#127100 javawave (User) Over 16776 good days in a row and counting Platinum Boarder Posts: 3108 Re:Going Synthetic on the Road Star 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   I wasnt one of the lucky ones, I didnt notice the bike being quieter when I went to the syn. I had high hopes, but it didnt change mine. Some bikes like it, some don't.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access. #127103 Flashback (Moderator) The devil to pay, and no pitch hot Moderator Posts: 4322 Re:Going Synthetic on the Road Star 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Rayjay wrote: Sure would be nice to add high compression pistons and better valve springs while they was in there!

It's the only one you got. Junior Boarder Posts: 158 Re:Going Synthetic on the Road Star 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   I just did an oil change, with synthetic. Found Mobil 1 at Wallyworld, along with a filter. Have not had a chance to ride yet, as it is raining, but seems to be purring like a kitten, even wagging her tail at me.   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #127147 Pop Rivet (User) Platinum Boarder Posts: 2746 Re:Going Synthetic on the Road Star 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   going to syn oil is what is happening in the V-twin world..

Bike seems quieter than at first, also use a Wal-Mart oil filter. Just don't like the price of the Syn.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #127269 Hotelfox (User) Riding The BIG RED THUNDERCHICKEN!!

I did that.. It was probably the single best thing I did to really improve the sound and spunk of the bike. Other R* riders around here listen to my bike and know something is different, but can't quite figure out what. I had the competition pistons and the competition valve springs put in. My R* is an 01 and most cam makers didn't want to sell me a cam due to reliability issues. Doesn't matter to me, I love the thing the way it is.   Logged     2.5MM Float Assy 170 Main Jet 3rd clip on the needle 2.5 turns out PMS Proud Member of Patriot Guard Riders Hirams Riders M C   The administrator has disabled public write access. #127293 Mrbail1975 (User) mrbail1975 Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:Going Synthetic on the Road Star 1 Month, 2 Weeks ago   Hi everyone I just called the motorcycle deadler that working on my Road Star.

Some think you should use Dino for the break in, others say there is no difference with the ceramic coated cylinders. I am old school. I would leave the Dino in for 600 miles or so, then go to SYN. Buts thats just me.   Logged     \\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"A mind full of judgment has little room for wisdom\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\"   The administrator has disabled public write access.
