Shell Rotella in KZ200
22 Apr 2013 18:19
I know that the oil subject is always sure to spark debate. I am wondering about using Shell Rotella 15w40 in my new KZ200. I have heard that this oil is used by many motorcyclists and have had good results. Any comment would be appreciated. Thanks.

Just check that the label has "JASO MA" listed on it (it should) and you should be ok as long as you don't live in a cold climate (15w40). Ed
