[QUOTE="Tmaken2157, post: 1430346, member: 92648"] I have been a fan of the fjr since the first time i saw one back in 2003. But it was not to be until last month when i found a good used bike with low miles for a 2007. So now its in my garage waiting for the nys dmv to approve my registration request. So to past the time We get acquainted by installing lowering links from soupies and watching how to videos from you tube. I was surprised to learn that Yamaha actually does not adequately grease certain suspention elements during assembly. Thanks to twowheelobsession for the heads up. I took the rear wheel off and yup right there no grease on the axle or drive shaft. 24 k on the odometer with no grease. Great huh. I suspect the swing arm is also dry. Not looking forward to that job. I would have suspected better from yamaha than that. You all should be checking your rides. [/QUOTE]
