Only once its FULLY run in, search on google, the basic idea is that you use mineral till the engine is bed in, then switch to synthetic. Using Synthetic before the engine is run in will cause cylinder glazing and issues where the crap that NEEDS to be removed isnt... search for info.

They recommend oil change every 6,000km. The choice of mineral or synthetic appears to be up to you and the depth of your pockets. I'm not convinced there's any point in using top-dollar oil unless you're regularly using the bike near its design limits, eg redlining it regularly. -- Conehead "....uhuh, self flagellation is all to rampart" atec, in aus.cars<!-- ~MESSAGE_AFTER~ --> >> Stay informed about: Suzuki SV650 and Synthetic Oil

I saw (friends bike) an old GPZ 1100 do 150 000 klms with no major work on the donk but it got a 5000 klm oil change with plain ol dino castrol come hell or high water. And he rode it like a race bike everwhere.
