But for laymen like me, I only know to look for the label with Jaso ma2, API SM or SN, 15W-50. Other than the oil weight, I don't really know what the other 2 (JASO and API) means other than JASO MA2 is safe for wet clutch. Synthetic or semi depend on how long before I plan to change the oil. But for me, I prefer to change more frequently using semi synthetic then use synthetic for an extensive mileage. Personally i felt how ever good a synthetic, it lost its smoothness by 1000km.
The Motul going on 2000 miles, and has lost no smoothness or shifting ease. I really have liked switching all of my bikes to either the 7100 or 300V, both synthetic and 10W-40.
