According to the Kawasaki site you should use SE class SAE 10W40, 10W50, 20W40 or 20W50 oil for the engine. You use SAE 10W oil for the front fork.
I run a 10w40 vavoline motorcycle oil JASO standards and have no problems, i change it around 2500 or 3000 miles. Just make sure that is a motorcycle oil with the JASO rating which is made to handle wet clutches.
SOURCE: oil capacity
The oil capacity of a 1996 Kawasaki Vulcan 800 is 2.9L with a filter change, 2.8L without, and 3.1L for a dry engine.

i know the owners manual says sae 10w 40, but i found valvoline motorcycle oil at wal-mart for about $4.00 a quart works really well, it has the additives for all twin and wet clutch. they have it in several viscositys available.
