(he bought it because that what was available at the shop he went to) more mileage on motor oil can only be equated to less parasitic frictional drag in the motor.
Which could be caused by the motor breaking in as blockhead said. We have noticed on the CB's that everything smooths out a bit, shifting gets better and gas mileage goes up around the 2000 mile mark on these engines.
At first I thought it was my imagination but I’ve noticed the suspension getting a bit smoother as well.
