A straight 90 oil is recommended. (ST90).

We're you expecting a different answer?

Just that i've heard some people say you can use ordinary engine oil. Didn't think it was right.

Questions about oil are normally a cause for heated discussion, for some reason people hold their beliefs on choice of oil more preciously than fanatics hold their religious beliefs.

ST 90 is the no brainer as decreed by the prophet Innocenti.
40/10 the choice of radicals and non believers
auto transmission fluid the blasphemous murmurings of infidel British bikers.

even mentioning options may have earn t me a Fatwa
