[QUOTE="Nomore76, post: 124102, member: 2751"] I just bought my first FJR last weekend. (Yes, I love it!) However, it is also my first bike with a shaft drive, so I have a question. Yesterday I washed my new baby including the rear rim which had some oily/greasy gunk on it. I assumed it was from the original assembly at the dealership. Afterwards, I went for a 10 mile cruise around the neighborhood. When I get home there was new oily/greasy gunk all around the rear rim on the left (driveshaft) side. Since the bike only has 250 miles, is this simply oil/grease from the original spline assembly that will eventually stop flinging off, or does it always do that? I though shaft drives, especially new ones, were supposed to be spotless and clean? [/QUOTE]
