[QUOTE="Diablo1, post: 1457291, member: 91933"] My FJR is a 2006 AE. I’m surprised the newer bikes would require different viscosity oils depending on ambient temperature - that’s very strange. So I looked in the 2022 owners manual and yes, Yamaha steers you to 10W-40 or 10W-50 at cold ambient temperatures and 50 weight oil at ambient temperature above 110F. A 10W-50 oil covers their entire temperature range, but who is going to ride at 110F+ ambient temperature? A 5W-40 isn’t on their chart, but flows better at frigid temperatures and should make starting easier. [/QUOTE]
