If your carbs are out of sync the bike can make very funny sounds.It causes the engine to run sort of off balance (airflow balance,not actual rotating balance). I would not worry about any funny noises if the carbs have not been synced any time recently.

Some people will say that synthetic can cause leaks in an older engine.personally,I have never had a problem. Shell Rotella T-6 is what a lot of us run around here. it is very good oil and is compatible with the wet-clutch in your bike. It will take the heat and much cheaper than synthetic. I get mine for about $22 a gallon at Wal-Mart
