In real terms as long as it's got the correct rating I dont believe there should be any difference ?

i used motul 300v factory oil from demontweeks, slow speed gearchanges are a bit clunky, but flat out the engine feels really sweet and the gearchange is fantastic.

I have a preference for Silkolene. On our 1000 GSXR motors that ran to 13,800 and 200+ hp we ran Silkolene for four years without a single problem in terms of lubrication. For three years we ran their 0-20W which was amazing stuff. It was like water in terms of its consistency and liberated a good chunk of power. For road use one of their Comp 4 ranges will be more than enough.

I use Silkolene Pro Comp in my 06 R1
