I have heard that Rotella synthetic diesel oil quitens it quite a bit but I'm not sure I want to go that road while it is under warranty.
Rotella is 5-W40 our manual calls for 10W40 0r 20W50 in hot climates. I am not saying that the Rotella is not suitable , just that it may give Suzuki an out when it comes to warranty work, plus it is diesel oil and our bikes are not deisel ! maybe I am paranoid!
