I think it's for the the 91 model..

Ken

OK, now it has come back to me. From what I recall you have an unidentified FZR rim -there were a number of models, all with different rotors - and I think you bought an FJ disc (?) I'm no model expert but I can think of three FZR's that I know all have different rotors and 2 of those 3 will not fit an FJ disc. Don't know about the 3rd one.
In my case there was a model within a model (FZR600) and they were only sold on certain continents under different names. Took a while and a couple of wrong orders to figure that one out.

What I am asking is, does the disc sit where it should on the hub?

The amount the rotor appears to be off centre is about the same as the depth of those lugs.
Is the disc sitting around the outside of them or on top of them.

Presumeably, if you bought the "kit" from UK FJ, that should not be the problem.

Anyway, eliminate the easy stuff first and make sure it's sitting where it should.
If that's not it we can delve a little deeper with some better photos.

I think you might be on to something there Noel.
I had to look up the rim i bought on eBay. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/360718049473?ru=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fsch%2Fi.html%3F_sacat%3D0%26_from%3DR40%26_nkw%3D360718049473%26_rdc%3D1

I will try to take some bettet pictures to night. Will use a propper camera and not the phone :-)
I go by memory now, but i recal the disc sitting correctly on the hub, it sits/ go around those lugs.

Noel, I made some progress to night. But first, my rim didn't have 4JH inprited on the spoke, mine was labeled with R-62

I have been talking to Doc in the UK, and its fairly common with some offset. He suggested the easiest thing to try first (which i did), and that was to replace the collar/spacer on the right/disc side with the OEM spacer.
The OEM spacer is 13mm thick, and the machined one is 12mm. The 1mm seems to have fixed it.
Well, when I say fixed it, I don't mean its centered and all is perfect but the offset is reduced to and within tolerance for what I would drive with.

Take a look at my shared and public folder with pictures. If you scroll all the way down to the bottom you'll see the last photos taken today. There you will see the new clearance and in print on the rim.
My OneDrive folder

I will try to acquire a let front side OEM caliper to see it that would make any difference...
BTW, if a front caliper is possible to mount on the rearwheel, would the bluedot caliper bolt straight on to, as it does on the front??

Might be a stupid question, but could you explain what flywheel is? Its a term in unfamiliar with
Cheers

Mt Bad!

I meant to say "Swingarm Side". Sorry for the confusion............

And yes, my rotor is slightly offset to the right inside the caliper, but it is not close enough to touch anything, and there is plenty of room for a brand-new pad inside there, so it won't affect anything............

keand3 · February 26, 2014, 03:57:04 PM

That's good. Mine to is like that so hopefully everything roles smoothly as soon as the f#$&$ winter is over.

Taking of and on the rear wheel is a pain, but on the bright side is that i mess up my white rim... And that means cleaning

And while i was at it i had to do the front a well

Firehawk068 · February 26, 2014, 04:44:38 PM

I probably had mine on and off about 5 or 6 times fitting everything in just right............................
when everything is spaced correctly, it should just slip in with barely any force........If I remember correctly, I used the stock FJ wheel/cushdrive spacers.

Sounds like you got it under control now Keand. You'll be ready for spring early? When does the winter start drawing back up your way?

keand3 · February 26, 2014, 10:47:31 PM

Yes, everything just slide in now

Joe, the last winter we got an early spring, in March already. But its not uncommen for winter and snow to a be laying well into April. But this winter had been pretty mild, so allot of the snow has gone in just a few days, but is keeps freezing during the night. So hopefully one could start riding by the end of April

Cheers
Ken

WELL! Winter will just not die here

. The odd thing is that the ocean water temp didn't get below 34* f. The air has been colder that it's been in 20 years but the water temp has been relatively warm. Back in 91 I was diving for sea urchins and it was a little colder than this year but the water temp was 28* f. The ocean froze out to and island 7 miles away. Coast guard ice breakers came thru the thoroughfare and made it so we could get out. We dove drysuits and full face mask. The water was ice crystals, the only thing keeping it from freezing was the current and tide.
The thing is that it's to late in the season to be 0 every night and there calling for the same for the next 10 days.

It is a very long, cold winter for us here:

- 30 in March? Have not heard about global warming for a while.

Thats what our forcast looked like in 91. I bet that common for you but not this late in the season?

You guys should have come over for the Australian FJ Rally.
The forecast for the next week is high 20s to low 30s in/around Jindabyne.
Hope we don't get too much rain there as well.

keand3 · February 27, 2014, 10:47:06 PM

Australia here i come!

keand3 · February 27, 2014, 11:58:50 PM

Back to my recent fuelleak..

I can't for the life of me, track down any fuelline locally that has an ID of 10mm.I'm only able to find 9mm.

That should work right? That dimension can have alot more fuel running through it, then what the carbs need if i have calculated correctly.

Cheers
Ken

oldktmdude · February 28, 2014, 05:06:06 AM

Ken, the 9mm hose should work without any problems. The main thing is to route it correctly. Make sure that when you fit the tank that the hose is not crimped at all. Even a slight crimp will shut the fuel off once it's subjected to heat from the engine. Don't ask how I know. Fuel line routing is "CRITICAL" on the gravity fed models. Regards, Pete.
