I know this going to start something. But, I need some advice . I am needing to change my oil and filter. When I bought my bike it already had its breakin oil changed. Now,I need to change it and thought about going syn since I use it in my pickup. I joined this site yesterday. And I read alot of great info. :choppersm

Go for it with the synthetic.
Read the section about synthetic oil in my sticky thread...answers to common questions
its a red sticky at the top of the 1300 forum

Synthetic Oils….most use Full Synthetic 5W40 or 10W40.
Just be sure you DO NOT USE energy conserving oil. this will damage the clutch system on the bike. use only oil that meets or exceeds the manufacturers recommendations. again, DO NOT USE energy conserving oil.
