2 in 1 sewing machine oil would suffice

Some 600 have issue with the clutch slipping and burning up real quick with the use of full synthetic oil, I would use a 50/50 blend

I use motol 5100 in both my zx9s which are 02 models,ones done 193,000 the other just a tick over 70,000 and only just replaced the clutch on the older one at about 190,000

Motul 5100 fully synthetic?

Motul 5100 is a semi-synth mate. It will be perfect for your 600.

7100 is full synthetic,both oils are great but with full synthetic you can run a 'thinner' oil witch will make more power from less friction as it doesn't break down like the other style of oils.

I'm running Motul 5100 in a 2010 ZX6R, no probs at all!

Glenn at Allfixed recommends Motul.
