[QUOTE="Auburn, post: 1088212, member: 5661"] Congrats on the new bike. Let the farkling begin! I would follow the break in procedure and get a few thousand miles on to make sure the rings are well seated then switch to your favorite flavor of synthetic. I personally run the Rotella T6 with a little bit if STP added which makes the transmission shift like butter. Many run other things, but at $20 a gallon (which is what an oil change takes) at Wally world, you can't beat the price. I run 5000 mile intervals and if I am on a long trip I'll push past that and not be worried at all. I also change the final drive at the same 5000 mile intervals with Mobil 1 (so I don't forget) at $17 a quart, you get four changes out of it. It is over kill, but it is cheap insurance in IMHO.
