I knew it was going to be a bad day when all the "suggested just for you" adverts on the social media feeds featured nothing but "Tire Warmers".

I'm still using a bucket, soap, sponge and hose!

I discovered that the North American (Canada and the USA) recommended oil change mileages in the owner's manual (every 6,000kms, or 4,000 miles) - are MUCH less than the recommendations for service in the owner's manuals in the rest of the world: (10,000kms, or 6,000 miles). Same recommendations for oil - YAMALUBE, or API SG or better OR JASO MA. Same for the FZ07/MT07 series. So I ask "Why does Yamaha recommend more frequent service for the North American motorcycles?"

Check the Sidestand switch? (Similar effects noted way long ago on my 1981 Yamaha XJ650, and this April on a Ducati Multistrada 1200. ) Can't hurt to check - switch on tight? On centerstand, runs in gear, dies when sidestand deployed. (Keep your mitts away from any moving parts!)
