Good advice. I always let my bike warm to the point of the rear head being warm to the touch.

That usually doesn't take too long as all of the EPA required equipment mysteriously disappeared.

I believe that if you can use synthetic oil (meaning no leaks) you should use it. There's no doubt in my mind that it's superior to regular oil.

To the OP: If I was you I would give synth oil a try and monitor the situation. You can always go back to dino oil, but if you never give synth a shot you might be missing out on something really good.

Hey, I like the way you think.
