motor oil for your scoot is 10w/40 so a good grade of this is the same as the yam-lube just not there brand think you need about 1.4ltrs so need to buy 2x i ltr which will cost you around £16...i tend to use Smith and allen website for my oil you can get 5ltrs for the same money take a look here http://www.smithandallan.com/prodpage.aspx?id=1868" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
not sure about the gear oil as you got a wet clutch i think, will have to wait for the tmax lads to chip in

Why the TMax lads? He has an XMax!

But it is 10/40 and it does have a wet clutch... and it needs to meet or exceed the requirements of JASO MA, it should be a mineral oil and not semi-sythetic or fully sythetic.

In my TMax I use Castrol Semi-Syth though and it meets JASO MA. But intend to switch to Silkolene as my nearest bike mechanic had some on special so I bought 10 litres...

Ok cheers guys ,thanks for your help there .

So is it 10w40 mineral oil for gears too?

not sure about the gear oil... likely not it should be much lighter.

Probably something like 80W 90 but it should have all this information in your user manual if it came with one?

EDIT: EDIT: I was totally wrong in the user manual is says for final transmission Yamalube 10W 40 or SAE 10W 30 - 0.25 litres
