[QUOTE="RossKean, post: 1367069, member: 19880"] Got it out for a half hour run. I would say there has been a 90% improvement. It is, perhaps, to the point where I might not notice it if I was not looking for it. It may get better or I may eventually have to see if Fred is still looking to unload his low mileage set of used disks from his '14. It is a high mileage clutch and having to replace wear items (friction disks) at this stage wouldn't be a surprise. [B]I checked my oil change records and I either forgot to write down the last one or I missed it[/B]! I was getting close to due for the next change, within the next week or so anyway. There is a possibility that this oil had 9,000 miles on it instead of 4,000. While that wouldn't disturb me if it was on a long highway trip, this was mostly short distance day trips last fall and this spring. (Normally, the oil would have been changed and recorded at 5,000 miles or within 1,000 miles of when the bike was going to be put away for the winter) Mind you, I have forgotten to write down maintenance stuff before and have had to add to the records with estimated mileage a week or two later. This shall remain a mystery. I'll give it a couple of weeks (and do the hydraulic fluid too) before I call it cured. I have had old beater cars that told me when they needed fresh oil (noisy top end) so maybe the FJR can tell me when its time to change as well. I will go back to synthetic after this. [/QUOTE]
