I dont have a manual for my Kawasaki 07 ZX10R engine

Does anyone know what oil to put in it and should it be semi-synthetic

Thanks, Paul

10W-40 synthetic BIKE oil. Don't used car oil....

Coose is 100% correct.
Car oil isn't designed to cope with the wet clutch by-products in the same way as a bike oil.
