I used T6 in my 07 Nomad(88,000 miles) and my wifes 900LT(53,000 miles).
Now I use it in my 08 Nomad with 34,000 miles so far.
Change it and filter every 5,000 miles.
No problems what so ever, just run what you like and change it when you like

He might have added all his Km's of all his bikes starting from his 1999 Drifter.

Just sayin'
I have nowhere near that kinda mileage, I presume that is the total milage from a number of bikes. I too have used kawa synthetic since the first break in oil change though and have no issues, nor can I tell any difference as the miles pile up on an oil change. Yes it costs more, but I personally will not try something different to save a buck.

I used the Kawasaki Full Synthetic the oil change before last. I had a $100 gift card from a dealer. It did well the entire 5000 miles. Wonder who makes this for Kawasaki? That's the only time I ever used it and I was happy with it, I would use it again.
