Is the Rotella T6 5w40 oil ok to use on the FJR?

Actually, I think it's probably better to use it IN the FJR...

I think Yes, and I also think so is Rotella 15W-40, and I also think NEPRT.

I use it, therefore it must be good.

The minute I put synthetic oil in my bike, without even starting the engine, the crankcase cracked in two and the gearbox cover blew off injuring my sleeping basset hound.

I am now running a blend of slick 50 and powdered graphite.

Uh, no. Don't ask him to do that. He forgot to note that he was using his sarcasm font. We've seen so many oil and tire threads over the years that some folks don't take them seriously ant more and it's just assumed everyone knows.

My bike doesn't like Rotella. Gear shifting starts out fine but at about 1000 miles downshifting becomes stiff and nearly impossible at about 2500 miles. Change oil and problem goes away. My bike much prefers Valvoline. YMMV.

MrZappo beat me to it, but you have to start it up for the flames to shoot out.

It works like oil,,,, Can't say it shifts any different, which is to say fine.

All I ever used after 1k miles.
