Good question, anybody running synthetic in one of these bikes?  I want to but kinda of weary of what it might do to the seals.

I forget, Piute, are you running some type of synthetic oil?  The synthetics won't break down until the temperature gets up to 400 F, however, the seals, and gaskets, will still be damaged by anything over 250 F.  The synthetics will avoid carbon sludge, and they will function as a lubricant, and coolant, while the dino oils are just falling apart...  Thanks for the details on temperatures.  Data makes all the difference.  Cheers!
