		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?
