As a long time believer/user of synthetics in motorcycles I don't agree.
However never had a temp gauge on a bike. I do know that my Yamaha XS750D triple would try to sieze up at a stop sign with regular oil in it once I hung a hack on it. Went to an oil cooler and synthetic and no longer had that problem. rode over 30k with it. My first wife bought a XS550 which I changed to synthetic on 1st change, then had to readjust the idle lower at least 3 times, one time it was cranking 2800rpm. After divorcee she said aint running no stinking high priced synthetic so readjusted the idle every time I picked the kids up as it wouldn't run. Bought a XJ1100J hung the biggest production hack not it. Ran synthetic in it and readjusted the idle speed until it settled out. top speed was over 130 bare or 80 with the hack. Drove it to Minn and back with the throttle wide open at 75-80 mph for hours on end. Finally quit riding to put my wife thru college.
Synthetic is all I run in air cooled or water cooled. Cheap for the results I have gotten. My Oliver 1650D starts a lot better with synthetic. A lot of guys on the Oliver board recomend synthetic for the diesels in cold climates.
