Re: Part synthetic oil
I'm not going to go into when you should switch to synthetic. What I will say is don't waste you money on a semi-synthetic oil. Either use conventional or full synthetic oil as semi-syn oils are only about 5 to 8% synthetic.
I say go GI Jane on it! Seriously my wife had hair down to her butt and I loved it, then she cut it and I loved it even move. I say go for it, you can always grow it back if you don't like it.
Oh yeah, Ex-wife now.
^ I have to say I was lucky that it didn't mess it up. I have thrown my back out just moving, not to mention trying to one arm a 400 pound bike up before it hits the ground.:thumbup:
I almost dropped it on it's left side. I was on the right side moving it in the garage, but I was able to stop it about a foot from making contact and pulled it back up.:thumbup:
^I have had it there on two different FZ's over the past 3 1/2 years without any water issues. When I do wash my bike with water which is not often I leave it on the bike.
