You have chosen an EXCELLENT OIL.You should have no problems just warm the bike up good and change oil AS THE MANUAL suggests and you should have many trouble free kms.

Well I have used this oil for a few weeks now and it seems to have been a great choice.

I let the bike reach 2200km's before putting it in (2 oil changes with Motul mineral based oil before that)  as there is talk some synthetics don't allow the engine rings to bed in properly.

And I gotta say bike runs (and starts) really well.

This oil also seems to have reduced (almost eliminated) the "crunch" sound that occurred when I'd shift it into first from neutral after the bike has been started for the first time in a while.

The thicker weight oil seems to have given the bike a slightly deeper tone to the exhaust but this could just be my imagination.
