I was under the impression that you _don't_ want to use an SJ rated oil in a
motorcycle with a wet clutch (engine and tranny share the same lubricant) since
the SJ rated oils have the "extra slippery" additives which improve fuel
economny.  After extended use these additives get impregnated into the clutch
disks causing slippage.

Am I missing something?
