In mine when I got it they had filled it with what I believe to be 80w-90 Gear oil, as far as I can tell this actually works just fine for it and doesn´t affect the clutch.

This oil should work from (-15)-(+300) Degrees but is best at 160, although i´m not sure what the standard temp of the head is on this bike.

If you aren´t confident with gear oil though, Mobile one 10w-40 full synthetic is recommended for most bikes
