I'd use Mobil 1 20W50 motorcycle blend, but there doesn't seem to be a reason to not use Syn3. The prices are similar, and my 2018 is still under the factory warranty for another 9 months.

I've never seen any reason not to use Syn3. Both my 2016 and my 2018 used and using Syn3 from break-in. I ride on the hard side, in all weather, with local summer temps typically around 107f and above. Mostly two-up. Lots of highway slow-downs in the LA area, with hot weather slow going. I do up my change interval to 3k miles in the hot weather. My bike uses very little oil, currently pushing to 19k miles.

Sourced from non-test tube babies (no synthetic for me)

thanks greatly

How much oil you put in has nothing what so ever to do with sumpping. Sumpping s something one does or doe not do. Change your oil and ride. If you are concerned about sumpping is is simple to check.

Walmart 20-50, change every 5000 miles, no issues. Have been running it for years in my last five motorcycles. I was going to say 1-20 bikes but I cannot remember back that far!!!
