    saw that some people here weren't big fans of yamalube (why?) and was wondering what other, better, alternatives would be for oil?

    Well usually a Yamaha product would be good, but in China alas consumers want the cheapest product possible and Yamaha clearly can't be bothered to have a range of oils so the just went with the lowest grade 10-30 and dyed it red. Personally I like the domestically made Elf fully synthetic or Shell fully synthetic. I would buy imported fully synthetic imported Motul, but I just can't trust it's real.
