Default Full synthetic from Kawasaki? Should I?

Im reffering to the 100% full synthetic high performance oil they offer. You cant miss it, its black bottle, red label and the oil is bright GREEN.

I have used it for the past 2500 miles but am changing the oil soon and want to know if anyone else has used this oil or if anyone has anything actually bad to say about it.

Ive heard the whole "full synthetic makes your clutch slip" blah blah But i cant believe that. Why would Kawasaki manufacture an oil specifically for this style bike in full synthetic if it was going to cause issues with the clutch.

Anyway, I would like some input on this oil or maybe an oil that other people use and really like.

Thanks.

I have been running Royal Purple Max Cycle for the last 14k mi its great. it dropped my cooling temp by 10 deg. absolutly no issues with it. in fact i just picked up 4 qts and a k&n filter yesterday. so i can change it again

It is dark purple when you poor it in. so it looks a little funny
