Way back in the day when I worked at a dealership we picked up a cheap purple oil for break in. This was in the early 80's. Nothing special, just a good cheap oil that was going to be tossed in a few hundred miles then a better* oil put in. Back then we knew enough about synthetic and syn-blends that they did not allow parts to properly break in/seat in so you wanted to avoid them for the break in period.

*Better oil as defined by us or the owner of the bike. Smile
