I always used premium gas and motorcycle oil

Using premium gas shouldn't even be a question. Even an SV650 motor is pretty highly tuned. Plus they get 50+ mpg, why skimp. We used to always put Golden Spectro motor oil ($6.50 qt). Maybe bikes are different today, but in the old days (10 years ago) most bikes shared their engine oil with the gearbox. The story I heard was that motorcycle oil had special additives to hold up to the the shearing forces of the gears in the tranny. Made sense. My experience with Japanese bikes is that the motors are tough, but you should still use the best oil you can afford.
