Hello, and welcome to our guide on changing the shaft drive oil on a Yamaha FJR 1300. Regular maintenance of your motorcycle is crucial for optimal performance and longevity. Today, we'll walk you through the step-by-step process of changing the shaft drive oil to keep your FJR 1300 running smoothly.

Step 1: Gather Necessary Tools and Materials
Before we begin, let's ensure we have all the tools and materials we need:

A new shaft drive oil filter
The appropriate type and amount of shaft drive oil (refer to your owner's manual)
A socket wrench with the correct size socket (16mm)
A drain pan
Disposable gloves (Preferable)
Clean rags or paper towels

Step 2: Prepare Your Workspace
Park your Yamaha FJR 1300 on a flat, stable surface and allow the engine to cool down if it's been running. Make sure you have enough room to work around the motorcycle comfortably.

Step 3: Locate the Shaft Drive Oil Drain Plug
The shaft drive oil drain plug is typically located on the bottom of the final drive housing. It may be secured with a bolt or a hexagonal nut, depending on the model year of your FJR 1300.

Step 4: Drain the Old Shaft Drive Oil
Place the drain pan beneath the shaft drive oil drain plug to catch any oil that spills. Using the socket wrench, loosen and remove the drain plug. Allow the old oil to drain completely into the drain pan.

Step 5: Remove the Shaft Drive Oil Filter
Once the old oil has drained, locate the shaft drive oil filter. It is usually located near the drain plug. Using the socket wrench, carefully loosen and remove the filter. Be prepared for some residual oil to drain out.

Step 6: Put the bottom drain bolt back and tighten it.
Before installing the new shaft drive oil gasket washer, ensure a proper seal. Then, carefully thread the new filter into place by hand. Once it's snug, give it an additional quarter-turn to secure it.

Step 7: Refill with Fresh Shaft Drive Oil
Using a funnel, pour the recommended amount of fresh shaft drive oil into the shaft drive oil filler opening. Refer to your owner's manual for the correct oil type and quantity.

Step 8: Reinstall the Drain Plug
Once you've refilled the shaft drive with oil, clean the drain plug and inspect the sealing washer for any damage. Then, thread the drain plug back into place and tighten it securely using the socket wrench.

Step 9: Check for Leaks and Clean Up
With everything back in place, visually inspect the area around the drain plug and oil filter for any signs of leaks. Wipe down any spilled oil with a clean rag or paper towels to prevent it from dripping onto the ground.

Step 10: Test Ride and Final Check
Before taking your Yamaha FJR 1300 out for a ride, start the engine and let it idle for a few minutes to allow the new oil to circulate.

Conclusion:
Congratulations! You've successfully changed the shaft drive oil on your Yamaha FJR 1300. Performing this maintenance task regularly will help keep your motorcycle in top condition and ensure smooth and reliable performance on the road.
