[QUOTE="rocketman0, post: 1169757, member: 86789"] I change the oil and filter and the gear oil the first time today on my '14 A. It has 659 miles. The oil drain plug was removed with 45 ft.lb and everything was fine. The Yamaha oil filter I got already has a coat of something that looked like silicon grease on the gasket after I removed the wrapper so I did not put any oil on the gasket (see attached pic.) I wonder if all Yamaha oil filter came this way? This is the first time I see a Yamaha oil filter as this is my 1st FJR. Honda motorcycle oil filter did not have any grease on the gasket. I use 20W50 YamaLube oil. I'll switch to full synthetic on next oil change. Probably Rotella T6 or Mobil-1. I ordered a quart of this special Yamaha gear oil specifically for 2014 FJR, from boats.net for a total of US$22.59 including shipping. I figure I will use it for now, then I'll switch to Mobil-1. A quart will last 5 gear oil changes as it takes only 0.2 quart. I threw away the oil drain plug crush washer. I replaced the washer with a flat 14mm copper washer. It's a lot easier to tighten by hand without the need to crush anything. I did reuse the crush washer on the gear oil drain plug and fill plug. Thank you all!
