Re: Synthetic vs. Regular Motor Oil

Hey folks, Thanks for the replies! Towerworker the bike a little over 32k on it now 10k of which I put on in the last year. I guess I should have been more specific with the "seal leakage", I have small leakages around the front of the engine (alternator belt area) and the base of the cyli...
