    Teflon chain lubricant

    9 times out of 10 my dealer runs out of Yama-Lube and I end up getting PJ1, last time around Blue Label was out and I saw black label, got it figuring it was better, until I went on a group ride 2 weeks ago and learned quickly how to drift through a 90 degree left-hander... waiting for the...

    Belt driven FZ6R

    Thoughts on this, my bike had a chain slack adjustment at 1500 miles, I'm now sitting at 3100 miles and my chain slack is still in spec. Proper cleaning/lube regiment helps avoid bigger projects.

    Teflon chain lubricant

    Just ordered my first can today. I was using PJ1 Blue Label and switched to PJ1 Black Label.... that was a bad idea, my chain has been slinging lubricant everywhere including, but not limited to... my rear tire. Not doing that again :P Anyways, was wondering if anyone had experience with...

    Oil pan is cracked ... now what?

    Dropped off the bike at the dealership yesterday. Service manager said he would look at it today and then get working with Yamaha to get it resolved.

    Thread is not the issue, sump cover itself is actually cracked below the drain bolt.

    Oil pan is cracked ... now what?

    Spoke to the dealer I bought the bike from regarding my situation and asked whether he thought I would get a replacement. He said and I quote "Listen, you bought the bike from me, bring it to me. I'll make this right for you.".... I bought this bike from a dealer who was priced a little higher...

    Oil pan is cracked ... now what?

    Is it just me, or does 31 ft/lb sound like way too much? After thinking about it... thats roughly half the amount of torque the motor on this bike puts out. That would be the equivalent of requiring 200 ft/lb of torque on a gt500 drain bolt.

    Oil pan is cracked ... now what?

    Cracked my oil pan when trying to ensure the drain bolt was at 31 ft/lb... googled and saw that apparently many people on this forum have had the same fate. Called Yamaha and they indicated that I needed to take it to an authorized dealer. Called my local dealer and he told me to bring it in. My...
