Most of the motorcyclists I know do NOT use motorcycle-specific oil.
What I need to stay away from (with my bike, yours may vary) are oils labeled "Energy Conserving", lest it causes slippage with the wet clutch.
My typical mix is Shell Rotella dino (15W-40) with a quart of 10W-30 (or 5W-30) full synthetic thrown in. Shell Rotella synth (5W-40)on sale would be my preferred, but is hard to find. Walmart might carry it, but that means that I have to shop at Walmart.
