    And I asked the SVC near my home and they didn't had it, I'll try a different SVC.
    Both are good but in motul you have to lube after 500 kms and in yamalube you can extend it to about 650-700 kms.

      Yeah. I have put it (new yamalube, costs 450/-) from authorised service center (kolkata yamaha factory shop), it is good, but not as good as previous Yamalube 15w50, they told me to drain it within 2500-3000km range.
      Better is Motul 300v 15w50 FS, Stickier, Smooth & Lasts atleast 5000-6000km.

        I think every FS engine oil last 5k kms and SS engine oil lasts 2-3k kms I think SVC guys have quoted wrong drain interval.

          Get it 1st serviced at Kestopur Yamaha Factory Shop or BT Road Aquad. The mechanics are really good and do great job fixing any problem to Nil. Sudipta Goswami is a nice person.

          The mechanic told fully synthetic oil gets vapourised, check after 2500km, if oil level decreases, then drain it within few hundred kms, and also told to not to switch back to mineral after fully synthetic oil.

            First service already done in Topsia. The mechanics are ok there, not great but ok. However, will go to Kestopur for a chitchat and see if I can do the 2nd service form there.

                Just follow the rpm limits mentioned in the manual as per your km reading and no sudden bursts of acceleration. Also moderate engine breaking helps (personal opinion). Always accelerate linearly with occasional outbursts.

                    First time i am hearing FS engine oil lasts for 2.5k kms, even if you ride aggressively then also FS oil lasts atleast 4k kms. For example duke 390 drain interval is 7.5 k kms but I still change it at 5k kms. Senior members can contribute their thoughts on this.

                        AFAIK, FS lasts long but highly priced.
                        However Chandan, you said that it's 450, so I'm little confused here.

                        While visiting the SVC, I sat on V2, and there I felt no difference except that the R15s sits are little softer, but you will get used it it.

                          I got my question wrong, it should have been:
                          Which one will you prefer for chain maintenance, Motul or Yamalube?

                          However, thanks for the info for the engine oil. FS means Fully Synthetic?

                          And one more question, did anyone installed double/center stand? SVC guys told 900 aprox.

                          Got this one for 125rs from Service station.

                            So you need to still lean forward as much as was the case with V2?
