Today I had the shop put on a new Michelin 5 on my FJR rear wheel.
Three years ago, at about 5,600 miles, I took off the original and put on a Michelin 4.
Since then, the bike has gone 10,800 miles.
FJRs are notorious for not having any lube from the factory on their U-joints and splines near the engine, so three years ago I lubed them up good with Honda moly.
Almost all of the miles over the last three years have been to Reno and back in Sept, with one trip to Spearfish in the mix when the NT broke. All the lubed points look like I just did them today. I hardly ever ride in the rain. I dont think I am a hard rider.....(brake pads look great)
