First oil change 3 Months, 2 Weeks ago
|
|
|
I just changed the motor oil and the transfer case oil in my Roadie for the first time. It only has 569 miles on it, but I figured that was close enough to 600. I found all the info I needed on how to do it right here on the Clinic. This site is great! I used Mobil 1 V-twin 20w50 synthetic motor oil, a Super Tech 7317 oil filter from Wal-Mart, and Rotella 80w90 transfer case oil, also from Wal-Mart. This site makes everything so easy.

If that was the case Yamaha wouldn't have come out with a 20w50 oil for the cruiser's this year. With that said mine seems to run fine on the 10w40 AmsOil synthetic. But I have also used 20w50 in the past and no problems there. My 03 cents anywho. 
And 2ndyamaha

I did my first at 100 miles to get all the particles out of there.. I have 500miles on her now but I dunno about running synthetic that soon I would have waited until 1000 m at least. 20-50 is what ill run too.

Just changed mine today... Mobil One 20-50 Synthetic; ever since I changed to it, my motorcycle has run as quiet as can be... purrs right along; used to sound like a strip pit loader.
