1st Oil Change

[jljowers]

Not exactly sure where this post should go. Last night I changed the oil in my bike for the first time. I was not sure if the dealer I bought my bike from had done so since it was purchased used. I used Mobil 1 Synthetic 10W40 motorcycle oil due to some of the posts in within other forums and a K & N oil filter. I must say that it was pretty easy and I am thrilled with the results. My bike does seem to shift "easier" than before. Maybe this is all in my head, but I swear that I can tell a difference. ANother difference that I think that I have noticed is the MPH at which I shift gears. It seems that my bike can rev/speed up a little more before a gear change feels or sounds necessary. Especially in the lower gears. Again this may just be my imagination, but I think that there is something to this. Has anybody else noticed any type of change when switching to synthetics for the first time? Or is it along the same lines as "my car seems to go much faster now that I have washed it."
