[QUOTE="slick001, post: 149174, member: 3213"] Oops! leave it up to a FNG to start a "synthetic vs regular oil" debate. The main reason I was considering switching to synthetic is if their really is an advantage in the shifting gears. Not that I am having any problems, just wanting to do what is best for the bike. I don't mind taking the time to do more frequent oil changes with the regular motorcycle oil, but if there is a proven advantage to synthetic, be it smoother shifting, or just better lubrication, then that is the route I will go. To be hones with you, I never have put synthetic in any of my engines, and never had the first problem. But with all the hype about synthetic over the last few years, I was thinking maybe there is something to it??? :unsure: [/QUOTE]
