I was always told that you shouldnt use synthetic oils for the first 2 or 3 oil changes in a normal car since synthetic oil is a superefficent lubricant and doesn't allow the engine to break in as well, this probably applys the same to any engine when new, and then I was also told that you should use yamalube for the first 2 or 3 oil changes in a quad, and then go to something else if you would want to.

But to answer your question, can't go wrong with yamalube.

Thats just my 2 cents.

MIke.

Motors are broken in at the factory, the whole break in "myth" is wrong. Most high performance cars run synthetic from the factory, polaris quads do the same from what i hear.

Yes, synthetic is stock in Polaris. And yes I agree about the break in myth, it is a myth at that. Corvettes run full synthetic from the factory(not that I have one...lol)

Looks like the Yamaha shops are getting their point across on peddling that Yamalube.
