more about synthetics...
Oh by the way,
I forgot to add in my previous post... I have used only premium synthetic oils in my bike since I have had it. I have used Amsoil, Royal Purple, and the Castrol Syntec... Listen to Hink... I have almost 33,000 miles on my 2007 LE. I change the oil and filter about every 4,000 to 5,000 miles, just as it gets to be a shade or two darker than the original burn in color. (you know, do the oil change, run the bike and let it warm up. Then add to the level required. Check that color, change when just a bit darker, but don't wait until BLACK)... I have the original clutch still in, but am about to install the Cycle House Clutch. It shudders a bit, but still pulls well... Hope all of you have as much luck, driven by aggressive servicing, as I have enjoyed with mine...
