Breakin miles

Have a 2006 FLHRCI with 3500 miles on it. Am thinking of running Syn. oil and was wondering if 3500 could be considered "broke in" .

These bikes are still breaking in at 5000 miles, but you are probably 98% there, so synthetic is OK.

I switched to Amsoil 20/50 at 1500 miles. No problems.

I switched to Amsoil 20W/50 at 1,000 miles. My indy told me there wouldn't be a problem doing so. Bike is running great with no issues.

I knew someone would call me on that, need to explain. I have been off the road for 7 years, couldn;t take it anymore. I found this 06 Road King with 3000 miles on it, I made a 300+ mile round trip to claim her. Bad news is, I only had it long enough to put 500 miles on and the weather turned (N/W Montana, Canadian Border). Now I just go into the garage and stare, thinking of next years riding season.......
