Got castrol power 1 fully synth in the nc and fzr never had any clutch problem but there road bikes, i think the clutch slip thing is a bit of a myth nowadays and the modern synth bike oils are ok, just dont stick car stuff in it!!!!!

Or just buy the HG stuff, it's exactly the same
Conventional wisdom says to know your limits. To know your limits you need to find them first. Finding your limits generally involves getting in over your head and hoping you live long enough to benefit from the experience. That's the fun part.

Re: What engine oil.?
No, HG survived going into admin, although several branches found out they were closing when a lorry turned up with boxes for the stuff to be put in - the branch managers weren't even told by the head office!! Not a nice way to end!

Re: What engine oil.?
i had been using castrol power 1 racing 10w40 then changed to 10w30.
only time ive had issues with clutch slip was race 2 on easter monday, but ive never replaced the clutch plates from i started racing the bike at the end of 2007.
