    Oil Change .Question for all you experts ( do or not do)

    that sounds all fine and dandy, but i work in a yamaha dealership and this is straight from our yamaha reps mouth. Like i said i don't necessarily believe that you shouldn't switch back and forth, but yamaha does. Even states in all yamaha owners and service manuals to use yamaha oil, they fall...

If you no longer or didn't purchase Yamaha Y.E.S...

    I recently changed my oil on Saturday before i took a 500 mi. trip this weekend and I switched from Yamaha regular blend 10w40 to Yamaha full synthetic 15w50. I wasn't thinking there was going to be much difference but figured since I work at a Yamaha shop and get a discount i'd switch over. I...

I agree though, once you get the lever and set it where you like it that is pretty much the...

I bought mine from the Yamaha shop that I work at but many brands have the same levers that probably come from the same factory. so...
