Hi,. I'm new to this forum. Just bought a 2022 R1250RS and am LOVING it. I'm looking for a good oil to use in my bike....other than the Factory BMW oil. Any help will be appreciated. I'm used to running Valvoline or Mobil 1

You will soon discover threads on tyres/suspension/servicing/comfort/accessories/faster blue bikes/clothing/travel etc ... enjoy, Dave

Also a few more replies from those who know better than I

I'm guessing Gil is likely a bit shell-shocked. I hope he/she hangs around and never raises these red meat issues again........

there is an alternative viewpoint, relating to someone who joins a forum and starts with an oil thread...

Welcome to the forum.

You're going to get in to trouble.............. That's dangerously close to oil thread content:) But, good economic advice
