What is the recommended interval that you can switch to synthetic in all three holes on a new bike please?

 

Most new bikes already come with all three synthetic. You can switch at any interval you wish

 

Thanks 394!

 

They ship the CVOs with syn3 new from the factory so I would say when you want to. I know that alot of guys switch at the 1000 mile service. My mechanic advised against it for his own reasons and he works on a fleet of Police bikes for a living and side work for the rest of us. I know there are alot of posts about oil and everyone has an opinion. I think I'll stick with dino.

 

Immediately.

 

After reading all threads on diffferent sights, dino is best for breakin. Change it at 500. Then Syn at 1000 service. My cvo shipped with syn so I let it go that way with regular changes.

 

Agree.... And keep in mind, the trans comes with gear oil, IMO put a syn gear oil in, amsoil makes a great severe gear oil!

 

I go along with anytime you want.

But here is how I did it.

Dropped the break-in dino oil only at 35 miles, and filled it again with dino. (90 percent of break-in is complete in the first 30 miles)

Oil and filter change at 350 miles. Went to Synthetic.

Changed oil and filter at 1000 miles.

Then regular intervals. For me that's 2500 miles.

 

You really read them all, get outta here. Most builders will suggest break-in with conventional oil, then you can run whatever you want. Now then, what defines break-in is a whole nuther can of worms.

 

I went w/dino and changed it 3 times to a 1000 miles and then once more at 2 K, and then changed over to syn in the crank.
