Which motorbike engine oil?

I need to top up my engine oil as the dip stick is showing it's running low (4 stroke 125cc) however i'm stuck as to which to use. It's a chinese import so the manual is a bit unclear, all it says is to use a multi degree luboil with a graph underneath.
I've been suggested to use 10w-40 part synthetic as i'm told it will mix with either synthetic or mineral oil.

10w-40 partially synth will be fine

Thanks for the reply

Hows the KTM? I imagine that would be a lot of fun!

If you're not sure just drain it all out and fill it from empty, they don't take a huge amount anyway

Good point!

$loth - "a lot of fun" doesn't even come close
