I'm struggling like crazy to find a downloadable manual for my FJ; all my other yamahas I've just gone to yamahaownersmanual.com.au and downloaded it but this one.. No idea. Does anyone have a download link for a PDF that details how to strip/rebuild everything on the bike?

Failing finding a manual I figured at least someone out there would have, at some time, listed what the valve clearances are supposed to be but I couldnt find that either! Can anyone help me out with the millimeters rating for the valves? Thanks!

Take a look at this thread mate......All you need to know about repairing diaphragms.

Cheers and wlecome here.

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

Thanks Harvy! (though it was my other thread that was referring to the carb diaphragms.. this thread's about valve clearances - any ideas on those? thanks)

Ahhh...

Finally after downloading someone's spreadsheet in the files section I've been able to determine that the following clearances apply to the FJ1200:

Exhaust: 0.16 to 0.20 mm
Inlet: 0.11 to 0.15 mm

If that was my spreadsheet, then you are welcome....
