Havent hit the 600 mile mark yet. Wondering what oil you guys are using. I have been using maxum oil on my other bikes. And what about the weight. Got the service manual and its recommending 10 40 or 20 50. The 50 weight wouldnt be bad here in hawaii cause its doesnt get cold. Trying to see what everybody here is using.

Maxima is popular

good write ups. i've seen the break in secrets before and was trying to find it. i always put a good load on my engine the first 600 miles just not too exagerated or for a long time. I think i'm gonna go with 10w40.

20w-50 for me but I'm in Mobile, AL and the oil I get is at the dealer(yamalube?)

20-50W Yamalube from the dealer. They recommended not using synthetic until the next change, but who knows.

Repsol 10w-40 100% syn. :bike:
