Title: Have some questions about this FJ1200
Post by: tegwin on October 01, 2013, 06:20:51 PM
Well, I can guarentee you have HAVE seen this run through here before!




Hi, my name is Tim, I am 23, and I race at the "WORLD FAMOUS SWAMP BUGGY RACES!"

-sigh- what a pain in the back side this racing is haha


BUT here is my buggy, (http://i723.photobucket.com/albums/ww240/maverick_124/1239209_10202118636790400_1371384130_o_zpsb4009bea.jpg)


It has a FJ 1200 motor in it, the vin is 3SK, what ever that means haha I know my yamaha virago TR-1 vin but idk where I found that information at...


I need to know a lot of stuff about this motor for my buggy haha so I will be creeping around the forum for a little while learning the limits of the motor, about big bore kit(s) and everything else I can find!


Looking forward to talking with you guys/gals

I would suggest the RPM oil cooler and spin-on oil filter adapter first for you engine. Randy @ RPM rebuilds FJ engines for bikes and Legends race cars.

It has a oil cooler already, it also has 38mm carbs. But apparently only runs on 2 cylinders when it gets hot? I will talk to the guy, thanks :)
