Yamaha Scorpio SX-4W basic maintenance

Anyone else had issues with bulbs blowing?

I've done 12,500 KM and have been through

3x taillight bulbs
2x speedometer bulbs

Finding speedometer illuminating bulbs is a challenge, I've had to resort to using LED 'bulbs' which draw more voltage and run a little bit dimmer than the stock ones.

Also wanted to ask, have you ever had an issue with 5th gear slipping back into 4th if you don't slam it in really hard? I've had 5th slip back into 4th every now and then and have had to kick it in harder to make sure it stays in 5th, is this a common thing with scorpios?

I changed the oil to Spectro golden 4 10/40w and shifting problems like this stopped altogether. I don't know what my service agent put in originally but I was having a problem getting neutral, slipping from 5th to 4th and clutch plate stuck first thing in the morning - all resolved now due to my oil change.

No problems so far with the IRC tyres so far, just the odd wiggle on white paint in the rain.
