Synthetic Oil and a Fuel filter; Installed
I swtiched over to Castrol Syntec 10w40 Full-Synthetic oil this afternoon.
I then went for a 40 minute ride over Dug Gap Mountain and down through Mill Creek valley before heading back home. I must say that I am pretty pleased with the results. I believe it was Badbob who mentioned the most noticeable difference being in the way the bike shifts. I'll have to agree with that statement, as the action required to shift seems much lighter and there is no longer the usual "CLUNK" that comes when each gears shifts. Also, the bike seems to spool up easier. This might just be because I also adjusted my throttle play and loosened the throttle to allow for easier rotation. I think my bar ends have been on too tight. As far as the fuel filter is concerned, there is no difference to be felt and I didn't expect one. The only thing a fuel filter does is offer a second layer of protection before the gas enters the carb. It was a straight-forward install and I'll even post a write up for those interested.
