If you have a roadie under warranty and you have a mechanical failure during this warranty period the scumbags at Yamaha will void your warranty if they realize you have used anything besides Yamalube and a Yamaha filter in your bike. I love my Road* and loathe its creator.Hope this helps. Filter .... maybe .... especially if you're using one of the car filters that some folks use. Oil ... I highly doubt it .... as long as it meets specs (SAE). Yamaha recommends API Service SE, SF, SG or higher and has a CAUTION against using oils with anti-friciton modifiers.

I use Mobile 1 20/50 MC with a ST filter from Wally World. Insert oil and filter in search for more feed back. All kinds of research on the topic. I would prefer synthetic over Yamilube any day, the motor being air cooled and such and living in Dallas. Post some pics! stick around a great place. Buck 01 RS Dls.

Platinum Boarder Posts: 1914 Re:Yamalube or Full Synthetic?? 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Welcome. I'm in the Mobil 1 V-Twin 20W50 synthetic camp, with the Wal-mart Supertech 7317 filter (made by Champion).   Logged     Earl in Catonsville, MD   The administrator has disabled public write access. #207615 RoadStarRider07 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 67 Re:Yamalube or Full Synthetic?? 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Yamalube actually makes a full synthetic, I've used it in the past, am currently running Amsoil. I plan to keep my bike for many years so I use full synthetic, if I was going to trade it in a couple of years I'd run dino oil.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #207655 Shoshin (User) Junior Boarder Posts: 103 Re:Yamalube or Full Synthetic?? 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I just switched over to Bardahl 20-50 full synthetic. It does quiet the valve train/timing gears etc. I'll probably switch to Mobil1 V Twin synthetic next time though, it's cheaper where I live. How many miles do you guys go on a synthetic? The OM says 4000 miles on dino oil.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #207689 2wheels (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 32 Re:Yamalube or Full Synthetic?? 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I used the Yam oil at 1st; but after complaing about all the engine clatter and hearing from you all. My last oil change was Mobile 1 20w50. I havnt got a chance to even ride it since the change but Im very anxious to see if it really does make a difference. (with the noise) Im confident that the protection will be better though.   Logged     The administrator has disabled public write access. #207717 pastorpapabear (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 37 Re:Yamalube or Full Synthetic?? 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I switched to Lucas and found that it did quiet the "noise" quite a bit. like a lot i use the supertec 7317 from wally world. 35000 without a single problem.   Logged     [img size=150][/img]   The administrator has disabled public write access. #207801 jim0626 (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 393 Re:Yamalube or Full Synthetic?? 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   Amsiol 20 w 50....after a long hot day it will not thin out as much as dino..therefore a quieter motor..   Logged       The administrator has disabled public write access. #207807 buzzsaw (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 21 Re:Yamalube or Full Synthetic?? 4 Months, 3 Weeks ago   I use Shell Rotella T 15-40 dino   Logged     Last Edit: 2009/06/30 09:28 By buzzsaw.   The administrator has disabled public write access. #208708 Big Dawg (User) Senior Boarder Posts: 248 Re:Yamalube or Full Synthetic?? 4 Months, 2 Weeks ago   Getting ready to head out to Wally World.
