Honda recommends 10w-40.
I use Motul 10w-40 full synthetic and it does its job beautifully..

Geesh what's wrong with you guys
I prefer the cheap way out, when I finished making Bacon
take that grease, pour it right on in the F4. Coats her reaaaaaaaaaaaal good.

(JUST KIDDING!) both options these guys choose and grades are good picks,

GO HONDA!

Mobil 1 10-40 does the job just as good as any of that expensive stuff honda recomands. Anybody who wants argue consider this, I have 16k miles on the bike. Oil changed every 3 thousand miles I just took the cams out to measure valve tolerances and there was hardly any wear not even close to the recomended replacement limits.

I have always used Motul 10w-40 full synthetic. Bike has 36,000 miles and still runs like new.

On my 2000 F4 I have recently done a full oil and oil filter change, I used Putoline fullysynthetic 4 stroke 10w/40 along with a K&N oil filter. The oil cost me £29.55 for 4ltrs.

I try and change my oil and filter every 1500 miles or so. You can wait and change it every 3000 miles, also. It just depends on how much riding time versus sitting time. The more the bike sits, the sooner it should be changed, in my opinion.

Would Castrol GTX 10w40 be any good?

GTX is not a synthetic oil. Castrol Syntec is but I would recommend going with Mobil 1 if you are looking for a synthetic that is easily found.

at what milage should a 32k mi bike have before a synthetic change, the bike is most likely running thicker oil because the guy didn't ride it as much. as for me I ride everyday (+7 Hours). The only time the bike is sitting is when I'm at work or at sleep. Also the bike does have a slight ticking sound while it's getting warmed up.
