Yeah...I've used good quality car oil in my motorcycles, even the GSX1400 with no problems. As you said, avoid the friction modified oils in engines with oil bath clutches. With my Burgman is has roller bearing big, small and main bearings and it operates at low oil pressure of course due to simply not having the need for high pressure feed to keep the bearing surfaces apart as with shell bearings. However, in tests we did ages ago, roller bearings and ball both benefit from fully synthetic oil and I intend to switch to Shell Advanced fully Syn motorcycle oil in the Burgman at the first main service at 4k or there abouts. Using fully synthetic also reduces friction in the engine and improves mpg's. And it is just noticeable. Not going to do it before 4k as the cylinder, piston and rings won't have fully finished conforming and fully syn will prevent it from doing so if added too early. I buy all my oil from 'Smith & Allan' on tinternet and fully syn is usually the same price or less than semi syn. Delivery is free. (note: oil prices go up and down so will vary).
