... changing from standard oil to synthetic. I realize its a one way switch you can go to it but not back ...

I've heard that statement before. What's the danger if you went back to non-synthetic oil?

Made the mistake of putting 3 full qts in when I did my first oil change to Mobil 1.No big deal just had to drain a little out after I drove it around the block.

Yeah, the Harley stealer did the same thing to me a the 1k, so they don't get my bike no more for notin',
