From what I've read, synthetics were designed to get lubrication to the valve gear, cam bearings & lobes more quickly on a cold start due to their lower viscosity & the contention was this would eliminate cold start wear on these components as your average car engine gets started & driven hard absolutely stone cold
Great ! but what about the rest of the operating range?? I've got a feeling that the internal loads & heat stresses developed in a high power, high RPM bike engine would be more than the your average tin top ??
Regardless, you've got to listen to the blokes who service bike engines on a regular basis & pay attention to their observations & if they don't know, who would ? Forget the sales hype, I'm with Col on this one
