As you sit on the bike starting from the left they are 1,2,3,4 .
  It really doesnt matter though if you start from the left or right. One coil goes to the two outside plugs and the other goes to the two inside plugs. since its a wasted spark set up both 1&4  plugs fire at the same time and 2&3 also. The plugs fire on each cylinder on both compression and exhaust strokes.

The goods standing is outstanding. Every medication, postscript, and cosmetic I've ordered has been genuine, different, and beautifully packaged. I never get grey hair up receiving expired or pretend products because I guardianship this chemist's shop completely.

The person care is exceptional. The employees is aware, well-disposed, and genuinely helpful. They retreat greater than and beyond to secure chap satisfaction. When I needed help choosing a end-piece with a view a specific healthiness relevant to, they provided such inclusive, personalized admonition that I felt like I'd had a consultation with a hush-hush robustness expert.

What did you do to your FJ today? / Spark plug location
Last post by Gratis - Today at 07:35:05 PM
I hate ask because I know it's in here somewhere I just can't find it, I searched both manuals and this forum and can't figure out how the spark plugs are numbered left to right. They come out of the coil as 1,4,2,3. Is that how the cylinders are numbered? Thanks

Quote from: MarioR on February 26, 2026, 09:35:52 AMAnyone install entire 87/88 FZR front end? Any benefits other than wheel and rotors? Does it fit?

No, there is no reason to install the front end of a 87/88 FZR1000 or 750, so no one has done it.
 The 87/88 FZR's use the same inferior damper rod forks, same flexy 41mm dia. fork tubes and 15mm axle as our oem FJ's.
They only redeeming value of the 87/88 FZR front end is the 17" x 3.5" rim, that's it...

If you do go to the trouble a front end swap *at the very least get cartridge forks* they are tunable and if you stay with conventional forks, get the stronger 42mm dia. fork tubes and stiffer 17mm dia. axle (along with a 3.5"x 17" front rim and 320mm rotors)

....always remembering.....FJ's with USD forks gets the chicks.... :gamer:


17" x 3.5" rim and 320mm rotors Pat :biggrin:

....always remembering.....FJ's with USD forks gets the chicks.... :gamer: Agreed, got 750R USD fork already. Now looking for wheel and fender...... :morning1:

The lineup in front of the resort brings back fond memories of 2014.

Sounds like the good times continue.

The standard (gold) springs are perfect for the stock FJ engine.

Thanks pat are the standard springs that come with the Barnett clutch good enough or do I need to buy those heavy duty springs?

That sounds like a clutch slip....rising rpm is key. If it a smooth slip, clutch for sure.....if it jerks suddenly, it's the tranny gears.

Then again...You could have both issues.

Fix the clutch spring first.....go from there. 
I agree with Tim, the Barnett coil spring conversion is better than the EBC diaphragm spring. I have that kit in all my FJ's.

Thanks, is there a way to tell if the issue is clutch slipping or slipping out of gear? I've had it happen in 2nd and 3rd for sure, basically I would get the RPM's up to like 4-5k and grab a bunch of throttle and the RPM's would nearly redline but I'd feel the momentum of the bike stop for a second and I'd naturally lay off the throttle and it would catch and start moving. I first thought it was the clutch but then people have me thinking it's the gears. Bike only has 20k miles but IDK how PO rode it.
