Cool Went synthetic on my Yamaha V-Max 1200 V-4 motorcycle

After the 3,000 mile break in period...and have 1,000 more miles now...no (wet) clutch problems... this supposed "wet clutch" slippage with synthetic oils may depend on what materials are used in a specific clutch. Mine seems fine...but I don't drag race it either, maybe it would give out sooner with synthetic...don't know.

Lubrecon: Where's the beef?
