Hi Fred,
Yes I use synthetic oil, because this way I keep it longer than mineral, 8000 kms instead of 6000 kms.
Synthetic is also appropriate in warm weather as summertime..
There is a risk of cluth slip but I only experienced this once when clutch had 80000kms and worn.
I think my "clutch slip" alike problem is solved.
I found a broken link on my chain, making chain slap excessively against swingarm.
The link was bend, probably because something as stone or other got trapped between pinion and link.
It was still useable, though, it would have ended up with chain going off again.
Thanks for the invitatation, I´ll try come service my bike and meet with the dutch tenerists one day, would be fun.
Cheers
Matt
