They do recommend NOT to use synthetics...and I would not use a true synthetic in mine.
Syn3 is a wannabe partial synthetic. Plus I am using a 25% stronger clutch spring. I don't think I would have given it a try if I was using the 15% stronger spring.
I figured I'd try it and have been happy with it.

took the sporty out today, no problems. .. as a matter of fact its better than when the trick shift was in there.
sportster is like 20x times more fun on back roads that the big lummox. Love my sporty!
Huge problem gentlemen! Had a exhaust stud that refused to back out of the head. The stud was broken off nearly flush with the head; I had drilled the stud and was using an easy out to remove it. I felt something give which I thought was the bolt breaking loose so I continued. Turns out the easy out had broken and now I'm stuck with how to get this easy out and exhaust stud out of the head.
Don't forget that you can also tighten the little star-shaped throttle adjusting screw to your liking.
I remember seeing a post where a guy purchased a little thumb lever for his and it was much easier for him to utilize while riding. I wish I could remember where that was....

I relocated the front turn signals to the lower triple tree clamp. Never did like them on the handlebars.
Today, I scheduled my 1000 mile service. Figured I'd let the dealer do the first one. Hope they get a good look at the bike, because unless something MAJOR happens it probably will be the last time the service department sees the bike. Nothing against them, I just prefer to do my own maintenance.
Pulled the rear cylinder head to take it to a friend to have the broken stud/easy out milled out and retapped. Hopefully have it back this weekend. Decided since I have one pulled off I may as well pull the other and have my cylinders honed by a race shop nearby.
Exhaust heat shields removed and sent off to be stripped and recoated. Rattle can BBQ paint was rubbing off in some spots and just plain atrocious on the front slip on.
Tank off to inspect the PO's wire tuck and make some room to remove some, if not all, of the previously installed 4.5" tank lift. It's kind of cool but seemed a little proud of itself if you know what I mean.
Hopefully the will get the crusty rocker covers cleaned up by the time the exhaust is done.
