I've been running 20 50 part synthetic oil ever since I've had this bike. It now has about 40k on the odo. Just before my last oil change (less than 500 miles ago) my oil light would intermittently come on, despite that the bike had the proper oil level.

So I changed the oil, using again 20 50. I skipped the filter this time because I did it last time.

The bike never seems to get up to temp (fully... like it did in the summer time) It get's up to temp enough that it runs fine without the choke, but never really above 60 degrees C on the temp gauge. And the oil light will still intermittently come on. It usually stays on for a few minutes, and then goes back off.

I'm wondering if during the colder months I should run a thinner oil. But, funny thing, this never happened last winter.

Okay, thanks in advance. ]]> galenernest http://pnwriders.com/mechanical-technical/119520-oil-question.html http://pnwriders.com/motorcycles/119519-2007-yamaha-r6.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:02:24 GMT 2007 Yamaha R6. Bone stock and in perfect condition, never down. 2900 miles, tabs good thru November 2010. Clean and clear title. Crap time of year to sell a bike, I know, but I would consider the following bikes in trade .... Triumph Scrambler / Bonneville BMW F650GS, preferably a Dakar Aprilia RSVR (2004+) Ducati 748/749/916/996/998/999/Monster Or maybe something interesting and old (NO Harleys or cruisers!) I may also consider a car/truck of similar or lesser value ... maybe! 2007 Yamaha R6. Bone stock and in perfect condition, never down. 2900 miles, tabs good thru November 2010. Clean and clear title.

Yes it has been quite awhile since you all of heard from Sarah and I, but I will let you know we ARE planning another BBQ and y'all need to come down to the Harbor so I can take you on some really good roads...

But right now I need some help. I am currently taking a few college classes and I am doing a research paper, and I need to know when the law changed from, When a rider takes his/her riding test on a let's say a 600CC thats the largest engine they are allowed to operate to taking the test on anything and allowed to ride anything with the exception of a trike or sidecar. If you can tell me what year that was put into effect that would be awesome... I await your response.
