2016 45k mileage
Owner did say he do regular maintenance.

Any tips on the eo type/mileage per change etc and chain lube? Or anything else I need to maintain it?

First bike here, totally no experience lol, but I do know this two is important right.

First thing to do....change all the lube

Just change engine oil first. Best one do it monthly. If not 1k to 2k km interval should be ok. Change air filter. Chain lube as per condition.

Can give details ah haha

First bike eh?

Just go to motorcycle bengkel.
Ask for oil change. Since you buy it used. Better make sure.
Maybe change the spark plug too.
And the oil filter.
Maybe change the coolant too just to make sure

But 45k sure is low for that kind of motorcycle

Welcome to the biking world.

Here's an owners manual. It's only 80 pages, so do go through it.
https://www.yamaha-motor.com.my/wp-content/...B-FZ150i-EN.pdf

EO - change every 5k km is pretty good.
Chain lube - have a look at your chain to determine what type it is.
- Normal chain - shorter life span, cheaper, need oiling more often.
- Sealed chain - Got rubber O-ring or other types (T, W, X, Z, XZ etc). Clean and lube once every 500km is very good.

Didn't know the recommended interval change is 5k for EO..a bit too long for our weather imho

EO

Castrol Power-1 - cheap but very good... up to u if u wanna use the semi syn or fully syn.. change every 5k km (oil filter change at the same time as well)

chain lube... up to u which u wanna use but i like WD-40 Specialist chain lube... can be had at hardware stores or u can buy from shoppee or lazada. lube the chain every 4-500km or once every 1-2 weeks or every full tank of fuel (if u the kind that fill up full every fill up)


recommend to change the spark plug and air filter and oil filter now so u know the age n conditions of these critical parts.

Alot ppl recommend 1-2k some even 3k change oil

Any reason behind this? The manual says 5k

Depends on ur usage...5k is safe enough if ur using semi or fully syn

Mineral oil recommended at 3k...but if u wanna do 1-2k change then i suggest using the cheapest oil

Definitely I prefer 5k and semi, much cheaper and much less work lol.

Please just skip semi synthetics.

Here's a list of recommended EO for bikes: Oil list, including HDEO (diesel oils)

And this list compiled for FZ:

Any reason why skip semi?

any pic TS? sharing is caring

Later haha , still learning how to ride.
I have no motorcycling or biking experience prior to this, and my class only start next week.

Currently riding in carpark and around condo only

TS don't have bike lesen yet?

welcome to bike world, haha

Nothing wrong, just my personal preference.

Mineral - good base oil good additive - jimat
Semi - really need to study the specific oil blend to trust it. For normal humans like us better just skip. Can go LYN oil thread and check out.
Fully - confidence

I change mine at every 3000km or less.

If the bike is mostly ridden in city traffic where engine temp can be high, best use at least semi syn

I find mineral eo doesn't hold high temperature that well.

Semi syn contain more than 50% mineral, at least 70% or more, IINM.
So if the mineral oil breaks down, it breaks down as a whole. The remaining synthetic blend will not hold for long.

I think most people believe going from mineral, to semi, to full, is a 'straight line' thing. Meaning, if cannot afford fully so get something in between and have a good feeling. Or, in other words, mineral 3k , semi 5k, then fully is 7k? IMO, it doesn't work like that. Synthetic oil is extracted from petroleum or mineral gas (GTL) then, engineered for enhancement... then, mix back to mineral oil will make it better?

I guess it should be more like, mineral 3k, semi 4~6k, fully 7k. Quality of semi oil depends on educated guess and luck.

Not to say all semi is bad. Just emphasize the information takes more energy to digest. Maybe you're lucky that you picked a good semi oil. No problem using it as long as it works for you.
