+1 on the golden spectro, its all ill run. I havent used the lucas yet. But ive heard good things so i probably will eventually. But ive always used blended synthetic in my bike a half a quart over. and its still running strong. It does suck for an oil change to cost over 40$ with the filter, but its worth it for the life of your engine.

If your clutch is slipping it either needs adjustment or you need a new clutch.

Re: what kind of oil

Yep Amsoil Is Good **** They Make A Special Blend For Sport Bikes Full Synthetic. And The Clutches Grab The Same Both Syn And Non Syn Have The Same Friction Modifier Added Into The Oil For Wet Clutch Applications.

P.s I Work For Chevron
