Hello folks

I have just taken ownership of my 1st Yamaha - a 1993 YZF750R. Lovely so far but dodgy colour! The manual is suggesting 20W40 from 5 degrees plus or 10W30 for up to 15 degrees. As my riding will go both below and above these temperatures, wouldn't a 10W40 be better as it covers all ranges of temperature? I hesitate to buy it as it isn't recommended by the book! What do you good folk use in your YZF's for good all year round use.

Thanks, Bobby.

i use 10W-40 in my FZ600. Make sure it is for motorcycle grade, though. Regular car oil will not go over so well. I further suggest trying Yama-Lube. Made specifically for Yamahas, it is a little pricey ($8/US Qt.) but the bike only need like 2 Qts...
