Ok. lets settle this.
In your opinion, what oil should be used in your motor and why.
I use only fully synthetic as I have been told it has even sized molecules that are better for the motor.
Also, what about additives.
I use 2cool in the motors and they seem to run cooler.
I change my oil every 3 rides and I must say that it is always a dark grey colour with metal fillings on the end of the magnetic drain plug, but i have never had any issues with my motors.

I have, and always will use rotella oils. They are great products at a much lower price then other oils

i use castrol 10w-40, non synthetic it could burn your clutch easier.
and no additives

Honda 4 stroke 10w-40 or Lucas 4stroke oil, just works good for me.

i second honda oil but i use 10w40, and also use lucas oil to, non synthetic, synthetics have a tendency to burn out clutches faster

Burning te cluthes is myth. It is the friction modifiers that do the clutch slippage
