Yes all are full syn. The Rotella T is very cheap but as I said left me disappointed when I saw the internal parts of my motor. Mobil 1 is well priced at Wal-Mart. The amsoil I get mailed to me by a rep. Usually 45 for the oil, filter and shipping. I call him up a week before I plan to do it and...

It could be. That's just what I heard from a Yamaha rep years ago at a SX race. So who knows who makes it now, but unless Yamaha has recently built an oil plant it's not made by them. Truth is, if you get a motorcycle specific oil and change often enough you will be fine. These engines are...

I believe it has to do with the lube they use to seat the tire. Through the process it is common for some to end up on the tire. It takes a few miles to throw it off. 100 is probably conservative but the gold standard.

Yamalube is made by Citgo. Yamaha doesn't make oil. And oil is just a lubricant, manufacturers don't design engines around oil they simply use oil as a lubricant in the engines they build. That being said, I rock amsoil or if i forget to plan ahead I use Mobil 1. I used to use Rotella back in...

I don't have the answer to your question but I love the idea and the headlight. I look forward to seeing if it works and how it turns out!

What an awesome ending to this story. Enjoy the new place and have fun.

I also prefer the shorties. Make sure you try them on before you buy them as sizes are hard to figure out. I wear an xl in a stars and a medium in speed and strength.

I really like the fit of Alpinestars. They are very comfy after they break in, buy them just a little tight. I do feel like they wear out faster then they should for a not so cheap glove. I have always wanted to try Held, Knox or Dainese but just can't part with that much money for gloves. Right...

Much needed new jacket!

Just thought that i should add that i arrived to this diagnosis thanks to ruggybuggy

I had the same problem with HID's that were installed by my bikes previous owner. I swapped the ballasts with new ones and problem solved.

I was looking at this helmet because its made for naked bikes but revzilla has a killer deal on rf1100 close outs right now. How would you compare the two?

I get 4 quarts and a filter shipped to me for around $55

Oil change day

Can you please post up a review of what you thought about this bike in stock form vs the FZ1? I am very curious.
