My 86 fj-1200 gets really hot after riding for only 20 minutes or so so hot it I cant rest my knees on the sides of the bike. does this sound like I need a new oil pump or maybe an oil cooler.its hard to tell when im riding but i can faintly hear a ticking,I'm assuming its my lifters,but I dont know much about mechanics.does anyone have any advice it would be greatly appreciated

    Hi

    It could be lots of reasons, the FJ1200 runs hot anyway but I suggest a good service, oil & Filter change aswell as getting the carbs Synched in, you might also want to check the plugs to see if it's running lean or rich.

    Depending on the condition that you are running the bike , you might like to consider a lighter oil.

    The 1200 engine is prone to a tick from the engine !

    Adam.
