I've never used synthetic on a wet clutch. conventional (dino) 10w-40 or rotella 15w-40 (T4) are cheaper...change every 3000 miles and they'll run forever....no slippage. JMO :OhNo;

One thing for sure the synthetic oil made the clutch much grabbier. I also noticed with the synthetic oil If I tried to start the bike in gear with the clutch pulled in the clutch dragged. It doesn't with the dino oil.
