Default what is the best oil to use?

Just wondering what kind of motor oil you guys use on your bike. I use amsoil 10w-40 I believe it is. I have to look at the container again. It is a full synthetic oil. I heard that the full synthetic oil was not always the best oil to use cause the clutch clould slip. So I just want to hear about the oil you guys use and what do you recomend.

Mobil 1 MX4T .. this stuff is AWESOME! best oil i have ever used.. and the only oil i use for spo65rt bikes and my honda Aquatrax TURBO
with our machines using high rpm most of the time, we need oils that can handle that kind of punishment and not breakdown.

Motul 5100.

This is a topic that can and will go on forever. Don't you remember the topic about Octane Lakota in the "other" forum? Same principle.

Sorry if this is a repeat post. My mechanic just told me that a full synthetic oil was not the best. And if i go from a full synthetic back to regular will that mess up the engine?
