It's the stuff that's got no detail in the parameters that's important.
HTHS >3.5, while the KV100 is a number, 23.4...is the KV IS 23.4, then it's shear stability is horrid, the HTHS should be 6 for a reasonable oil that "needs" a 23.4 KV100.
Pour point says they've used lots of low visc stuff, and they don't give a flashpoint except >200C, which you can get with just about anything.
Rotella T6 "offers" better protection, that being HTHS, and low temperature pumpability, and viscosity.
M1V-Twin would kill it in high temperature protection.
If you want something more exotic, then Amsoil MCV.
Ok sounds like great advice to me! I have 3 bikes. Using the same oil in all of them has its advantages so the shell T6 really sounds like a great option that'll get me that advantage. Just a little concerned about it not being a 50 weight for the KTM, even though HTHS is greater than motorex's 50 weight.
