on my last oil change I used the mobil 1 instead of the recommended motul oil and I have noticed some "clutch slip" on my 695. wondering if the "non recommended" oil has anything to do with it??? anyone with similar prblm?

"Yelling out of cars, turning your speakers out the window to blast your music onto the street, setting off M-80 firecrackers, firing automatic weapons into the airâ€"these are all well and good. But none of them create a merry atmosphere of insouciance and bonhomie quite like a revving motorcycle.

That's not the same as the MX4T.

The V twin oil is intended and was developed for Harleys that have a separate trans and primary drive.

I don't think the same oil is recommended for the primary case which houses the clutch...I could be wrong.

both are JASO MA rated, basically the same oils except for the viscosity rating. 

"Optimized wet clutch performance."

I don't know why you'd be having clutch slip with Mobil1 VTwin, but of course the clutch could be worn...
