MotorX... best synth?

I think so. I've been using Motul and i've experienced clutch slippage. Talked to a guy at a shop, he said motul, sylkolene, and some other brands have "esther" based lubricants which are too slippery for slipper clutches. He recommended MotorX, some swiss company and so far I LOVE THIS OIL. No clutch slippage, shifts like shit til you get to 180 degrees then shifts like butter. Anyone else wanna debate this with me?

I switched my 88 ZX10 over to Mobile 1 pure synthetic and I find it shifts smoother and I have no slippage issues with the clutch .

Hello I'm swiss....and i work in a swiss kawasaki garage.....and yes we use motorex....yes sorry MotorX could have been a cool name but its a brand designed to appeal to farmers, manufacturing industries, forestry, snowmobiles and whatnot...

Yes the fully and semi synths we use are pretty good, theyre generally not too expensive (relatively speaking) and its the only brand here that has a full and complete line of products for bikers which makes it easy when it comes to ordering oil....generally when the drums in the garage run dry we just pass over the the reception area and pinch a few bottles of oil if we cant be bothered to mount a new drum :p Otherwise motorex is very popular in motorcross in europe.

Im surprised that motul has clutch slippage, you sure whoever you bought it from gave u motul motorcycle oil? its already happened a few times where a dude bought some motul factory line 300 double ester oil and he didnt check and found out he got car racing oil.....expensive mistake at 36 dollars the litre here......
