On that note, they've been selling me 20w50 oil (I use 'Zuki oil). The maual clearly states 10w40. I asked, and the guy behind the counter (who has NEVER steered me wrong on anything . . . and was even the second to last person to say, "Sir, please don't try to ride that bike home," just before I dropped it in the parking lot) said 20w50 is "what I want for a 600 Bandit."

I wonder what gives?

I plan on buying 10w40 next time I buy.
