[QUOTE="Pterodactyl, post: 1411509, member: 76805"] I believe it just may be that this was less a recommendation than it was a fiat from their CFO. Most riders, including FJR riders are not much like the riders you see on this and other forums. I know three other FJR owners here in podunk Montana. None of them have a clue about working on their bike and no interest in learning. They are not on forums and probably never will be. Maintenance to them is something you pay other pepole to do when the bike will not run. I know dozens of BMW riders here as well. Some do their own maintenance, but in general thay are also maintenance ignorant. A simple change in a bike's maintenance schedule can have significant financial ramifications for the dealerships and manufacturer. As in most any other operation, in a corporation one need only to follow the money to know why decisions are made. [/QUOTE]
