I was under the impression that they shared distributors, but had different additives, erm, added at that stage.

the only ones I am 100 percent certain would be fine with full synth oil are the olympic bronze and oasis green..... and if it is not broke, don't fix it

Why's that then? What was the change between the earlier and later models?

The simple answer is - we do not know!

Aprilia certainly changed something around 2001/2 ....

Different friction material maybe? Change of clutch component suppliers that Rotax were using?

That would be my guess - though that would normally be accompanied by a change in part number.
The thing is we don't have access to lists of different part numbers for things that have been upgraded and the old part no longer applicable.

i seem to recall some one, with an original black, changing their clutch for a genuine oem aprilia one last year - and the full synth still slipped - also, when folk fitted the barnett clutches, the early bikes still slipped with full synth....

No

..... and diversionary tactics only emphasise the fact that you know the black one would be in for a considerable beating ...........
