kentfallen: He is totally right on this!
I went to full synthetic oil and my gears started skipping... I'd go from 1st to 2nd and it would drop to neutral..2nd to 3rd didn't really notice as I rode mostly in those two gears (live in a small island, no highways, mostly tarmac with gravel on top) 3rd to 4th gear and it would drop back to 3rd, same as 4th to 5th!
Went back to semi-synthetic oil and the problems were gone!
I've been using Texaco 10w30 semi-synthetic for the past 2 years... haven't had any problems whatsoever!
