Hi
Last engine oil change I opted for full synthetic oil 5W/40
I Since read (< 1000 km on) in the Gilera Owners manual that full synthetic might lead to starter clutch slip issues because of its resistance to break-down.
If I am a little skeptical about the full synthetic/starter clutch issue, I would rather not have the problem
Any experience/comment appreciated.
Cheers

Thanks Frank

A motorcycle specific semi-synthetic (JASO MA or MB) should be fine in a Nuovo Saturno. It was in mine with a 558 Nordwest motor.
