New packaging for Yamaha shaft drive lube

[bikerjim]

Sorry if this a repost, but I found a quart package of the Yamalube shaft drive oil for the FJR at my dealer. The nice thing about it was the price, $20. The old pint was close to $30. The quart will give about 4 oil changes, for about $5 a change.

Bel-Ray 80-90W Hypoid Gear Oil is what the Yamaha shop told me to use. Way Cheaper!

Clicky

Cool. Since it now goes with the VMax maybe they are making a bit more if it and reducing the price.

I use generic dino 80w-95. No issues, real cheap.

If one can afford a 1700cc Star V-Max to run around on (MSRP - $19,500) -- who cares what a little gear lube costs...?
