Before my Fj1200s most recent demise i have been troubled by the sound of what is possibly the cam chain or i have been told the starter chain was wondering if anyone can tell me the bike is high mileage over 80,000 miles with 20 odd previous owners on the v5 lol is the noise a sign of imminent motor death ??
Heres the video on you tube https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiYedXs1qbg (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PiYedXs1qbg)
I have not even listened to the video...
The cam chain cannot make noise, it is held under constant & consistent tension by the spring loaded tensioner. In all of my years, I have never seen a tensioner that has ever been fully extended allow the chain to make noise.
The starter chain has no tension and can make noise if the RPM's are too low and the chain gets to whipping in the case. Make sure the idle is 1100 RPM
The other source of noise if the clutch pack. If you pull in the clutch and the noise goes away then that is the noise.
None of these are imminent death of the FJ, they will make the noise forever...
Plus, do not forget about the header pipe breaking internally, just as Pat...
I'll listen to the video later from my computer at home
Randy - RPM
From your video, it's clear that your bike has been "Punished"!!!

Nope, not that....he has a '87
Sounds like a starter chain, with the revs up the noise is gone, as the engine lugs the noise is worse. Make sure you have the idle set close to 1100 RPM, like Randy said, it keeps the chain from slapping the internals.

How does one really know?
We cannot really see the pipe in the video as they go past pretty quickly. Who is to say that they might not be double walled tubing...?
Those tubes look pretty big. The sounds seem to coincide with the engine miss as well.
It sounds really "tinny" and not deep enough to be a starter chain.
Randy - RPM
The double wall pipes were on the '84-'85 FJ's. '86 on, they had the single wall (painted) stainless head pipes.
Looks to me to be a crusty Supertrapp exhaust (single wall)

I know what years the pipe were double wall, but I am saying there is no way to know what some of the previous "20 odd owners" might have done over the years and it looks big to me.
HL&S, can you measure the tubing so we can determine if is could be the early style double wall, a single wall O.E. or aftermarket header.
It still sounds "tinny" to me.
Also, I would be interested in seeing a clear picture of the forks where the anti-dive used to be attached
Randy - RPM
I occasionally get a chain noise, upon startup, during winter months [meaning a colder engine, 20-35 degrees from overnight] coming from the left side of the motor. Once warmed a little, it goes away or with slightly higher revs it goes away. [84-1100] Which chain is that? thanx
I notice on the video (looking at the rev counter) that she's only ticking over at 500 - 800 rpm. So, in my unprofessional opinion, as Mr. Monkey says, the revs need to be upped on tickover to a minimum of 1100/1200 rpm. It sounds like the engine is slapping the chain around.
You couild hear the noise go away when you just gave it a tiny increase of revs.
To adjust the tickover - look at the back of the engine and below the carbs. You'll see a large knurled screw sticking out. Turniong it out will slow the bike down, and turning it in will increase the tickover. This does all 4 carbs in one go (linked) so no need to fart about with individual settings.
Up the tickover to just over the "1" mark on the rev counter and report back!
Oh - have you checked the oil levels too? If there's little oil there then top it up to the level indicated on the lower large casing on the bikes RHS.
I put a heavier oil in mine to quieten it down a bit (they recommend 10/40) but I use TSX 20/50 with no ill effects. It is a Mineral oil, and not semi synthetic.
Oh, and still come back with the measurrements that Randy requested. This helps to rule out all possibilities. Best of luck.
I will say I have seen on my personal FJ the tensioner very close to fully extended as most of the rubber tip had broken off. There was very limited contact area with the tensioner blade as well secondary to chunking.
^ or an aftermarket "upgrade" manual tensioner installed, and then never adjusted properly.
And to add to above: Turn your idle up to where it's supposed to be, and I'll wager a fair amount of the noise goes away. What's left will undoubedly be the starter chain flopping about. Wonder why there isn't a little spring-loaded doohickey on the guide for that one...
turn your idle up as recommended by others. noise will subside .
nothing to worry about , they all do it at low rpm.
Its the skulls that are making that noise.... :shout: get them the hell off of there.....she ain't no Hardley.....(sounds like it the way its idling though)....
Oh and turn up your idle like everyone else says...
HTH's...Cheers..Jake

I agree....... get rid of the skulls, mine had a few small skull stickers. They were removed in very short order.
Yes, bring the idle up. I also noticed, IMO the tinny noise seemed louder at the right side, front of the engine. I am in agreement with Randy. Good possibility of having the early 2 layer headers. I can't think of anything else that would make noise that pronounced at the front of the engine.
Fred
Get rid of the skulls?
But they are the equivilent of "go faster stripes" on a car. I have touring stickers on my panniers, and I swear they add an extra 0.5mph to the ride.
Skull stickers are cheaper than FJ1200 alarm systems. Looking at the bike, you automatically think "this ain't no pyjama wearing purist!" - so don't even think about nicking it cos the owner may be a 6ft 12" grizzly dude with knuckles dragging on the ground.
I like them! Leave em on!
Oh - and as for pyjama wearing FJ riders? ADD ME TO THE RANKS.
I bought me a set of matching red n white Kangaroo leathers. Jacket, trousers AND red n' white race boots.
Why I don't know, cos I don't do performance!
If I could get this bloody picture thing sorted, I'd post a pic of them. But, instead, you'll all have to go to my flickr page. Theres new pics of the bike in minus temperatures and full K2 Kit!
One more attempt....

For the love of god, can we have an easier way to insert pictures. This has gone on since as long as I can remember. Some folk can do it, whilst there are more out there that can't - and I'm one of them.
Yes, it's been explained time and time again. But we still can't grasp it.
I try and try (I'm not completely thick. 3/4 yes, but not totally)
I tried again with the "my gallery" thing. And nothing. It really is frustrating to the point of getting a nose-bleed over it!
Can we just have what the majority of websites have? That is: an attatchment button at the bottom, with a "browse system" for the pictures from our computer. Include a Max file size, and we can shrink to fit before posting. That is a hell-of-a-lot easier....and quicker.
And then, if moderators don't agree with the content, they can remove it. Obviously NO tits, bums or anything rude.
Ta muchly. And on behalf of all the other techo thickets out there.
Me.

ok - I used the insert image thing (y'know. (http://))
And inbetween it, I first used the "grab link" and pasted it between the img bits.
THEn, I did the same with the img thing, and this time usewd the flickrs "grab BBcode", and copied and pasted THAT between the img.
Got text this time, still no instant image.
I give up, admit defeat, and curse this bloody technology.................. :sorry:
it looks to me as if you have disabled sharing on your pictures...... once you enable that then you just use the drop down box that says other ways of sharing and there is a link displayed that you just copy and paste directly to your post here. no need to add anything just the link straight from flickr to your post... photobucket works the exact same way.
KOokaloo!
Hello Mr Racerman - the sharing option is there with the box at the top. I click and it drops down to say "share with...facebook/twitter/email etc"
Below that is "grab link", and thats what I did for the 1st post. Nothin happened.
And below that is share with....grab HTML/BB code.. "just copy and paste this" and job done/ Erm...not so.
Into Flickr account settings. Who can see? anyone - everything is opened up, nothing hidden (apart from my email address and real name, which is Sandra if you must know). Share pics? yes. As said. Bah humbug and in the huff now.
Sorry - this thread is way off topic now caused by me.
If i test some more, I shall do it in general discussion and mark it as TEST PIC

I tried in bursts for 2 years without success to post photos, would get the shits and give up for a while then revisit it and the get the ............... and so on. I spent whole nights on it, re reading the instructions until I was blue in the face and even bluer in language.
It was only made worse by everyone saying it was a no brainer.
I finally stumbled across the sequence almost by accident. There was one vital step that no one seemed to have mentioned.
I will just check the sequence to make sure I miss nothing and post it for you.
I just tried the share box a minute ago "just grab the link blah, blah, blah" it doesn't work for me either. (Flickr)

Dave,
You worry too much, you make yourself sad.
You can't change fate, so don't feel so bad.
Enjoy it while you can, it's just like the weather.
Quit complaining brother, no one lives forever!
Let's have a party, there's a full moon in the sky.
It's the hour of the wolf, and I don't want to die.
I'm so happy dancing while the grim reaper
Cuts, cuts, cuts
But he can't get me.

We've only got so many tricks.

But, I shall follow my PMs advice, and give that a go. Thanks. Mr. Anonymous. No names mentioned. Down under. Makes a noise like a frog. Aww shit...too much info. He's been revealed.
Bugga.
People smuggling? If I could get BIGGER boxes fitted, then yes! - I'd consider funerals too (midgets only) and renting the side cases out as one bedroom apartments to all the bloody immigrants that come over here. :mad: But, unfortunately, Krauser didn't make em any bigger than that (42 litre).
And me dog? How big? it's just a tea-cup chihuahua. Don't let the feeding dishes fool you. They're MINE.

Okay my bad. However in my defense I only wanted to get your bike up so others could appreciate it. I knew you'd figure it out with the help of others and since I use photobucket I figured I wasn't going to be any help in loading pictures. My method for getting your photos up was to take a screen shot and save the file to photobucket and link them to that. Not really helpful in your situation. I apologize if I added to your frustration.

hehehe....Don't let them bug you Dave. (or is that Eddie Lawson Under that suit?) That power ranger's suit could save your hide some day. Good on ya for getting it and make sure ya wear it. DAMHIK.....
Cheers...Jake
:mail1: LOL - Jake.
Yeah, I do wear it on long runs, but feel a bit of a tit going to the shops in it - so, just wear the jacket with black leather lowers instead for the bread n' milk run. The boots were thrown in as part of the deal, and I really cant see me wearing them much. I think a black pair of touring boots would be better.
The last thing I need when out on a run is to get stopped again, off the bike, by a mom and her kid asking if the little one can get a photo of her and the "spaceman". It was funny and embarrasing. I went away singing Elton Johns "rocketman".
I've retained some of my youth tho (and rebellious attitude), and hang onto my black visor till the feds physically confiscate my lid! Makes kids stare at you when you drive past, and scares the shit out of car drivers when you pull up alongside, and then look directly at them through the visor. They lose "eye contact" immedietly. Some double take, and then look away. Black visors are highly illegal here in the UK, and I luv it. (Do have me Arai Quantum F with clear lens in the background)
Anyhoo - the suit is a race suit afterall, and as y'all know by now....I ain't no racer. Whilst I may dream of being Eddie Lawson, I don't ride like him! My looney days of peg scraping and sparks from the centre stand are long over!
At least with being Kangaroo hide, if I DO fall off, I should in theory "bounce like Skippy" along the road instead. (Skippy was the name of a TV series from Australia back in the 1980s - Skippy being the Kangaroo version of "Lassie".)
who'd of thunk it,, 2 two monkey ranger powder puff dudes, , all good mate, she'll be right :biggrin: we'll just have to learn to duck twice as much, , extra poo being flung and all, , just hope you ,like the rest of us leather clad freaks never get the chance to test out the gears abrasion resistance,, other than skuffing it up, it dousnt stop the carpet burn, , where can i buy kevlar sleeves from :sorry:
I'm waiting to see someone on here wearing a set of matching leathers with pink stripe down the sleeve and leg.
I mean - you can order custom made leathers...so surely, someone has to take the plunge and order up a set? They can't look that bad, can they?
I think if I DO come off the bike wearing the Kangaroo hide, it won't protect me as much as the buffalo hide black stuff I normally wear.
Kangaroo is tougher on abrasion than normal hide, which is fine for sliding down a smooth track, with no traffic coming atcha at high speed, and no telegraph poles or trees to slam into. Just grass and piled up rubber tyres (ok, theres more too it than that). Personally, I reckon on the actual highway, with flora and fauna, it'll just disintigrate!
The only advantage I have found so far, is the weight difference. I don't wanna test them out if I can help it, but If I do, and I live to tell the tale, then after they sew my arse back on, I'll report back.
"Awwwwwww shiiiiiit.....oh look.....sky-grass, sky-grass, sky-grass, TRUCK...sky-grass, VAN....close look at tarmac.....grass....fencepost....barbed wire.......cows......."
hmmm monkey ranger seems to be the local trend setter,, maybe we should pass the hat around and have him fitted out in pink stripe leathers :biggrin:,, your right about the kanga hide, see the gp guys take a decent slide, without there arse hanging out, but not a guide post or pot hole in sight, , oh and if you must mention skippy, do it quietly,, or the bastards will start showing re,runs again for the next ten years,, aww gee skip, 3 guys with chainsaws are cutting all the gum trees down, how will i call you now :biggrin:

Dave, if they were made of inch thick elephant hide they still wouldn't do much for you hitting a tree, oncoming vehicle or telegraph pole.

Too late, stay up late enough and you'll find it's on TV at the moment.
Quoteif they were made of inch thick elephant hide they still wouldn't do much for you hitting a tree, oncoming vehicle or telegraph pole.
Oh I dunno about that. I mean, have you seen an angry elephant charging at a safari vehicle? Or slamming through the African bush, knocking trees down left right and centre?
I've never seen an elephant in the emergency room getting HIS arse sewn back on after going head to head with a land-rover...and you never see one dead at the side of the road either. Kangaroos on the other hand......
Hmmm..ok, I haven't seen an elephant actually ride a bike into oncoming traffic. But if I did, then I bet his ass would be scuff free.
Can you imagine making leathers outa these hides? It would be bike rider: 1.......Car: written off.
Yep Steve, I confirm that sighting. Such a waste of a great talent.

And me dog? How big? it's just a tea-cup chihuahua. Don't let the feeding dishes fool you. They're MINE.
Here is a way for you to take your dog along with you without have to use a sidehack.
