Total overkill IMHO and is true racing oil and formulated that way, however I run Motul 7100 10W40 ester synthetic and won't be using anything else going forward.

based upon your "won't be using anything else going forward." comment and backed up by cyclegear guy at the shop (though his 1st recommendation was 300v), i changed to motul 7100 yesterday. Oh boy!! what a difference! The motor just came alive. Feels like a different beast all together (for reference, 4000 miles earlier i used Mobil 1 4T racing). I was not checking engine temperature lately so don't know if running cooler, but its definitely less noisy (i can actually enjoy the exhaust note now). 

I picked up 2016 model (24k miles on it) 6 months ago (my first Yamaha) but was never impressed by it untill yesterday. Had a big smile all day today on a full day ride along twisties and freeways!
