[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1460730, member: 19880"] In the good old days, Yamaha insisted that you use their high priced final drive gear oil. Clowns among the early inmates dubbed the stuff "Whale jizz" - as justification for the outlandish expense. AFAIK, nobody has ever had a final drive blow up due to the use of a lesser lubricant. Mobil1 is just fine. I use a store brand (Canadian Tire) synthetic. Didn't know what year your FJR was - my '07 didn't have heated grips but my '11 has factory heated grips. (I see from an earlier post that you have a '08) Factory heated grips can be purchased for earlier Gen II, but they are expensive. (There is even a plug in the wiring harness to connect them.)
