The Halfords one I posted was mineral not synthetic

Worth a look. It supports the view that the oils are not specific to motorcycles, but principally marketing and cost position.
That claim of "not using friction modifiers" it's never stated what these mystical elements are. Oil itself is the biggest friction modifier of all ( and that's why we use it) these designs choose to run the clutch saturated in it!

I'm sure Iv posted it on here in the past I once spoke to a sales rep from Castrol about bike oil and he told me its all advertising blurb to confuse the customer into buying a more expensive product.
I for one will carry on using car oils in my bikes.
Why some bikes suffer clutch slip on certain oils is any ones guess.

I use 10-40 semi sinthetic from Eurocarparts
the 500 is up to 65k miles,uses a little oil,but runs well,
lovely light clutch and no hint of slippage
