Hi
I am new here. I just picked up a 2006 FJR. Based on the 75 miles I have on it so far I am impressed.
I have a quick question about oil for my final drive. I have searched but can't seem to find any postings concerning final drive oil. The manual only says to use the Yamaha oil. It says nothing about what weight or type. In my other shaft drive bikes (an ST1100 and a BMW R1100) I used Mobil 1 synthetic gear oil. Is this OK, or is the Yamaha oil special in some way.
I don't want to start an oil thread, but there doesn't seem to be much information on this.
