As "they" explained, "this bike typically takes a longer time for tolerances to bed in".
This is an air/oil-cooled motor, the pistons move opposite each other and the cylinders are horizontal (that should indicate the marquee and it's foibles [emoji846])
Thanks for the feedback, off to get Repsol m/cycle oil in prep for the (dreaded!) end of season oil change!
(Going for the 10W-40 mineral as the dealer has advised to wait for the 30K km mark before switching to synthetic)
Apologies, did not mean to start the dreaded oil thread, this question is more about an oil brand than the tech specs of an oil - I have not seen Repsol in the market as much as say, Motul and I am curious as to the experience with Repsol.
