Due to being semi-sponsored and getting an awesome deal...... Motul 300v
Prior to this I used either Motul 1000 or even when the budget allowed, Silkolene Pro4.
Personally I don't think it matters too much what you use, as long as it is changed regularly. Some oils will say they give you an extra poofteenth of a horsepower by using their brand, but your not at the cutting edge of riders yet, so keep it cheap, and change it regularly.
Some will say full mineral, others will say full synthetic. Use whatever you feel comfortable with. Some bikes may not like one or the other, and this can be noticed by a smoother or notchier gearbox change. Only you can work that out for your bike, and only then by trial and error.
There is no magic formula for oil, suspension settings, brake fluids or tyres. You need to find what is good for your bike and you, and bikes of the same model and same year will have different feels.
Tyres are getting more expensive. Save money to spend on tyres by going a cheaper oil and changing it more regularly.
