Complete rubbish. If the syn oil is motorcycle specific, you should have no issues whatsoever. I am running Repsol 10W30 4T Racing Full Syn in my bike since 500mi and not one issue. Runs like a watch.

Others threads on this topic in this forum. Some members have complained about excessive engine noise when running 10W40 viscosity in their bikes. I would stick with the Honda recommended 10W30 oil for winter and summer use.

I would stick with the Honda recommended 10W30 oil for winter and summer use. Some CB1100 manuals (no in US but some other "hotter" countries - Australia? I am not sure)) tell that you can use 10W-40 if you run your motor bike under warmer weather conditions regularly.
