I met a fellow Buell rider the other day saying he swears by this Yamalube stuff. been putting in all his XL motors for years. any one have any input on this????
If its good enough for all of yamahas vehicles from ATV-Bikes-Sleds...why not an air cooled vtwin?

The FACTORY "GASKETS" are better now !!!


"OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOPS", my eyes did not ingage my BRAIN ????

IMHO, my engine seems to feel that H-D SYN3 20W50 is the best at 110,400.9 as of the last ride ...

No Bearing issues as of yet ...

What do you mean by this? "Factory Gaskets"?
Yamalube is engine oil....

I am still of the opinion that you should use oil. I have yet to here of an engine failing because of the use of oil. I have seen examples of failures due to not using oil

As long as it is the correct weight Yamalube will do fine, as almost any correct oil would. I prefer synthetic.

Yamalube is (last I heard) a 20w50 semi synthetic. So it would be a decent choice.

That being said, for the money, you could probably get a full synthetic 20w50.
