Have enyone god expiriens with other oil?

	I use Castrol TS full syntetic. My baby made 5000 km since the last time the oil was changed (3 months) and is not buned at all. The oil level is good. I've checked it this weekend after a trip of 300 km with a friend driving his CBR 900 RR. My friend's bike is 22000 km and burned a lot of oil. Mybe I'll use Mobil one next time: is easier to find.

    One question to you all: Is the gear box softer or harder with full syntetic motor oil? I'd never used mineral oil, but some folks told me the gear box is softer with it.

P.S.: Why not a @-meeting in Lisbon? You could visit EXPO98. It's very interesting.
