> [@Avatar](#): > > ^ yaya just change your oil like you should and you don’t need that synthetic. Also, stay away from anything with friction modifiers or other additives as it is bad for the wet clutch. how is that bad?? that additive is in there because the synthetic is to slippery for the clutch. > [@bobbyg1243](#): > > are you serious? the second you start running synthetic in your bike, your asking for problems, especially if you switch from regular to fully. How are you asking for problems? if your bike comes from the factory and says to use syn, then use it cuz thats whats in it, and thats what the shop will put in it. ---

Not a fan of full syn. Had full syn in my ninja and didnt like it. The tranny seemed loud and nochy. Switched to organic and it was like I had a whole new bike. Honestly in my personal oppinion full syn will fry your clutch faster than conventional oil. just my two cents though. ---

Friction modifiers will make your clutch slip and feel like ish edit: "However these friction modifiers can be detrimental to proper wet clutch operation and can cause slippage and other potential performance issues such as “engine start failures, a rough running feel and increased fuel consumption due to higher engine stall speeds”. from - [http://www.smartsynthetics.com/articles/motorcycle\_oil\_technical\_facts.htm](http://www.smartsynthetics.com/articles/motorcycle_oil_technical_facts.htm) ---

rotella syn $13/gal walmart rotella reg $7/gal walmart How can you beat that… I’ve done tons of research on it and will run it for the rest of my life, i’ve put over 20k miles with it in motorcycles and probably another 20k+ in a truck. 0 problems. ---
