[QUOTE="Canadian FJR, post: 822348, member: 1223"] The only reason that I removed the rear pumpkin is beacuse I started to experience random leaks. The first was after an endurance rally, lots of steady miles at slighgtly higher average speed. I checked the gear oil level and all was well so I cleaned the rim up and life was good. A couple of times after there were some slight splatters but never anything serious. It seemed to only leak after a longer or harder than normal ride. Makes sense. I am waiting for a respnse from the Yamaha Canada Tech but I am 99% sure that the groove is not suppose to be there. The replacement price is $159.99 Cdn and it is on back order. I can get one from the States for $99.99 plus shipping. Fortunately this is down time for the FJR so I'm in no rush but I am still a little baffled as to how/why this has not been discovered by other folks with more miles. I only have 147,000 km on the bike and as mentioned, I always use the proper Yamalube juice. Ross, where did you find one for $85.00? Canadian FJR [/QUOTE]
