[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1429325, member: 19880"] Do you have an owner's manual? If not, you can download one from Yamaha for free. It will give you specifications and quantities for final drive oil and engine oil. Or you could look at any of the dozens of oil threads on the forum. Mostly found in the Never Ending Pointless Recurring Threads (NEPRT) section. Not pointless in this case but never ending and recurring. Lots of good reading and maintenance tips on the forum. Search function works pretty well and you are encouraged to use it. Synthetic or conventional, and anything from 5W40 to 20W50 for motor oil. Use motorcycle-specific or a quality diesel motor oil (Rotella or Delvac) without energy conserving additives which can give you clutch problems. Will take just a bit over 1 US gallon. For the final drive, most people use a multi-grade synthetic gear oil such as Mobil-1. 75W90, I think. Yamaha sells their own but it is expensive. Doesn't take much. Don't over-torque drain plugs. Yamaha's spec is too high for the engine oil drain! [/QUOTE]
