A road bike I'd say a straight 10-40w semi syth oil to avoid clutch slip, but a race bike is different ... obviously.

Im using Yamalube 10 40 semi synth. in my 3tj 600 conversion that i use for track days. Im told its made by motul. I use semi instead of fully synth as i have had clutch slip problems in the past!

Im trying to do a deal with Morris for their semi-synthetic as i use their oils for work.

That shell oil sounds vey good though, i also use wurth at work so will be giving the rep a call 1st thing!

The highest tuned engine has: balanced/lightened crank, skimmed crank cases, skimmed barrel base, kent cams, gas flowed/ported head, triple angle seats, ram air, bdk system ect ect
