Default What oil to use for '07 KLX250s?

I tried searching and to my surprise couldn't find anything in regards to what oil to run in our KLX's. It's a used bike and I don't think the oil has been changed in a while. I was wondering what brand and weight to use. Money is not an issue, so Motul, etc. is okay in my book if you guys recommend it for our bikes.

Thanks a ton, bro! Another silly question, but how many quarts does this bike take? I have no clue as to where my father placed the owners manual.

(It was originally his bike but he doesn't ride it anymore, and since I'm bored of my Ninja I just ride and maintain this bike as if it were my own.)

Thank you very much! I really appreciate your guys' help!

I enjoy every moment riding this bike and hope to perform some minor upgrades to it. I'm thinking of eliminating the rear fender, 2-bros exhaust, K&N intake, and Dynojet kit in the near future.

Mobil 1 4T 10w-40
Royal Purple MaxCycle 10w-40

Any motorcycle grade, not automotive oil, will do in a 10w-40 weight.

I use Kawi oil in mine but thinkin to switching to Motul well cuase all the fluides in my car except the coolant is all Motul God i love that stuff. and Tranny they dont sell tranny fluide, infact IDK if they make tranny fluid oh well. but as for Oil yeah its awesom in my car and There Brake fluid Is freaking Amazing.. Guys If ya like Motul in your bike. Try it in your car Trust me its just as good.. and The brake fluid wow just a simple brake fluid change and you will notice the stopping power from conventional brake fluid compared to Motul
