300v is alot better than yanha oil both mineral and semi synth. And bike gives good response. 7100 simply takes that experience to next level despite being cheaper. If you don't do 20+ km stretches Yamaha synth oil is cheaper and good option. I usually drain within 4k kms. Though motul oils can certainly see you through 6k kms. 7100 is best if you can spare the amount. Else go with synth oil of Yamaha.

I can assure you that you won't regret spending on 7100. Do stick to recommended grade though. 10w40.

thank you bro for the info.. since i am planning to use the yamaha fully synthetic in my next service.. as per your experience.. did you feel any difference between the yamaha mineral and fully synthetic?

Noticeable. Particularly if you don't do very long stretches.

Re: Yamaha FZ-16/ FZ-S

Those of you are feeling that the engine is harsh, try using 10w50 or 15w50 engine oil. When I use to own R15 V1.0 I've seen service centre mechanics using Yamalube 15w50 in both R15 & FZ's. I've also ridden a friend's FZ in those days with 15w50 in it and the engine as well as gearshifts felt butter smooth.

In the year 2008 when I took my R15 for 1st servicing the service centre guy filled in Castrol 20w40 oil. But 2nd servicing onwards they always used Yamalube 15w50. Also, they used this same oil for FZ's & Fazer.

Nice, similarly honda also recommend 10w 40 oil in the past but now they fill 10w 30 only [emoji22][emoji22]

For my 2018 FZ .. the recommended grade in the manual is 10w40 .. therefore i think we can only get 10w40 yamalube at the svc .. but we can definitely change the grade if we change the brand .. i think the w50 should help in summers

Summer or winter 10w40 does equally good just make sure to use FS.

I will surely be putting the FS oil in my next service .. the yamaha mineral oil I have used is not worth at all

Actually according to my experience, it's not the oil but it's related to the engine break in process. Previously i had roughness in my engine, so i used honda throttle synthetic oil around 3.5k kilometers but recently at 4.8k kilometers i poured honda mineral oil in 3rd servicing and to my surprise my hornets engine runs more smoother in 260 rupees mineral oil than the 630 rupees synthetic oil. For small engines semi synthetic oil is enough. You can try shell semi synthetic 10w40 or motul 7100, 10w 40 oil if you wish.

bro i followed the break in process very religiously as per the manual.. for me the mineral oil doesn't seem to be working.. i think before moving to another brand i'll try the yamaha fs once and see if helps.. if not then i'll move to another brand as suggested by you guys

I too felt the same, have patience wait till 4k kilometers for the engine to settle. After that if you are not comfortable with yamalube you can surely go for motul/ shell oil. This is what i experienced in my bike. But, you are free to use any oil, afterall it's your bike .

Happy Riding bro [emoji4][emoji4]

Yes bro I want to give the best treatment to my bike .. if it were for the warranty .. I would have opted for another brand in my next service .. but I want to test my bike for sometime and give yamalube fs a chance .. if nothing works then I'll surely switch brands

Happy Riding to you too

really bro .. before the first service I asked SVC about this and they said we cannot use other oil .. and once I brought my own motul chain lube and they refused to use it .. does yamaha really agree with using other oil if confirmed via mail?
