I just had my fist service (600 mile) is it ok to swith to a synthetic oil on my next oil change?

I prefer a Semi Synthetic, since I'm not racing on the track. Motorex 4T 10-40 in my Gixxer every 3000 miles. Never a trace of worn material on my drain plug and it always holds up well.

Motul was a sponsor of mine for many years. I have cases of Motul from 2T racing to 4T racing in Synthetic along with varous gearbox oils in Synthetic.
Even if they did not give me the stuff I would still use it as I believe it to be the best motocycle lubricant on the planet.

I have a case of royal purple that I use in my truck. Should I also use it in my Bike for my 2nd oil change? The dealer did my first service, but I plan on doing the oil changes myself. Also does anyone know of any good stands? and where to get them for the best price and quality? Thanks for your help.

See? Told ya!

I also used Motul in my racebikes. Semi and full synthetics. My sponsor was my wallet. It was usually empty. On the street, I just change my oil once and a while and use Castrol 20-50 dino oil.

- Nut

Nutella Commercial:

"Hey . . . you got oil on my gasket!"
"Hey . . . you got gasket in my oil!"

Both together, "Mmm-mmmm good!"
