Hi Afroberg,
I suspect no reply means that people reckon you could do a search. Numerous threads on oil here.
I, along with many others use Caltex/Chevron Delo 400.
Change it often, my 98 with lesser capacity gets fresh oil every 5 hours or so with no lube problems since I switched from Mobil 1 4T some hundreds of hours ago.
Enjoy the 07 650, I plan on one next year.

Hi Afroberg,
Silkolene Pro 4 is a good one works well at high temp our team used it for years at the I.O.M. TT and short circuit racing excellent results not one engine failure.

I use Delo400 and sometimes synthetic motor oil. Whatever oil you use just change it frequently, like every 5-8 engine hours and you motor should be happy.
6000 miles and 230 engine hours on the my bike and all is well.

other than delo 400 maybe shell ( i think) rotella
both are great heavy duty oils that are used in simi trucks and heavy equipment such as bull dozers. excavators and mining equipment. The change interville I go for in dusty Nevada desert conditions is max 250 miles. Normally 150 miles if I can get home or to a good place to dump the oil and celan the filter. Remember you got just shy of 1 quart.

I've used Shell Rotella, Chevron Delo 400, and Amsoil and I'm back to Chevron Delo 400... I figure I'll stick to the Diesel oils until they change to a formulation we can't use in bikes, when ever that is...
