Whatever you do, just keep one thing in mind-don't use harsh stuff like kerosene too often, else the chain will turn permanently black.

i have the manual for r1 ,r6 ,fz1 all states use kerosene for cleaning the chain,i was shocked to see our indian manual says dont use it,
for manual check yamaha europe site

I think those chains can be cleaned with kerosene. Prolly they are made with some other material.

I use Motul chain clean&then Yamalube dry type chain spray once in every 1500kms.or whenever the chain starts making noise.
Last time it lasted me 1500kms.with 3 heavy rain rides&water washing every weekend. I got it relubed when the first hint of noise started, but it rained heavily the same day! No difference to the lube though. If it were Motul lube, I would have had to run back to the SVC the next day. Not to mention my rear alloy&number plate being sprayed black.

OK then. Will check out this Motul chain cleaner...Hope this is the best solution....thx man...cheers.
BTW...what do u mean by-chain turns black...Does it wear out or something harmful like that??

As you read it first at vicky.in few weeks back, Yamaha today launched the new Fazer in India. Fazer is the third bike from Yamaha on FZ-16 platform. Recently yamaha launched a new variant of FZ-16 called FZ-S. Similar to the FZ-S, the fazer is powered by a 153cc engine producing 14PS of max power at 7500rpm and 14Nm of peak torque at 6500rpm. This new Fazer comes with a quarter fairing and it now gets even bigger rear tyre. The rear tyre is now 140-60 with 17″ alloy wheels. Fazer is priced at Rs72,000 (ex-showroom delhi). Fazer is available in four colours – blue, black,red and orange.

In additon to the launch of Fazer, Yamaha has announced the launch of new colours for R15 – yellow, black,red and blue

The second&third one is overcharging, i have completed my forth service...
1) Teflon coating - it's up to ur choice, whether to do or not
2) Engine oil - which brand ru using? normally they use yamalube mineral oil which costs only 170-180Rs/-
3) Chain cleaning - it's a complete bulls**t... they must do it free, coz ur in ur free service mode...
4) Logo price - quite natural if it's gone...

check 2nd and 3rd one... They are not correct
For my services...
first service - charged 220Rs/- changed engine oil and one oil for FZ(elements)(including tax)
Second & Third - 170Rs/-(changing oil and servicing including chain clean&lubing)
Forth - 415Rs/-(Engine oil change to yamalube semi synthetic)

what say guys???
