The 850 *should* use 10W30 or 10W40 oil....but it seems to be generally accepted that 10W40 is   'always fine'  


Haynes says either of those weights. Having done many many oil changes I couldn't remember what weight i normally use. This time the Yamaha Service manuel (for mk1) was easier to access than the Haynes and that says...





Temps minus to 15degC:



Yamalube 4 (10W30) or SAE 10W30 type SE motor oil.





Temps 5 to above 15 degC:



Yamalube 4 (20W40) or SAE 20W40 type SE motor oil.



Don't think I ever knew that...or forgot.
Doin valve clearances? Use dappers valve shim exchange program and the job will be carroty - Free (other than you postin me yer shims) for sporting members.
