Parts Available and/or For Sale / BRAND NEW EBC REAR FJ ROTOR
Last post by KBLFJ1200 - August 19, 2025, 04:25:01 PM
I have a brand new EBC MD2068 rear rotor for the FJ and other Yamahas as well.  $125.00 firm.  I will ship for a fee but prefer local cash pick up.  Cashiers check/Money Order as I don't do the ripoff money transfers such as venmo or paypal.  I have had a recent disaster in my life so please don't make an offer.  Also the phone number is a landline so no messaging please call for questions.  Located in SoCal.  I have put a post below for more fitment and pricing, or just go to Ebay and put in MD2068 EBC.  Randy or Mark Montgomery can verify my honesty.  Thanks for looking.

Thanks very much for the links and info. The extra filter looks beautifully made. Unfortunately, as I'm in the UK buying from RPM is prohibitive, as shipping is just too much.
If you know the pipe IDs I'd be grateful.

Robert, I suspect his problem is not the clutch, as Travis pointed out, but the transmission. I posted a link above detailing this fix.

The clutch can be serviced by removing the clutch cover. The cases do not need to be split for this.

Thanks TLegg didn't know that, I have had it happen in 3rd, was just cruising and layed into the throttle a bit and it felt like power cut out for a second so I thought the clutch was slipping. I'm assuming the engine would need to come out and split the case in order to change those out? Or can that be done just by pulling out the clutch?

. Also if I really lay into it it feels like the clutch can't hold the power for a second or so..

that is the classic symptom of a second gear problem. It's not the clutch slipping its the transmission jumping out of gear under hard acceleration then dropping back in. Over time it will get progressively worse happening at lighter and lighter acceleration. It can also begin happeining in third gear. Once it happens you can assume the shift forks have bent as well as the gear locking dogs have begun to round off.

In addition to the pre-pump under tank filter I'm running this post-pump between my pump and my carbs, has 10 micron filtering, can't really get better than that
