didnt have in 1983 anyway, lol).
