I've noticed this a couple of times now and was just wondering if it is normal.
After running my Yamaha Vino XC50 at full throttle for about 3 to 5 minutes the power will drop. It's not a gradual thing. It just seems to drop instantly to about half power. Is this some sort of protection mechanism that prevents one from running full throttle for too long?

Oil's are getting weird, I was in Wal-mart yesterday and noticed many grades that were around before are gone. Use 10W-40 for warmer weather. It's around all the time and will work fine. Don't bother with exotic or synthetic blends, use dino. JMO, Rich Thanks much! I contacted Valvoline with the same question and their response matched yours. They recommended their 4-Stroke 10W-40 for Motorcycles which I was able to pick up at the local auto parts store. |

I picked up a Yamaha Vino XC50 last year and would like to change the engine oil. The manual recommends 10W-30 for low ambient temp, 20W-40 for higher ambient temp. I went to several places and could not find 20W-40. I even went to the dealer looking for Yamalube 4, but they didn't have it.
Does anyone have recommendations on a readily available oil I can use in an XC50?
