Ready for first oil change...as usual everyone has a different opinion...going for 10-50 Fully Synthetic...unless anyone knows different ?...clutch slip anyone ?. Image
i've been wondering too..

Raised and born in the semi synth often changed world
Not just me then...Im a mineral oil changed every couple of thousand miles man...I seem to get a noisier motor whenever I try a full synthetic...or clutch slip...or both...
and the Semi I dont understand...surely you want either the good old mineral or the modern Full Synthetic...why would anyone want a "semi" anything ? ...
KTM recommend fully synth. Mine has Putoline 10/60 in. Done 1 track day on it so far and haven't had any clutch probs.

I went to the Shell Rotella T in all my bikes a few months back. So far, so good. I am using the synthetic in them all after the first 2500-5000 miles. I'm not the expert, by any stretch, but I've heard good things. We'll see.
Now that the oil thing is settled....
Thanks for the picture. Man that R looks fine!!
