I run Yamalube 4 20w40 in my 04 Eiger. I keep hearing that this is expensive oil. Rocky Mountain ATV has it for $13.29 for 6 quarts. Is this expensive? I haven't seen any other oils that are safe for wet clutches. What do you guys run? Should I be running something else? When it comes to prunes, is 1 enough? Is 2 too many? Thanks.
That is pretty cheap. If its Yamalube, that is really cheap.
Also, check out Motul oils, good stuff.

as for the prunes ive never heard of them. i think i need to learn somthing new.
I wouldn't skimp on oil. I use Mobil1 synthetic motorcycle oil in my Eiger and Stitch's Polaris. I can get it at my Wal-Mart. AmsOil is good, so is Motul, as well as any other name brand motorcycle oil. A synthetic is always more expensive, but you will notice smoother shifting and it will be more resistant to heat breakdown.
That IS a very good price for Yamalube.
