Did you find out the reason for the chain snapping?
At 16k kms my chain started sounding odd. Kind of a muffled sound of some nuts clanking in a rotating metal container. Cleaning up the chain and lubing would give a few days of reduced sound but would be back to the clunky sound in 3-4 days. SVC told to replace the sprocket and chain set together. The teeth of the sprocket were not worn and could have lasted another 5-10k kms. But got them replaced and the chain movement was smooth again. The cause was 2-3 links of the chain had stiffened and were not bending properly when going over the front sprocket. I suspect that might have been the case with you as well. For me as i was doing short city rides the chain wasnt stressed to the extent of snapping.

Also a question to everyone - for long driving stretches across multiple days is it good to clean up the chain lets say every 1000 or so km during the ride itself. Especially if riding in dusty or rainy conditions?

The reason for the snapping was hooked teeth of front sprocket. few links had stiffened too. but after I replaced the chain sprocket set, I tested it with the old sprocket and found out that was the culprit.

Throughout the trip I lube the chain every day before starting the to ride.

Does your rear wheel lock up (considering that you have new brake shoes) when applying the rear brake? If so, the brake drum liner may be worn out.

I think its directly imported from japan because the contents written at the back of the can is japanese. Its reddish in colour.

Please do update regarding the Racing Yamalube Oil, btw there's no solution regarding engine, they just adjust tappet, I too have finished all free service of my FZ-S v2.0 Rear Disc variant, but sill facing this issue.

Btw how's your's Yamaha after-sales service, here Yamaha Service station has stopped owners to look at their motorcycles while they're serving plus regarding quality of parts, they have degraded. I have changed headlight bolts twice. (Yamaha service guys claim they changed because of vibrations in headlight assembly).

Most manufacturers are only interested in sales. Btw most moped and scooter owners are better treated (have and had experince with tvs & honda) than owners spending a lac rupees on non tested motorcycles.

Check old post, if you're fitting 140/70 section tyre with hugger then there would be no gap. If you want then change that hugger with long rear fender or short one.

The bike has completed exactly 1600 kms with the YAMALUBE GP Racing oil
As per my experience the oil is performing good than the shitty yamalube sporty oil which is meant for the R15.
The gear shifts are smooth & there is no sign of heating even after the ride in the heavy traffic conditions or after a long ride on highways.
Checked the oil level yesterday its just fine and can easily lasts for other 1500 kms for sure.
Regarding the engine noise as i said in my previous posts there is no solution with this oil the noise is just reduced a bit thats it, There is no major difference.
Whats your bike odo? And do you also face noise from the engine? What did the yama svc people told regarding the noise?
Next oil change will be with the motul 7100.

Good to hear and know about that Yamalube GP Racing Oil . I hope, to use it on next oil change.

Btw I never had problems with Yamalube Sporty Premium engine oil, just didn't liked its viscosity than other 10w40 oils. Is good for normal commuting but don't worked well for me in heavy traffic and hot weather of Gujarat.

Regarding noise I agree with you, it won't go away, I myself use 10w50 (Elf Moto 4 Tech & Castrol Power1 Racing) grade to reduce noise. Current odo is almost 10k kms. SVC used to either adjust tappet or would give excuses like noise & engine heating will there because of their aluminuim engine parts.
