hi all, well i just installed my new seats, went with the ultamate, and installed my new lowers last night at about 2100 hrs. now if this heat in phoenix az. will cool down ( 114 today ) i will try sat moning to try them out, if any one out there is in or arond phx. lets have soom coffee ( or whatever ) i try to go to the star meetings when i can (chapter 113 ) . so when is a time to start thinking of synthetic oil on a new bike, and is it all that good. Was told tht if you change oil every 3000 miles that it dont make a lot of differance. thanks in advance for all your help.

You can change to syn whenever you feel like doing it. I'm guessing that will be when it cools down to like 95.  You don't want to use any oil that says "Energy conserving" in the API donut on the label. That oil has friction modifiers that will toast the clutch. Some people say you have to use motorcycle specific oil. Others use car oil. Your call on that. But go with a known brand. No money saved in ruining a motor using junk oil. Changing it at 3000 miles is a little soon IMO. Do a search here for oil and start reading. You'll get lots of opinions on what works.

I've changed my synthetic twice in the first 3000 miles. But that was just once every 5 years.

Is there any truth to the statement that once you go synthetic you can't (or shouldn't) go back? Thought about going synthetic in the cage; almost 150k miles.
