Synthetic in Raptor?
#2
Yes you can. You just need to make sure that the oil does not contain friction modifiers. Synthetic motorcycle oils that are wet clutch compatible (ie. no friction modifiers) work great. After breaking in my raptor I changed the oil and used non-synthetic oil. The second oil change is when I went with synthetic 10W40 AMSOIL. I have about 15 hrs on the bike with the synthetic...everything is great. I think others like Maxima and Motul also make synthetic oils that are wet clutch compatible but AMSOIL was the cheapest that I found.
Synthetic motor oils for cars should not be used. I believe they all contain friction modifiers (apparently if the oil is labeled as being "Energy Conserving" then it contains friction modifiers).
