I would still use Motul 5100 (I've used it in most of my bikes in the last 6 or so years as well as all the others above) but I would go the 10W/50 rather than the 10W/40 to suit yr old diesel twin 500!!! :lol:

bit the bullet and got the motul 5100 10W/50 in stock in the end 'cause i want to do it today :kuda:

i think it was between $60 and $70, whatever :)
