[QUOTE="tripletango, post: 54118, member: 509"] I agree with you 100%! As you say changing oil more often must be better! All of the miles I put on the FJR are journies of hundreds of miles. No short trips and no real flogging (except when!!!). The bike is so fast you don't need to use but maybe 75% of the performance normally so no big stress on the motor. Sometimes I let it go further up to 4500 miles with synthetic oil because the bike is not stressed. I am pretty sure it is not an oiling problem that is causing the noise. It is far too intermittant. My engine is totally quiet with no unusual mechanical noises at 15,000 miles. Sewing machine quiet. Beautiful! Almost all the time! [/QUOTE]
