Bullshit! This is highly illegal! Full synthetic motor oil exceeds ALL
specifications as dictated in the owners manual. There is NOTHING in the
manual about NOT USING synthetics, and they cannot require the exclusive use
of Yamaha ONLY products. They're wrong, you are right.
They're grasping at straws guessing that the ONE cylinder glazed. Why would
ONE cylinder glaze and NOT the others. Based upon pure likelyhood, it is
MUCH MORE likely that they screwed up a ring during reassembly than a single
cylinder glazed AFTER RE-ASSEMBLY, AFTER XXXX number miles had already been
put on the bike! This is insanity! Bottom line is that they don't want to
have to tear down the engine again and they'll try everything else first.
Meanwhile, contact cleaner makes its way into the engine case causing
residual damage that may not rear it's ugly head for thousands of miles. By
then, it's impossible to lay blame upon them.

(and they also said that Yamaha wouldn't
honor a factory warranty if fully-synthetic oil was used, but
this is a Western Service warranty)
