OMFG do our clutch plates LOVE 15W-40.

I'm on oil change N0.4 and No.1 was crap, 2&3 were Honda 4 stroke which happens to be 10W-30, but I decided to try some Shell stuff (not syn of course) and it feels like a different clutch. It was OK before, but now it just grabs and no between gears neutral nonsense either.

Problem is for us Ontario boys we are already at the limits of the temperature range for it, in my opinion anyway. By the time it hits minus 15 or so it will be like a chunk of grease in your crankcase. Maybe swap down to 10W or 5W, probably 5W.

Just thought I'd mention it.
