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

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.
