I changed to synthetic with my first oil change. You will hear claims to stick with regular until the breakin period. You will also hear people say stick to motorcycle oils cuz they are better. IMO I would switch but you can read posts after posts but you will never get a straight answer. Do what you think is best in the end. Is that clear enough answer, haha.
