Stick with a decent semi-synthetic mate

The fully synthetic can cause the clutch to slip and with the bike not exactly in a high state of tune anyway its an uneccessary waste of money

I have heard of more than one person having problems with thier cluch after putting fully synthetic in thier bike. One of them ended up fitting new cluch plates.

Silcolene Semi- synth in mine every time.
I've been using it for years (over 300,000 miles) in all the bikes I've had and never had any clutch/gearbox problems.
I've tried a few other brands along the way but I still feel it proforms the best.
