I had my sled to the dealer today for a warranty check and I got the power valves cleaned the same time. They said cyl #1 was easy to come out and clean, however #2 and #3 were really stuck in there. The mechanic said that they were really sludged up and it took him a long time and a lot of lubricant to get them out.
So anyway I am wondering what kind of oil you guys recommend using to keep this from happening again. I only had around 2300km, probally around 1400miles, and I didnt think this should happen using Yamalube.

There are much cleaner oils than Yamalube. I use Amsoil Interceptor. People also have good luck with Blue Marble, Ipone, and Klotz. There are many types of oils out there, these are all proven good clean oils, and lubricate better than yamalube as well, along with other benefits of a full synthetic oil (lower pour point)

Anyone ever used Motul synthetic sno pro oil. A local dealer offers it for $30 CAN for a 4 L jug.

Ok, thanks for the suggestion guys, I figured there had to be something out there that was better than YamaLube for Power Valves.
Can you get IPONE in the US?
