"New" Rotella T6 5W-40 clutch slips

[jbird24]

I'd try the Dino version of Shell Rotella first.... easy to do, and cheap. Or try the dino 4T oil comes in a 4.2 liter jug.

Whats Dino mean

From Wikipedia:

"The JASO T904-MA and MA2 standards are designed to distinguish oils that are approved for wet clutch use, and the JASO T904-MB standard is not suitable for wet clutch use."

The Rotella is rated JASO MA.

So jaso MA/MA2 are good to use? thanks

Ive had no issues with the T4, after 500miles, and for the previous 70k miles I only ran honda gn4 10w40

If I changed my oil, even GN4, every 500 miles, I doubt I would have any problems. Environmentalists and my banker would, but the bike not so much.

Dinosaurs, meaning crude oil rather than synthetic.

Good for wet clutches, yes. Energy-saving oil is bad for wet clutches.
