I used shell fully synthetic in 2011 and at the end of the year my rebuild cost loads, all the bearings were burned, the engine was pretty much fcuked, I was told that the oil was to blame, not up to racing, and to use putolin 15/50 semi-synthetic.

I'm sure motogp bikes will be on fully synthetic same as every F1 car, still they don't have to cope with 53 bhp.

I'm sure that MotoGP teams don't buy their oil off ebay either!

Are you sure it's Fully Synthetic, only Advance comes in both fully and semi, with exactly the same packaging and tiny writing showing the difference!
