Been using Rotella T6 full synthetic in my diesels, dirt motorcycles, SXS’s, power equipment and more for a long time. Great results. I do however mostly use OEM oil filters. Probably not needed but it makes me feel warm and fuzzy!

Another one that uses Shell Rotella T6. I've been using it in all my motorcycles for years and in my Pioneer. I've never had a problem using T6 even on motorcycles that call for 20W-50. An added benefit is that the 5W40 is it does make startling easier in the winter compared to 20W-50.

The main thing is to make sure what ever oil you use meets JASO-MA standards for wet clutches

Yes my metric motorcycles and the Pioneer do shift a bit smoother with full synthetic. On my Harleys, I only use the Rotella T6 in the engine and primary. I use full synthetic gear oil in the tranny since it is separate.

Like I said before, what ever oil you decide to use, make sure that it meets JASO-MA standards. I personally prefer running a full synthetic oil in my engines.
