"Damn, my final drive oil is leaking through a hole at the swing arm. Anyone had this problem before? Especially the older FJRs?

Hi there, mine cost around 23.2K for machine price (with COE) alone. Plus all the extras like insurance, transfer fee, road tax, GST, etc, it comes to about 25K plus.

 

I did notice an advert in SBF itself selling a '04 model for 16K around May this year. It looked awesome with alot of accessories, but I didn't have cash then and it was troublesome having to source for my own finance, otherwise I might have taken that one.

 

Oohh... SHiit... stop it stop it.. I can't hold it man...

 

I still looking ard and can't make a decision.

lucky u hv get ur self an 06'

that is proven that 06' & above works better then 05' & below :cry:

& remember i thing all my FJR fellows, this bike is a working horse, is not a race horse. So pls don't intend to use it to outrun a sportbikes.

don't believe go try with busa, sure will kena left right up down center

 

mine is an '08 model bro, not '06.

 

I agree with you that its not advisable to use this bike to race, but rather to enjoy the power & comfort. One thing I noticed is that the heat is really quite terok. I knew that FJRs generally release alot of heat, but today I realised its not advisable for both rider & pillion to use slippers/sandals. Shoes are the best. When the bike stops at a traffic light, the heat is pretty strong.

 

But nevertheless, its still an awesome ride!

I saw a silver FJR at woodlands today. FW5764. I thought it might be someone from this forum, but after checking the list, saw that the number is not there

[AspMonK]

wats the difference 06, 07 & 08? any special feature?

The differences are very minor. Different colours too. Maybe at our next meet-up can compare and see what the difference is. I know '06 model got gold colour, which '07 & '08 don't have. '08 models don't have the maroon one which '07 has.

The '08 model advertised on the website has the clutchless system, but the machines that have been brought in do not carry that system. I asked the guy at HL when I went to fit my side-boxes abt it, and he said the FJR models coming to this part of the world do not have that system, and only those going to USA, UK & Australia have it coz of the nature of their long roads (I argued that we also have the NSH to play on!). That system is meant for long-haul rides with minimal stoppages, unlike our situation in traffic-light infested Spore. He also added that I'm much better off without it coz the cost of repairs for any faults in the clutchless system is very high. Any faults would mean the entire system has to be changed and not just particular parts.

 

There are quite a few places bringing it in now. You can try Mah Motors also. I got mine from Everbright at Eunos.

Hmmm....

Thats weird....

An email correspondence I had with HL revealed that they bringing the 08 with the new system in Feb 08....

I guess I'll drop by personally to enquire....

Otherwise, it will be fruitless for me to wait till Feb to get my long awaited FJR.......

hehe....

Gotta get used to the heat.

Now can wear slippers cos weather cooling nowadays.

 

Passed by a TP road block last night while on my way home, was worried will kena 'F' for wearing improper attire but wat to do? Nowadays keep raining and raining, all my covered shoes are wet!

[DiabolicZero]

I've taken a look at the parts catalogue. There's an oil seal and o-ring. The mating surface no gasket one. Its quite a clever design actually. The hole is meant to let the oil leak out if the o-ring is worn so that you will know.

 

I check with auto for the parts tmr. Sianz... Den I'll go find my mechanic.

 

Bro..the part number should be 214-11198-01 (Drain Plug Washer).

Bought a few from AM in Jul 06 but didnt manage to use all till now cos mechanic says never leak, no need waste money. Mine so far ok leh.

Oh ya..per piece is S$1.50 only nia.

[surfnsplash]

yup yup, now I get to feel first-hand why u guys love ur FJRs so much. Its awesome

 

Just need to get used to the extra-large rear. Have to keep reminding myself not to try and squeeze between vehicles like I used to with my Super4.

 

Dun worry, you'll get use to it....

[surfnsplash]

Anyone know where is the bike shop 'southern'? Heard from one of my frens that a lot of FJRs went to service there.... anyone of you sevice there?

Very true. Even Australia's long roads can't fight with our NSH. Sure the highways are so long that the name changes in between, BUT, the highways have to go through towns and traffic lights too!

Nvm lah. I know whats wrong liao. Thanx.

Mine is not leaking from there. If you look under your swing arm near the hub side, you see a hole. Its meant to drain off your hub oil if it manages to leak to your shaft housing. Otherwise, your entire shaft housing will be flooded with oil and worst, you wouldn't even know your final drive oil is depleting.

Review for the clutchless system isn't good. They say its jerky at low speed. Imagine you cant half clutch control while making a tight u-turn.... I doubt they have enhance the system for 08.
