They used a specific grade of oil for the first 600 miles, or whatever the mileage was for the first service. I remember they used Rock Oil and the drums in the workshop were clearly marked to avoid any confusion.
It's not that they don't change the oil it's that they don't really need to, hence why they now charge for it. Changing the oil isn't going to do any harm nor is not changing it, if owners what to that's their choice. Using Rock oil or any other is just what the manufacturer is in partnership with at the time, Yamaha used to be Mobile, now it's Yam lube, Kawasaki I think is now Fuchs.
If you go to Silkolene's web site search oil by bike FSZ600 will come up as suitable for "all" their that is 10/40w I wonder why!!!!!
