Once my new FZ1N is run in am thinking what type of oil should i run ? Full Synthetic or Semi Synthetic ?

i have always used semi syn in my bikes & changed both oil & oil filter every 3000km or approx 1700miles , but is it required that one should run Full syn oils in a R1 based engine of the 2008 model FZ1N ? . also once you use full syn oil , theres no turning back to using semi syn is there ? whats your opinion or what are you using in your R1 / FZ1N & why .

p.s. thanks in advance for any help .. :)

Hi again,

I have just had my first service done by 3 Cross at Wimborne near Ringwood Hampshire, they used "Silcoline Pro 4" Fully Sythetic .

My bike is the ABS version (In Black), i have now done 895 miles on the clock.

All i can say is when you get past 8 Thousand, hold tight as this bike is simply Awsome!!

Rich. :)

is it recommended by Yamaha that full synthetic is used ? as i change my oil more frequently & feel semi synthetic oil changed more often is better , than full synthetic oil changed less frequently ..
