Hello everyone, this is my first post here at 3ww after reading through the forums anonymously for the past few months I finally decided to join on up.

For my first post I would like to ask if anyone knows where I can find 20w40 oil yamaha calls for my bikes, also if they have a synthetic version available as well. I have searched far and wide internet wise but 20w40 seems to just be a strange weight. The only places I find that have them are out of stock and want me to buy 12 quarts at a time.

I purchased a ytm200 bike from a friend of mine a few months ago and it was missing a tooth inside the engine on the first gear. Well a couple rides into it another tooth popped off and bound itself up in the transmission somewhere. I am just looking for another motor entirely as the engine was smoking anyhow.

Anyways sorry to make the post so long just got a lot to talk about and noone to talk to besides here!

Thanks for having a kickass site and all those specs pages, they are very helpful.
