RE: synthetic oil, true or false???
I haven't confirmed this, but the reason I've heard you can not switch back to normal oil after you've used synth for a long period of time is, the synth oil does some thing to the engine gaskets. When you switch back to dino oil, after a while, you're gaskets will be shot. Not sure if it's true it not but that's exactly what happened to the head gaskets in my camaro.

Synthetics have low foaming. Foaming while not good for the engine does reduce noise. I chop and change from synthetic to dino all the time depending on what is on special. Mostly its synthetic, but sometimes my cheap source isn't available and I get dino. With the low intervals the bike doesnt really care which I use.
