[QUOTE="FJJ'sR, post: 556230, member: 17523"] Okay I looked at the link. I see that there's Yamaha Shaft Drive Gear Oil SAE 80W-90 API Service GL-4, GL-5. And then there's Yamaha Drive Shaft Gear Oil (part #: 9079E-SH001-00) which states on the bottle: "By using special synthetic additives, improve & protect heat-resistant pinion gear for dynamic sports touring FJR1300." I conclude that 80W-90 oil is okay. But what about the, "special synthetic additives, improve & protect heat-resistant pinion gear"? I believe this oil has been referred to as, "Whale Jizz" before on this forum. Is there a special synthetic additive that's necessary for the FJR, or is this marketing hype? Thanks for all the input!
