Try shifting w/o using the clutch..it's like buttah.
Both my Zx14 and my C14 have shifted the same for me whether I use Rotella T6, or MOBIL 1, or any of the others I tried early on.To tell the truth, I tried the Castrol 10-40 motorcycle oil for a couple of changes and it shifted pretty poorly. So bad in fact, I used the last of it in my Ol' lady's bike figuring she wouldn't know the difference.

She didn't.
So, most of my riding is in extreme heat and at high speeds for extended periods. Since I have started riding that way I have ridden only air cooled bikes. No, I didn't decide to get an air cooled bike to ride that way, I had an air cooled bike THEN started riding that way. Crossing the Sonoran Desert at 85+ mph on a 105+ degree day my oil temp was about 265 for 100+ miles at a time. I ran Lucas Synthetic 20-50 exclusively. Would it behoove me to step up to 20-50 and use a synthetic blend or stick to the 15-40 conventional in my Concours?

In the end I decided to go with Rotella. I bought 3 jugs at $38.50 each with a $7 off coupon for each jug. That's a darn good deal!
But 42 is the Answer to the Ultimate Question of Life, The Universe, and Everything.
I used to get that stuff at Wally World for $22. Can't remember what I paid last time but I think about $30.
$47 for a 5L jug at Walmart here
