You mean my bike is going to get faster everyday.
If the motor truly does get better with every mile, then I'm seriously contemplating not changing over to synthetic oil until I get 15 or 20k on the odometer. I want the engine to break in as much as possible. (No I'm not trying to change this into an oil thread)
The beauty of this world is that we each get to try things our own ways. I flogged the S10 on my second ride and it would only do 120 mph with the bags on. Now, at just under 10k miles, it will do noticeably better than that. Actually, it would do noticeably better than 120 way back around 4k, that I noticed. (Nevada test track, don't try this on public roads, users may experience side effects, such as euphoria, increased heartbeat, diarrhea and death.) ???
FWIW, when I had the first service done at the dealer, they asked me if I wanted to upgrade to synthetic oil and I said no, preferring to wait a bit longer. When I got the bill, it had written on it that I had refused their recommendation to use synthetic oil. :
As if somehow they were covering their butts for later.

I will change to synthetic oil at the next oil change, (10k), which is just my preference. No scientific data was involved in this post.
