Not trying to hijack the thread or anything, but anyone that is using Syn3 in their bikes. Do you guys use the same in all three holes? If not what are you doing or what do you suggest, I'm just about ready to do the 1000 mile service and switching to synthetic for sure.

I dont see anyway that a synthetic oil could cause a vibration,now I have allways used amsoil but have also used syn3 no complaints on either...now could it be some foreign material got into the engine during the long winter? I dont have that problem down here we ride year round...

I use and have had very good results using Crisco in the crankcase and what ever peanut oil that is on sale in the other two holes.

It never fails that someone, somewhere will find fault with every product on this planet.I for one have using synthetics for over 30 yrs andNEVER have EVER heard of something as rediculous as this.Have that mechanic see if he can explain this one to make any sense.Amsoil certainly would get a real kick out it.
