Hello All,
I'm in California, central valley.
Bought a new RT a few weeks ago and just had the run in service.
I absolutely love this bike.
I've been on the fence for several years while riding a Vstrom 1000, which is also an excellent bike though no amount of farkling can give me RT comfort and luxury.
One thing I'm uncomfortable about was looking at the 600 mile service receipt to see they put full synthetic oil in it.
I know about all the oil threads that go many different ways so I'm not trying to start anything new but wondered what others think about that?
Personally I wouldn't have switched to synthetic until maybe 10,000 miles or so...
Anyway, Hello fellow riders...
