Wow you go out to drive a bus for a few hours and come back to 2 pages of oil debate! :rollin
thanks for the exhaust clamp link got one on the way and a gasket seal, incidentally its cheaper to buy them on their own rather than together on Ebay. ( Take a look at mad4bikes on Ebay if you haven't already-
freepost too)
FWIW think oil is or can be a personal choice, I cant see the sense in paying extra for brandnames as you can check grades/spec etc through labelling.
- as to semi/fully synthetic I've personally always gone down the semi route, partly on grounds of type of use and price.
I'd read about aggressive qualities of fully synth on the Kawasaki forums , if you are going to be regularly racing or thrashing the bike then its maybe worthwhile as you may need to replace parts affected more often anyway. I reckon for road use semi-synth is gonna be plenty good enough.
The Westway stuff would be in contention except they wont ship to my postcode (Highlands & Islands) despite my address being on the mainland which is a personal bugbear of mine - I could get it sent to our Glasgow depot and bring it down on the bus though.
