Mr High Mileage Micky has only ever used Putoline in his 800, he swears by it. His bike has done 130k or some such mental miles, and still pulls like a train.

What he said. Don't over-think it. Get on line, go into a shop or whatever and get something that meets the spec. If you have a preference for brand get that one, if not get the cheapest. Don't over think it.
