KlotzBanshee Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 A friend of mine resently bought a like new slightly used 05 Raptor 660R from the local Yamaha dealer. The Stealership parts guys sold him on some oil I've never herd of "7th Gear". He wants to switch up to something better, but doesn't know what brand and weight to go with. I'm a two stroke guy and don't know crap about Raptors, other than they're usually behind me. :yelrotflmao: So all you Raptor guys - Please advise Thanks -Ryan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Animalman294 Posted June 29, 2006 Report Share Posted June 29, 2006 I use Yamalube 10-40 or 10-50................ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
holeshotkid Posted June 30, 2006 Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 I run amsoil 0w40. As far a the filter goes, I run the WalMart Supertech 6607. It has the same tool stamp on the filter as a Wix and at just over 2 bucks a piece, you cant go wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KlotzBanshee Posted June 30, 2006 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2006 Thanks for the replies :beer: It sounds to me like the good old Yamalube would be a safe bet...4R - 10w-40 then? He asked about running Amsoil. Is there a specific one to get? Or does He just look for the "motorcycle w/ wet type clutch" oil? :shrug: What ratio should he mix his gas at? :baseball_w00t: J/K -Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
