Mobil 1 4T is not available in Canada, so most dealers use Motul. It's not 
the brand that matters--it's the type of oil. Synthetic 10W-40 motorcycle 
grade.

Mine quit too. There's not much spare wire from the harness to the horn, 
and one of the connectors had pulled off. If you use the Fiamm mounting 
bracket, the spades on the horn need to be pointing straight up to allow 
for suspension and steering movement.

There's a common Honda filter that fits. In fact, it's the same filter--but 
note the cautions expressed on this list about voiding warranty.

If you go the Honda filter route, don't forget to get a new crush washer 
for the oil drain plug.
