I, like so many of you, have 4 strokes along with my 2 strokes and oil for the 4 stroke bikes can get very expensive, so I started using Shell Rotella T, which is approved for motorcycles with wet clutches.

I don't ride some of my 4 strokes very much so instead of the full synthetic that I normally use, this time I bought semi-synthetic at Wally-World, 1 gallon for a little less than $13.00.

Just an FYI.

That's what I've been using and it's great oil

That is what I use in my 4 strokes. It is a good semi-synth and does not have a bad affect on clutch operation. I have used it on 4 bikes without any problems.
