Yamalube versus conventional oil. Does anyone ever get sick of paying 25 dollars for a few quarts of oil just because it says yamalube on it. Is there that much of a difference from lets say mobil one 10w 30 which happens to be almost 3 dollars a quart less. I am interested in hearing what people think.:sing

well, if u are that concerned about another 20 bucks, whatever.
i dont mind spending extra for the good oil.
my Repsol rep hooks me up good tho.
i run Amsoil in my Chevy truck, its a $65 oil change, but i only change it every 10k miles in that.
i even have Amsoil in the trans, transfer case and both diffs.

if u are looking for cheaper oil, try Shell Rotella synthetic.
u can get that stuff almost anywhere.
just dont get the energy conserving kind, it contains a lot of molly.

i use yamalube only. i was thinking about synthetic but i'm not sure. i know yama is pricey, but i am obsessed with my bike and its an expensive hobby and to me thats just another expense. i don't want to cheap out and know that if i would have spent an extra 20 bucks once or twice or a few times a year it would have ran better or i would not have had some problem.
basically i just figure its made specifically for these bike and they know what they are doing. maybe i'm getting ripped off maybe not. but it makes me feel better to spend the extra dough.

just get some Yamabond, it works great.
the leaks u posted are very minor IMO, and easily fixed.
dont tell anyone but i use Yamabond on my CBR because its a bit better than the honda stuff.

After your lowside back in April, that could happen. You posted that the day after you joined. Ironic or is someone new to bikes? Let me guess, it's the same spot and you have "fixed" it every time. I am sure Wyotech could of atleast taught you to how to put on gaskets and change out covers, since you went to MMI. If it's leaking it three different spots, WTF did you do to that bike? Your not even running real synthetic in it.
yeah new to bikes. Not really. I did use yama bond and it worked good. I am gonna use it again with the new gasket. Second to lextacy or whoever I did go to mmi and I do all my own work however the lowside didn't touch the clutch cover. However the force obviously tweeked it because three out of the like 12 blolts have a slight oil leak
