too hot not mean it good, as i said last time the chemical combination inside oil.. no matter what brand we use. i think yamah lube only add more XHVI inside,they not use esteer or polyoil ester...

if u want to use more higher temp on your engine oil..
the number u should increase is after W..
now u r using 23w40..
u should use 20w50..

the 1st number is fluidity on cold temp...
the number after W is based on it's max temperature...

should you use synthedic oil? ever, i have heard that once you sues it, you cant change to reg. oil after. what would be the best synthedic oil to use, so far the highest numbers i can find is 15w40 i think. i'm using Castrol Activ prem. 20w-50 now. but i want to get better performance. should i change it to synthedic???
 
try motul 5100 15w-50 first (un-ordinary semi synthetic :p), if it doesn't enough you may try petronas sprinta 5000 10w-40 (full synthetic), but motul 5100 15w-50 suits me the most.
after you try full synthetic, you can change to semi synthetic by replacing your oil filter, but using full synthetic won't do any good if you don't race everyday :p

15w-50 isn't too liqudy for the hot weather? i know the 20w-50 is the best for hot weather, but i can't find anything in semi or full synthedic
 
yeah, but still closer than 10w-40 :D I've tried the 10w-40 on a hot day, and my bike won't run more than 80kmph :p

Full synthetic is always 'liquidy' since the use fully sythetic base oil, you may find 0w-30 but you won't find 20w-50 :D The other brand that have 20w-50 (than Yamalube) is ENEOS. But like yamalube, eneos, or even castrol won't last long till 3000km, you'll get best performance of them only on first 1000-1500km. But motul did his job well till 3000km.
 
i've use silkolene comp 4 10w 40 on my bike...
it's really suit my bike..

no prob with heating issue bcoz my cooling system works really well...

frozen..
in msia..
you've got no prob searching 4 15w 50 /20w 50 on fully synthetic

4 me..
if u always 'pushing' your bikes to maximum performance..
it's recommended using fully synthetic oil..

ok, i changed my oil yesterday, i got 15w40 synthetic, but i mixed it with 20w50 hot weather oil (thats what i have been using), just so it's not fully synthetic. today will be a test to see how she runs.
