The oil in the container in the pic you posted Petej is in-fact a semi synthetic oil, it is NOT fully synthetic.
This ‘misinformation’ by Shell, has caused owners of Adler APTC clutch equipped bikes lots of trouble.
People look at Shells price for its ‘Shell Advance Ultra 4T Fully Synthetic’ and then imagine saving money on a less expensive alternative brand.
A fully synthetic oil will negatively effect the APTC clutch in the S2R in various ways i.e. the plates can stick after the bikes been standing resulting in horrendous clunk on engaging first gear. The clutch may slip winding on the power. The plates drag causing nasty jolts going down through the gears.
Shells oil works fine and your safe to use it, others have had good results with semi synthetic alternative brands, but if you put a ‘genuine’ fully synthetic oil in your S2R your in for trouble.
Why the hell Shell call its Advance Ultra a “filly synthetic” when its not, I simply cant understand.
