If one were to switch to a synthetic, would this significantly increase the risk of more leaks?

<DIV></DIV>>Most 15W50, 5W50 and 20W50 synthetic oils have pour points of
-40f to
<DIV></DIV>>-50f. Most conventional 5W20, 5W30 and 10W30s have pour points
of around
<DIV></DIV>>-25f.
<DIV></DIV>>So if you opt to synthetic, you can choose any weight oil you
want and
<DIV></DIV>>still have a bike that will crank easier than a 5W30
conventional.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>Now if you go with a synthetic 5W30 you can get down to -70f
pour
<DIV></DIV>>points.
<DIV></DIV>>
<DIV></DIV>>My Guzzis will crank almost normal speed and fire right up even
at -20f
<DIV></DIV>>with a synthetic 15W50.
