Ha Ha obviously check the oil lines for leaks. If not that obvious, it could be something internal and therefore much more serious. I've heard of Yamahas not getting broken in right and theres actually some sludge built up on the cylinder walls. You might need to get it really HOT to melt that crap off. Its worth a shot.
