Your logic is flawed rocksurfer. Don't run synthetic if you weren't before? At what point do you begin using synthetic since you have to start with dyno initially for breakin? I didn't begin running synthetic in my last engine until it was well over 300,000 miles and had led a very hard life, and I saw no downsides and only advantages. I run redline but have a very sound reason for doing so, one which many will likely not agree with.
I personally (and this is merely my opinion) view oil additives the same as I view octane booster. Just buy the right stuff to begin with and quit messing around.
Matt, delo doesn't have some of the same properties as regular oil, right? I know you can get away with running diesel specific oils in bikes with wet clutches cause it is missing something that'll cause a wet clutch to slip if using non-motorcycle oil.
To the op, bottom line, you're asking a question on a forum and will find many different
theories and opinions. Some people do a quick read or get their info elsewhere and will believe it's the gospel. I'd strongly suggest doing some off-bb research and go with that, or just look at the vast options available in the store and buy whichever one looks to suit your needs best
