When I took delivery of my '16 300RR Racing my dealer told me to avoid synthetic oil in the gearbox.
He said that for some unknown reason the gearbox start to shift funny when using synthetic and then false neutrals appear later on.
All the bikes they service they stick to a mineral gearbox oil and they don't have problems.
Can anyone confirm this? I'm not talking about "I love synthetic coz it smells nice and improves my love life" but actually people who have ran either mineral or synthetic for a while in the gearbox with or without any problems.
I do love synthetic oil in engines and have been using it for years with excellent results and reliability for ages. I also know that in some trials bikes like the Gasgas it's not recommended to use synthetic, so I just want to know what the story is with Beta.
