It sure beats that burning oil/ burning electrical insulation smell you get from an old bike !

I'm curious to know you reason for having conventional oil in the bike during break in.
My guess is that synthetic oil is a little TOO effective at lubricating the engine in it's early stages of break in which prevents the cylinder walls and rings from being "scored' sufficiently. I have heard from many sources that synthetic oil should be left till after the engine is correctly broken in.
