Royal purple switch
I made the switch and went with 20/50 Max cycle for now. I have found the bike to be running cooler and don't get as much timming chain rattle on start up.
The rumbeling sound that some of us have noted when the cultch is disingaged is now only heard when I put my ear on the gas tank.
I think the noise is the large cage bearing that is in the clutch hub.
Has anyone made the switch to any outher Syn.oil and found the noise to be decreased buy a large amount and what weight are you talking?
