I have heard mixed things about using full synthetic right off the line. People seem to tell me that a blend is better for the first 3000ish miles because something on the bike needs more time to break in. Its a 2009 gsxr 750 and the bike is used just for luxury purposes, half stop and go traffic, half highway. Just wondering everyones opinions, before I get the service done friday.
Thanks,
Chrs

Why is this in the Pit Area?

[Kurlon]

Many bikes ship with full syn right from the factory now. (Duc's for example.)

Just change it with the normal oil at regular intervals and beat it you will be fine...and do it your self its a 10 min job....and get a new crush ring also. I just did mine today...

Stay with petroleum oil until about 3000 miles or so and then switch over to semi or full synthetic.

I hear full synthetic can give clutch issues. I use semi-synthetic, but used regular oil till I hit about 16k miles

[Kurlon]

It's not full synth that pisses off clutches, it's 'energy conserving' oils with additives that have the potential to cause slipping.

Three things that should never be discussed on the internet. Politics, religion and motor oil.

Using that for the first time... Damn good stuff at a damn good price!

Break-in is the last step in the manufacturing process. Use regular oil until 3kmi. First change at 500, second at 1000, third at 3k. After that use whatever you like.
