    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've also ridden a friend's FZ in those days with 15w50 in it and the engine as well as gearshifts felt butter smooth.

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

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.

I would say if you had bad experience with 7100 .. you might have awesome experience with 300v .. though I have heard mixed reviews about 300v .. some say it is strictly for racing and derives the best possible performance from the engine and needs to be changed frequently .. some say if you use this oil for street .. it will last very long and gives the smoothest engine feel and performance .. that is why i am closely following sr motoworld since I have the same bike with same engine sound issues to see what is his long term review of the oil .. till now he is positive .. he has now upgraded to the 300v2

    the engine sounds which bug the v2 will bug the v3 as well.. even the fz25 has exactly the same issue.. i came to know about my issue from the fz25 thread.. where i saw many people have mentioned that they have been facing the tappet and coin rattling sound

    you are right about the fz v1 as the engine is different.. i don't think this issue was there when the v2 was launched.. they have done some change down the line in the fz v2 which is causing this issue along with the fz25

    see SR motoworld's video if you haven't seen yet:-

    My friend owns a 6 year old FZ midship version his bike engine doesnt even produce any tappet noise or any noise. I think due to the re design of the outer engine and internals the sound can be more in the version 2. Observe the engine design of version 1 & 2 they are slightly different.

    now summers have arrived and this will become a major issue for commuters.. engine will loose its smoothness in a few mins

    when the v3 was launched i heard that yamaha is going to do changes in the fz engine in 2020.. maybe they'll solve such issues



    my v2 doesn't even have abs bro.. I'll do a better stoppie than the v3.. [emoji23][emoji23][emoji23]
