Klotz is a good one to go with, my buddy runs R-50 Klotz in his as 24:1 and runs fantastic.

I will go ahead and throw in my two cents.
I am running an aircooled R as well, and am running Yamalube 2r @32:1. Yamalube 2r is a synthetic blend, and is perfectly fine for running even high demand engines. Supposedly it is what team yamaha runs in all there MX bikes.
We have ran it for years in an FL250 and have not had a single problem out of it. Never had to so much as rebuild a topend in the odyssey either.
However do not use the yamalube 2s, it is crappy injector oil.
