Never done an oil change before, so never needed to know what oil to put in there. Any favourites I should try? :booze:

The M750 has a wet clutch, and I've read of some folks who have experienced problems with fully synthetic oil?!? The one they recommend using is Red Line SAE 15W40

Anybody here use this?

Shell Advanced - as recommended by Ducati :drunk:

What Miles said, Shell advance. worth messing with the weight of the oil too. I've been recommended to use 7.5 weight (half 5, half 10) as it makes the forks more supple and less fiercely damped

Use any bike specific semi synthetic oil, it'll be fine. I favour Rock Oil as it's good value and well proven, but Shell / Castrol / Silkolene etc equivelants are just as good.
