Fj1200 Vibration

Yes if that one is a 10mm bolt. I am a bit handicapped because I own an old 1990 FJ but my manual covers the 91-93 bikes also.

Interesting that the manual would say that, considering the rear lower frame bolts are M8's ...not M10's

What can I say. That's what Yamaha claims.  That's for the FJ 1200 B/BC.  
Digging here in the manual the FJ 1200S/SC lists the "Downtube frame" as 8MX1.25 and a torque of 20 ft lbs.

So if they are 8mm then 20 ft lbs is the tq for them.

Seems to be different torque settings depending on what manual is used. i came across a excerpt online from a Haynes manual  under "Engine Mount bolts" that said the long flange bolts were 65lbs and the "upper damper" bolts were 40lbs.

Well job done. Bushings cleaned and greased and back in the bike. Now got to wait for the weather to improve to find out the improvement.

I dont think the bushings  were ever removed before so to those considering the same task I would advise using some penetrating oil and leave to soak for a while. It makes such a huge difference in freeing up the bushings.

I think you're gonna be surprised. I was amazed.
