Sorry i'm sure this has been covered before but i cant find anything on it.

Can anyone recommend what oil to use in their nc race bike that works well without any clutch problems.?

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 ;)

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!

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.
