[QUOTE="Geno, post: 957467, member: 27386"] Reading these forums is a great way to get edumacated on the best way to maintain our beloved Feejers, but sometimes a person can get pretty alarmed from some of the horror stories. I just finished my 16K service on my '11 (she's 10 months old now). I had a new set of PR3s installed, and while the back wheel was off, I pulled the driveshaft to clean & lube the splines that are so wretched looking on the FJRTech site. The splines on my bike were very nicely lubed, and so were the driven splines in the pumpkin. My thought is maybe someone at Yamaha has been reading these threads and made corrections along the way. Also, I sprayed the shaft with Boeshield T-9 as a rust preventive measure. It works wonders on my cast iron tablesaw tops, and won't pick up dirt like grease will. Bottom line, those of us with newer models can breathe a little easier when reading about all the 'gotchas' from the older bikes. Guess Yamaha made most of their mistakes on Gen 1s. :P [/QUOTE]
