If you want to get fancy. The manual shows the symbol LS next to the speedo drive so this is what Yamaha recommend using https://www.shopyamaha.com/product/detai...earch&d=31|31&ls=yamaha-motor-company&dealernumber=

[size=1em]Molybedenum is a general slip agent that is often added to car engine oils, they say it makes oil more slippery without changing the viscocity of the oil. That’s why they (not sure who they are) say you should not use oils with this additive in vehicles with wet clutches.[/size]

[size=1em]I have heard others say I have used oil with moly in my bike for years and it’s never done any damage, well good luck.[/size]
[size=1em]Yet others will say with equal value I have driven for thousands of miles without a seat belt on and have never gone through a windscreen, well good luck with that one as well.[/size]

[size=1em]On the subject of lube for the speed sensor Yamaha probably know best.[/size]

So as we are all saying & Yamaha to, LS = Lightweight Lithium Soap Base Grease. MS = Molybedenum Disulphide Grease.
