[QUOTE="#Rocket, post: 1455516, member: 98498"] Seeing some posts about using high mileage or non-motorcycle oils. Be aware that non-motorcycle oils have friction modifiers that will ruin the FJR clutch (wet clutches are a commonly used motorcycle design). Best bet is to use JASO certified oil. Low cost excellent synthetic for this purpose is Shell Rotella T6 15w-40 (appropriate viscosity for Gen2 FJR). Mobil 1 should only be used if it is specifically formulated for motorcycles with wet clutch (they do make it and it is expensive). Same for Amzoil or any other...only use motorcycle specific oil.
