Maxima Caster 927 was developed in conjunction with Maxima/Roger DeCoster Team Suzuki for Ricky Carmicheal when he was still racing his RM250 2 stroke. I ran Maxima Super M since the 80's. I have recently switched to Maxima Caster 927 since it was the latest and greatest. The bean oil has superior ring seal and lubrication under high temps. It has never failed me. I believe it's a great blend and great oil.

There are alot of good oils out there but you have to run the ratio at the oil companys recommend ratios.

Maxima Castor 927 has been around for more than 20 years, long before Ricky was even thinking about riding a 250.

I've run 927 in bikes since before Ricky was in diapers. Don't know where you heard that it was developed for him...
Also in kips land the 927 gunks them up.
927 also will separate in cold weather and in many race fuels (low specific gravity). It's a great oil just need to know what your dealing with.
I also don't trust oil manufacture recommendations. How do they know what I'm runnig it in? Bly low rpm trials bike has different oiling requirements than a screaming banshee. (amsoil 100:1 comes to mind. scary)
