I have an '06 Yamaha FZ6 with the R6 derived engine. It redlines at 14K so I want to make sure I have a good oil in it.
The Manual recomends 10w30 for temps below 60 F(IIRC) and 20w40 (Yes, that's correct) for hotter climates.
BTW I live in Louisiana so we see 70+ F even in the middle of "winter".
Well, 20w40 is apparently very uncommon but conviniently for the dealers Yamaha Yamalube is one of the only oils available in that weight.
Anyway, on my first OC @780 miles I used Rotella 5w40 Synthetic based on numerous other general reccomendations for bike lubes. Should I stick with this or go with 10w40 M1 or something else.
