'84 FJ 1100 fuel hoses, filter and petcock question.

[red]

Red,
Thank you very much for the info. http://rpmracingca.com/proddetail.asp?prod=S-YA0131&cat=39
I guess this are the lines to order for the front brakes then. But it says that this is for the US models. I have no idea if there is any difference between US and EU Models when it comes to brake line length. Any idea??

Daniel,

If you have any doubt about fit or delivery time, most hydraulic hose companies (and maybe brake shops) should be able to make what you need, if you bring in the old brake line.  They now can make brake lines in steel braid, plastic sheathing, and custom colors.  Banjo ends may be rotate-able, if you request them, to avoid any twists in the line on the bike.  I don't know about costs, for the locally made or imported brake lines.  Good hunting!

Cheers,
Red

All right, i will see if i order from RPM or try to find a local shop that can make them. I am a little insecure when it comes to replacing them, but it is plug and play right? Then fill fluid and bleed all the air?

One more thing i noticed on the bike, and that is the starter. The starter button cranks the engine without the ignition being on or if i push it. It doesnt require the key to crank (but it wont start before ign. Is on) and it even cranks with the killswitch activated. I have not yet been able to study all of the wiring on the bike, only had a quick look and couldn't find anything wrong. Is this a common 'problem' ? I have read about someone having the problem that the starter cranks by itself but i have yet to experience that.
Is this anything to worry about?

that starter motor shouldnt crank when key not in.someone has rewired it, but not via ignition switch.

They are the same for all countries.

While that is a true statement, some lines may not be approved for use in the EU.  They seem to be a lot more picky about that stuff for some reason.

Check the link I have provided in earlier post regarding parts from Germany. They have a lot of interesting things at much lower price than importing from USA. I've also installed their brake lines with success. Bleeding can be a PIA.
