[QUOTE="MikeinFresno, post: 189352, member: 40"] I use Rotella T synth, Walmart $20 a gal. Change oil every few rides and oil filters every two oil changes. CLEAN air filter every ride if dusty or real wet. If not dust you can go a couple of rides...replace filter with new one depends upon how often it gets cleaned which wears it out by breaking down the glue and foam. Stay away from chain wax or thick gooey stuff. Use a synth chain lube...this is all so the dirt doesn't stick to the chain causing a mess and wearing the chain out due to the grit stuck on it from the lube. Look into valve adjustments before too long so you know its good after you just got the bikes. If you do it yourself do the small bike first and see how it goes, Im guessing its a screw adjustment and I think the 450 is a shim-not sure on a Yam. If its too much for you then have the 450 done by someone else. [/QUOTE]
