When I talked to Barnett's tech line about my Scorpion clutch, they said that Formula + would work just fine. I only have a couple hundred miles on the new clutch.....will have to see how it goes.
From Barnett's F.A.Q.
"Q: Can I use synthetic oil or a synthetic blend with a Barnett clutch?
A: Yes. Barnett clutches are designed to work with any type of “motorcycle specific” oil. We DO NOT recommend the use of automotive oils or additives."

The Wiz recommended Formula + and a bit of ATF mixed in. That's what I did, seems to work fine.
