Anyone have opinions on which is better for a motocycle?
I have heard that synthetic oil can cause clutch slippage, and is not a good choice.

What about the brand names, meaning which manufacturer has the best product?

I mentioned this once, but you didn't read, and I'm not surprised! :D

I'll give you the 'clue' again...

I personally use Valvoline Dura Blend (Semi-Synthetic) in my truck...180,000 miles and no problems. Although they do say if you have an oil leak it will make it worse due to the higher viscocity.

I forgot about the "Semi-Synthetics"...

Now that adds more choices.

I use Amsoil 20w50 V-Twin motorcycle oil in our bike('04 Electra Glide Classic) and never had any problems. I use 75w90 in the transmission and the 20w50 in the primary.

Some people report good results with Mobil 15w50. What you have to be careful with is there are some oils that have additives which will cause problems(i.e. slippage) if used in primary.
