I'm detecting a hint of sarcasm from someone on this thread.

Wow, It's been a while for one of these....Now we just need a good oil thread to carry us into the weekend.

Anyone care to be the victim on "DogPile Friday"?

Rides:
2003 Suzuki Volusia 800 (too small, sold)
2005 Yamaha Road Star Warrior 1700 (Awesome - medical reason forced sale
(Unfortunate, Unscheduled, Car Induced, Violent Bicycle Dismount)clicky details)
2006 Suzuki VStrom 1000 (GREAT deal forced trade)
2007 Yamaha FJR AE 1300 (FJR: Freakin Japanese Rocket)

If talking politics is out, how am I going to find out who the Idiots are?

So many beers.....so little human blood volume.

Just because you aren't paranoid doesn't mean they're not out to get you.

Ok, well hopefully I got it fixed. I just connected a light under the seat using the running lights from the front signals. Charged up the battery and started it up and the additional light is working fine. After shutting it off, I didnt hear any more clicking, so hopefully its good to go.

Since it was brought up, WHAT KIND OF OIL DO I USE IN THIS BIKE?????

Mineral oil is not preferred.

I don't think so. That could never happen on this forum. Wink

No, it's olive oil. Smile

Good job on the bulb under the seat, more and more guys are doing that since its handy like an underhood light.

On the oil question, this data is from the Popular Mods post:

Oil - OEM Recommended: http://www.starmotorcycles.com/star/yamalube.aspx
Oil - OEM: Was YamaLube4 20W40 now 10W40 to 40F and 20W50 above 40F (3.91 qts, 4.33 qts w/filter).
Oil - OEM: Oil must meet API Service SE, SF, SG (or higher) for wet clutch.
Oil - Synthetic: http://rswarrior.com/forums/t/109802.aspx
Oil - Suggested Best for Warrior: http://rswarrior.com/forums/t/5542.aspx
Oil - Change Interval - Synthetic: http://rswarrior.com/forums/t/120349.aspx
Oil - Viscocity: (W=Winter) 10W40 at 32-degrees F flows as 10 weight; at 212-degrees F flows like 40 weight.
Oil - Viscocity: 20W-50 = 20 weight oil that will not thin more than a 50 weight would when 212-degrees F.
