First off... who makes Yamalube? (I assume it's just a rebranded oil from one of the big oil companies.)
Second, I have a 2009 Yamaha XT660R, it's a big thumper. The US never received this bike, but the engine is the same as the Yamaha Raptor 660 Quad. It's an Italian designed/made 660cc fuel injected single. The bike now has 4000km on it, it's been running Yamalube 10W-40 semi-synthetic. At the next oil change (in another 2500-3000km) I am going to change the oil. Yamaha recommends oil changes every 10,000km, I'm going to do 5000-6000km. I am thinking of using the Motul 300V Double Ester Full Synthetic from now on. Any ideas about this oil if it's a good idea? Or I could use the Motul 7100 Ester Full Synthetic. I would assume the Double Ester is the top dog from Motul.
The local Yamaha dealership also uses Motul for all their services, because they said, Yamalube costs them and their customers too much.
So, any thoughts on the Synthetics from Motul?
