That makes sense since its a diesel oil.

A lot of people like the diesel oils over the motorcycle specific oil, plus its much cheaper. I paid 16 bucks for 1 gal of full synthentic.

The comment about wet clutches is only partially true. The reason they don't recommend full synthetic with wet clutches is because many of the oils have a energy conservation additives which are not good for the wet clutches. The Rotella T does not have this additive so its fine.

I was leaning towards a wax to begin with because of exactly what you mentioned.
