DutchFJ1200

Pffff As for warp 8 today without 'stuck-on' 'bluetacked' speedo's .......................... topped out at 130 on the way back gents. Good ride.

What ..... come again !! looked at this a couple of times and can only see your needle pegged at Zero. So you say that if you're tearing along at warp 7 ....... then you tell the sheriff...... sorry mate my speedo is duff ..........and expect to get away with that ???? Or am I dim and missing a trick here? Off tomorrow to head office in Brixham again .................A30 + A38, here I come............. at warp 8

Although your speedo was duff I had a look myself this afternoon : you're just touching 6K revs tops which translates to a whisker over a ton. Yup! .... too smooth

Me again As per advice from the distinguished gents on this forum IIRC : better to go V-Power i.e. the spensive stuff to avoid deterioration of carburetor seals, thingamabobs/whatchamacallits due to the higher content of ethanol in the cheap stuff. See I know all the expensive words ......... Edit : an FJ don't like 'sitting' in traffic ....... full stop !!!

Welcome to the club How long will it last without proper cooling ? dunno never ever done circles in a carpark :-) See you have an import as well. I have just cracked 100K (Km) and going strong. Second what Slice said, although I still haven't gotten round to signing up to the FJ-club

I would imagine some automotive blue Hylomar sealant would do the trick.

Did you source the part in Germany? Then the closest I get is : http://www.dat.de/home.html DAT Deutsche Automobil Treuhand GmbH This is somesort of Nationwide (Europwide) information portal for the German automotive industry.

Yup, both my bikes imported from Holland (650/250) and now the 1200 from Belgium, prior to mot just tape off the right pointing prism.

Bom Dia, They can have both I think. DOHC simply refers to Double OverHead Camshaft. YICS refers to Yamaha's (for the time) revolutionary Yamaha Induction Control System that most if not all XJ's came with. I can't comment if one came before the other but I'm certain the anoraks will chime in soon Pretty bike btw.

That's a slippery comment ............. get it .... slippery.... lubricate? .... gets coat

Gentlemen, Gentlemen, It's a bloody film quote. Cloggieland has nothing to do with it.

Y'know, I've noticed an infestation here. Everywhere I look, in fact. Nothing but undeveloped, unevolved, barely conscious pond scum, totally convinced of their own superiority as they scurry about their short, pointless lives. You idiots! You don't get it - I've won! It's over! You're milksuckers! You don't matter! In fact, in just a few seconds you won't even BE matter!

Oh no Nathaniel ......... Got it on vinyl .... good call

This thread has got legs

Not discounting what you say Kev but hitting the cr*p out of the bottom of an oil pan ? Angle grind two good flat edges on opposite sides of the fubared nut and a big (close fitting) shifter will do the rest.

I have been reliably informed there's life Norf of the Watford Gap ............................. but not as we know it Jim @ Slice .... me dunno what they get upto there either .....

You been on the sauce already today ???

For a quick fix see if you can get your hands one one of those vacuum oil scavenging pumps. Warm up oil, tube down the fill hole, suck, suck, suck, for the last bit lean bike over a bit. May not get all the gremlins from the bottom of the pan but better than running with oil past its shelf life. Gives you options to think how to tackle the shot plug

Hahahahaha .... that's 'kin funny........ they sure aint now

Huh ...... waddabout me

England are the fifth most valuable squad at the Euros according to the calculations of transfermarkt.co.uk. Roy Hodgson’s side would set you back £334.5m should you wish to have them all sign for your club. Raheem Sterling is the Three Lions’ most valuable player with an estimated market value of £37.5m. He’s followed by Wayne Rooney (£30m), Harry Kane (£22.5m) and John Stones (also £22.5m) Iceland: 31.2 Ahum disclaimer : I don't like the Clogs either ..... lol

Read somewhere Roy is good for £4.5 mil/year ........... the Icelandic coach is part time and a dentist. ...... as for the overpaid prima donna's ...... best not go there me thinks.

Lovely looking bike and it helps if you know what you doing ...... and have the gear Nice project.
