I did a search but couldn't find the right thread with the info!
Anyway, thanks Dave.
Now all get your tin hats on........I'm sure there are more tedious questions on the way in the near future!!

If you like, ask if its normal for the bike to use oil, and then argue about the grade of oil and suitability of it in a bmw, that always winds them up!

....and I'm thinking Sir is showing a little too much interest in the 1200 forum, for a casual observer....
Any news you'd like to give us?

I managed to find some other threads where 'Newbs' had asked the same question, and were subsequently hung drawn and quartered

Wouldn't it have been easier to open your owner's handbook and read it straight off the page?

Was wondering if the experts in here had a preference to another particular kind of oil....
Hi Stevie and welcome to the Forum.
That "Q" gets a lot of peoples hackles up.
The answer you got was correct, Castrol [or any other superior 20/50 non synthetic]
But Definitely NOT Duckhams crap
And You Mr Kelly, get back to your drinking, I have got another bike and it's an AIRHEAD

Dont worry Steve, its not a forum where you are allowed to ask a question that has been asked previously even if you can find it in the search option.
I use a nice 20/50 from halfords.

OK I get the gist
Perhaps a note in the 'New members, please read here before posting' thread on what not to ask, especially if it's different from what you were wondering but weren't aware, would be a good idea...
Now then....tyre pressures...

You sir are going to fit in here very well
"Be prepared and give as you receive" is the motto
1200 owners
are normally thin skinned 
, unlike me whose newest bike is 1988 and oldest 1952I just tell 'em to PISS right off
Silly old fart.
Read the Manual - but 10W40 if its a bit chilly or 20W50 if it is a bit hot.
