Just wondering…

    Does anyone here use synthetic oil in their bikes? I just made the switch (at 2500miles) from good ol dino juice to synthetic and it’s like I have a whole new bike now. It used to shift kinda klunky(08 ninja 250) and was sometimes a pain to downshift from six to one at a stop but now it’s extremely smooth. So for that aspect it seems worth the $9 a quart plus at the dealership I think it’s at least $80 for an oil change. If anyone else uses synth are there any other upsides to it or would regular motorcycle oil be just as good?

    Synthetic oil should always be the way to go. As for an oil change…you shouldn’t have to shell out $80 for an oil change that you could really do yourself.
