Question
mike,
  why is it when switching over to full synthetic
 oil your suppose to use semi synthetic first then go full

 labeled 'energy conserving'? or oil SL approved?
           thanks,

Answer
This is somthing new to me, I have never heard of going to semi before going to full synthetic. I have switchedc harleys over to full synethic from oil many times without any problems.
As to the the different oils, you need to check with the manufacture as to why they are saying this
Good luck and happy riding
Mike
