It is a semi-synth yup.
Depends whether it's Castrol Power1 Racing 4T or Castrol Power1 GPS 4T. The latter is Semi (and recommended) - the former might give clutch
slip, and cost more

Never had a problem with fully synth and clutch slip in the R1, but guess its not working as hard as in a BEC, despite getting thrashed to within an
inch of its life.
