I bought Penzoil motorcycle oil 20w40 the other day. As long as it is rated for motorcycles. DO not use car oil!

I heard its a pain in the ass on harley's... but this isn't a harley... so... I'm assuming its very similar on sport bikes, so if one of you guys could give me an over view I would appreciate it.
