Shell Rotella T Full Synthetic on a sports bike?

[wantin150]

I am running Rotella 5W40 in my 07 Yamaha YZF600R. Starts faster than the 15W40 in there before. Don't have many miles on the oil and don't plan to do a UOA so can't help ya there. Will probably only run it until the weather warms up a bit.

Running Rotella 15w40 in my Suzuki Boulevard C50. It's either that or the Delo, whatever I can find at the moment. I've had no issues with either.

Well I have almost 40K on my 2001 zx6r, three quarters of that I have used Rotella 15w40. No problems at all runs and shifts great.

FWIW, I sold my 01 Aprilia RSVR with 43k miles on it. I bought it with less than 9k miles.

I've used mostly rotella 5w-40. I don't ride in very hot temperatures
I also tried motorex 15-50 and 10-60. they actually lessen shift effort.

please do not fill it to the top line. this is a dry sump engine. too much oil will also slow the drain from the head and you end up with alot of oil in the airbox from the PCV system.

I've had zero clutch issues other than the difficulty getting neutral when cold.
