Switching back from synthetic oil to dino

[algunn]

My streetbike has synthetic in it now and is due for an oil change. I have quite a bit of dino oil on hand and am wondering if it is a problem switching back from synthetic?

should not be an issue, the only thing to keep in mind is more frequent changes (every other track day)

Much of the so called synthetics today are really dino anyway.

I don't know where that myth got started (or maybe it was based on some early synthetic issues), but I'm not aware of any oils that would cause an issue when switching during oil changes.

Make sure there are no friction modifiers (usually associated with some car oils). Your clutch doesn't care for them.

It's for my VFR that I run only on the street. I have a couple of gallons of Honda motorcycle oil and want to use it up before shelling out the $$$ for synthetic. Thanks for the help!
