I get my oil info from a chemical engineer who spent 40 years working for a major oil supplier known for their high quality. He analyzed competitors' oils to see what they were up to. Let me sum up his advice:

1: Break in oil--use any brand name dyno oil of the appropriate weight with a motorcycle or wheeler on the label;
2: Cheap "synthetics" aren't synthetic, just extra highly filtered dyno oil, such as Rotella, which is a very high quality dyno oil, better than cheap dyno oils, not as good as real synthetics, and some varieties will lunch your motorcycle engine or clutch--14 different types of Rotella, which one is right 40 your bike?????;
3: Real synthetic oils are specialty products that cost more than Rotella. Again look for the motorcycle or wheeler on the label, than check it meets builders recommendations.
