[QUOTE="SkooterG, post: 1457195, member: 118"] You're a glutton for punishment aren't you? Having owned many FJRs over several hundred thousand miles.......... At the first tire change, or sooner I: - Lube the driveshaft and splines and both front and rear axles. - Lube all the suspension linkage bearings except for the really difficult one. Yamaha really skimps on the grease and I have found that an ounce of prevention here is worth of pound of cure. The hard one to get to is not as exposed to the weather so I put that one off to deal with another day. Adding some good moly, and/or waterproof grease to all the other linkage bearings should nullify problems down the road. While at it, lube the rear brake lever pivot. Grease the clutch and front brake levers. Are you due for brake/clutch fluid flush and bleed? If so, install speedbleeders. And get there nifty old fluid bag. [/QUOTE]
