What ever oil as long as it isn't fully synthetic..Most of them contain additives that will make you clutch slipper.
You might notice some oils might work better with your engine but utterly any oil will protect you engine.
My own experiences after dozens of oil changes is that the oil that suzuki(or any manufacturer) recommends works just fine and lasts for more than 5000 kms if the use is normal.If you do track days and generally race the engine 5000 kms is just fine to replace the oil.
I was running my own 12 with a busted oil pump for several laps on the track plus the way back home....You would freak out if you would have seen how dark and sticky the oil was when it came out.Still the engine bearings/crank/rods where as new.
So take it easy and buy the brand you like the most!!Hay-abuse-a engines are bullet proof!
