I do it at least twice a season. amsoil full synth or repsol for me plz.

i doubt thats why your shifter is sticking though. probobly has more to do with your linkage arm or something. I suggest kicking your bike really hard.
I run hp4s. The blade did not like repsol

Ask the dealer what they use when they change oil. Use that. That's what I use. The first gen R6s have a 2nd gear problem, this doesn't sound like a 2nd gear issue.

I've been using the Rotella for the past few oil changes but I'm always looking for better stuff. Is the amsoil that much better?

You are just asking for the oil bag of worms to get opened.

Now that we know an Amsoil rep, I'll be using Amsoil exclusively.
