Having not yet taken delivery, I don't have any tech info at all. So, can somebody tell me this; does Spyder come delivered with synthetic or petroleum oil? What weight is recommended for the tranny and what is the API code for it?
Do we know anything about the oil filter? What micron filtration level does it have? What does it use as the filtration media?
I've used Amsoil synthetic oils in my Harleys and all other vehicles since 1998. Loved it so much I became a dealer and work only within the motorcycle industry. I need to know this about the Spyder so I can properly advise owners on useage.
Thanks fo your help!

PS - I saw the post from the new owner about getting his Spyder, then discovering that he was at least a quart low - bad service prep. But he'd have been OK if he had driven it only a quart low IF it was running a good quality synthetic. It's certainly not recommended procedure, but the synthetic would have still provided the engine all the protection it needed for a little 70 mile drive.
