    FJ1200 1990 - just bought one

    If you have a fluid leak then new seals are not going to cure the problem if you have already done it, the bore wears on the cylinder and the only way to cure it is to replace eh clutch slave cylinder, FJ club does them, for about £30 I think, they also do an uprated seal kit which I used but if it's gone to far then replacement is the only option.

    Then this>http://www.fjcatalogue.com/catalog/item/7309025/10277777.htmb a used bike they are breaking with a spare clutch slave cylinder for £40. A new one is £140 so bit of a bargain!

    You don't have to take the faring off to get at the cable, take the tank off and it's right there? In fact everything is right there, best part about this bike is that most of the time you just need to rotate the tank 90 degrees and you can reach most everything you need to service it. Buy a new fuel filter if you can and replace that (bottom of tank) then check the slow running screw in the middle of the carbs, give it a shot of WD40 or some such, especially right up to the end of the thread, don't forget to also lube the spring and actuator as they get crusty and make the engine slow to drop the revs.

    It will get hot and you will sweat your balls off BUT as soon as you open it's throat you'll forget all about hot cold or even if your breathing ! As Dutch say's they are a sweet ride and probably the most torquey bike I have ever ridden, your going to enjoy the next month or so and going home will make you feel sad. It's never going to handle like a 125 or 600 but it's surprisingly easy to filter with, narrow and flickable, I miss my old bus.

    Going to use the M/Way, I know it's boring but as I have no idea where I'm going it's best to get the worst out of the way so I can spend a couple of hours finding my hotel! Would like to meet up tho but have no idea when I'm going to get there. Planning to leave home about 10 o/clock so 3-4 hours to get there?

    We've all been there mate, Sunday is supposed to be the most dangerous day to drive anywhere in the UK. Use your HORN as well if they get a bit close don't wave and shout just blast your horn till they see you, when in doubt make a noise.

    Loose connection Noise, starter relay click is what you can hear and it's either not enough charge or a buggered relay, check your connections especially the ones under the tank.

    Just had a thought of something you could try, bridge across the terminal on the starter motor to the engine (dead short) and that should wind the motor over, just so you can see if the motor is working properly.

    HI Muz welcome to the YOC, sorry mate but we're not allowed to give out copyrighted info, the site owner (in Aus) will have a fit if we do, but just a question, do you have the manual for the bike Clymer or Haynes? If you don't then get one it will have all you need to get the bike sorted. But you could just search Google and see if there's one on there. ;)
