if its a first gen vmax any good 10w-40 motorcycle oil. i use mobil 1 4t motorcycle oil, some will say synthetics shorten the life of the clutch, i never had a problem, just stay away from automotive oil because they don't have the additives for a wet clutch.

Were is the dipstick on your 2000 Yamaha vmax?
there is no dipstick on a Yamaha vmax. only an oil sight glass window for the oil on the bottom right side of the engine near the front. the oil fill is on the right side of the engine, near the back. make sure you fill your oil slightly higher than the sight glass window so you don't lose oil pressure when you nail it (when you hammer on it and your oil light comes on, you're running without enough oil and could cause engine damage). I have a 2001 and i use about 4l of oil, instead of the 3.5l the bike specifies.
