just did my 1000 km final drive oil change. i had my dealer send some up to me, but i got time to do it before it arrived so i bought what i assumed was the same that i was getting and did the change.
i used this stuff.
the dealer sent this stuff (which is apparently the wrong stuff)
and now i see yamaha has oil specifically for this bike
I've only put a hundred km on the bike since the change to check for leaks, so no harm done there.
but
i have a 1000km trip coming up in a few days and don't think i can get the proper yamaha stuff in time.
should i cancel the trip, or should i be safe for a 1000km or so and just swap it when i get the proper stuff? how wrong can gear oil be?
thoughts...opinions?
