good day to everyone,

 

require some assistance, i need to find out what kind of shaft oil you all are using for the fjr?

 

checked on the uk and us forums and came across them saying to use the yamaha recommended shaft oil which is GL4 rated and also recommended in users manual.

 

there was mention that API GL 5 rated oil is not good for the metals in the fjr shaft and pinion.

 

called hong leong and was informed that they do not bring in or sell the shaft oil. They only have it in barrel for workshop use.

 

am doing run in and now getting worried that will not find the manual recommended oil.

 

please advice?

[bornfree]

thanks for last nite participants.

bornfree & his ST11 (i chased him like mad dog eh..damm fast)

I used to service my FJR @ HKL, ONLY by Ah Keong, he's had the experience of servicing my other FJR friends, 4-5 of them, before mine, for years, as they started riding it since FU-platers!

 

give him a call and say u are intro by Chris, riding the TMax and he'll know.

HKL - 6275-6656

 

 

Thanx for the info.

I go to Alan of perfection motors. He does beemers but knowledgeable in 4 strokes. The beemer thread alot of pple recommend him too. But thats not how I got to know about him.

 

Between HL and PM, I'll rather go for the latter cuz i had some bad experience at HL. And they charge almost the same.

 

But try to DIY simple jobs like engine oil + filter, air filter, shaft oil, brake pads, battery and even your hydraulic fluids (with some tools). It can safe you alot of $$$.

 

I go to PM for TBS, spark plugs, coolant, tire change and fork oil change.

 

If you want a cheaper option, can try Meng Tong. But he no longer at Looi's. Rumour has it that he's at motoworld so I dunno how they charge now.

 

Thax for the info. Btw, what to service at 20k mileage?

This time must come in full face liao...I came in open hemlet with tinted visor. ended up a choke from helmet to follow the speed...

U are a fast rider...i like...

 

 

Speed is not really fast la...but i should say its a maintain speed...That's the way of big bikes riding...

ok... where can I get it locally? I've seen it on the net. If about $200 a pair, then front and back shld cost ard $400. I hope its a good investment for the bike....

i bought it thru this guy who advertises in SBF, as being the "distributor" of MOtovation parts. its actually $180 for 1 pair of sliders + the brackets (very well-made brackets i muz say). but bcos the sliders too short, i say i wan to change to the longer ones, muz top-up another $20, thus total= $200

 

talking abt whether they are good/practical? very subjective, ultimately depends on how the bike has fallen.... nonetheless, i still "feel" better having them on.....

 

haha, FYI my current ride is the one on my Avatar!!
