Hi All, I'm settled in for a long winter without riding. I have a question on oils and winter storage.

Months ago I winterized my bike much the way it's described throughout this thread. This included changing the oil and filter. In the spring I'll replace both but I'll switch to synthetic oil (I put 5000km on it the first year.)

My question is about next years storage. If you are running synthetic oil do you use synthetic for the winter storage or go back to regular oil? I know there is a small debate on the whole clean oil just for storage thing but it seems like pretty cheap insurance to me. However if you're running synthetic and use that over the winter that's a little more expensive.

What do you synthetic users do for winter with your oil?
