I've always just bought any SAE 90 oil from my local filling station.

When I buy a used bike changing the oils is one of the things I do, It doesn't cost too much and I count it as part of the cost of the bike.. I don't change the final drive oil every year but about every three years.

Disadvantage of the Kaw oil....  It will cost a bunch more than other oil.

Personally, I would stick with a name brand (e.g. Valvoline) synthetic oil.   Reasons: You're only going to do it once in a great while, so synthetic is worth the cost.   A name brand will be as good as Kaw oil (btw they don't make any oil - a name brand packages it for them)

What are the differences of going with the Kaw spec oil vs SAE 90, 75W90, 85-140, dino or synth?
