A lot of people are passionate about oil!
I use diesel engine oil in my bikes. Of the various types I've run, only Rotella has the rating for wet clutches, but I don't think that matters because oils like these don't have friction modifiers.

Do your vetting on the T5, I can’t find a JASO MA rating on it. The T4 &T6 are

Castrol makes a motorcycle specific 10W-40 conventional oil. I've used it for 43 years in my KZ. Canadian Tire carries it:
www.canadiantire.ca/en/pdp/castrol-grand...ml-0281827p.html#plp
It's JASO MA2 rated.
Back in the saddle and loving it! KZ1000A1

Not even sure I know enough about this to comment, but I thought our wet clutch bikes needed JASO MA
www.oilspecifications.org/jaso.php
the T5 is rated JASO DH-2. Someone more knowledgeable might be able to give us the skinny.

Like I said I know just enough to get in trouble, but researching it appears the T5 synthetic 10-30 only has a JASO DH-2 approval. The 15-40 has no JASO approval. The T5 ultra synthetic also has no JASO approval.
like I said do your vetting. Don’t blindly run out and buy the T5.
