Castrol full synthectic made for V-twin bikes. No clutch problems. Oil won't break down-even in alky or race gas engines. Excellent wear. Made for long runs at high temps in air cooled engines (works for liquid cooled also). I also use 2 ounces of Energy Release per quart of oil. ER is amazing! Less wear, more power!

I use Yamalube now. I used to use the semi-syn but I had a clutch go out,kinda, on it. I have recently been hearing alot about Honda HP4, at like $6.50 a quart it better be good. Anyway I was thinking of making the switch.
