None of those oils are any good in the long term. Use Oil Of Olay to combat signs of aging and keep you engine looking young.

For whoever said GTX, forget it. I overheated & blew a engine on that crap (AFM roadrace Sears Point on a hot day.). Every (cam/crank) journal in that engine was destroyed. Engine turned into slag...every bearing shot. I was dumbfounded how bad it was...
Been using synthetic oils (mobil-1) ever since & no problems...

the jaso ma is no friction modifyers that may allow the clutch slip. i think all bikes manuals call for the jaso ma. though do what you want. older oil codes are better cause they took out all the good stuffi think sg or older has the zink and other stuff. just what the oil and engine builders say.
someone had a post about running car synthetic oil it was so slick it seemed to run off stuff and when letting the bike sit for a month it had the crank knock till oil pressure came up. to me it makes sence. we put mobile 1 syn 15w40 in a higher milage honda and the clutch started slipping a bit and oil leaks at the valve cover. next oil change you could woop on it and it stopped slipping. this is just what i herd and seen on our bikes.
just my input.
