    My bike engine vibrates a lot at 5k rpm and at 6k rpm and beyond. The issue has not been rectified even after 3 services. So only I tried other oil as per Reviews in this forum and YouTube but issue got worsened. Hence I switched to yamalube. Don't know what's wrong with the engine and cannot find the cause.

      Tighten engine mounting bolts at correct torque. Also check rear futrest bolt, leg guard bolt and lubricate swing arm bushes and correct chain slack. Vibes will go away.

        Ok thanks for the suggestions. Also I'll change the svc in next service.

          The reason is because the motul that is available now is made here and they add additives to boost oil characters. Because of that Yamaha dropped Motul as it's official India oil supplier. While the Motul 7100 is still better than all other oils. The OEM oil is usually tested for the operating range of the bike. If you find Yamalube is good go for it. Just ensure you change oil way before the usual recommend period.

          I don't use miniral for more than 6 month or 2000km, and a synthetic like 7100 for 1 year or 5000km.
          There are no short-cuts to any place worth going. So ride safe when you are treading uncharted roads.

            Yes even I change oil once in every 2500 km. since I commute 44km daily to office have ridden 13k in less than a year. I'll stick to yamalube.

              Ankit sir, it would be greatly helpful if you could post a simple DIY for swing arm bushes lubrication.

                Swingarm bush lubrication is a workshop thing.

                    I was reading the workshop manual . It suggested to bleed the brakes and change the brake fluid everytime we change brake pads.
                    My question is - Whether ₹1600 comprehensively includes changing of brake fluid as well or is it just the price of brake pads and labour involved .

                      they don't do anything other than replacing the brake pad. I'm on my 3rd set and have done 15k. Pathetic.

                        I second that. But this was true in my case only after 10000 kms.

                                Thanks . Will get it from Yamaha dealership . But the bash/skid plate is way too small . I am sceptical whether it will offer any protection . Can anyone post a picture of how much area under the belly will it protect ?
