LOL

[UJM]

Correct me if I am wrong, but didn't the '86 use a 41 tooth rear sprocket and the 89 and up used a 40 tooth?

Gearing makes a difference - while one tooth may not seem like a lot, it would make a difference at the strip.

[lawson]

Yes you are correct and the 84-85 had 42.  But the 89 has 4hp more over 86-87.  Isn't that an 89 thats appearing in your i.d. box to the left - 89 owners don't go against other 89 owners on this topic -

Ride for one, ride for all.

so im confused.... whos penis is bigger??

Good question......









In order to haul my Hepco Becker hard luggage there is a displacement of 1349cc, Dyna coils, ignition, Keihin FCR39s, special grind cams ,lightened crank...... basically an engine that was very appropriately named by the builder (167HP/115 lb/ft @ the wheel )......

  what chu got ?

Kookaloo!

Bench racing magazine articles is OK for some I guess...

Hey Guys - Did some searching and here is spec sheet comparison of all year fjs.  Type it in as i have written it with CAPITALS on the FJ and S otherwise it will be a blank web.  http://wiki.gfm.net:443/FJ1200_Specs    Again type as i wrote with proper capitals.  All this because someone asked why i liked the 89 model.  It all good - but i was right

Isn't that another Geoff March creation?

Now that is what it is all about, great stuff!

Looking forward to hearing about the real world experience, what I like the most about the engine is that it looks stock from the outside, beautiful!

i've been running that engine for the last three years.... i can tell ya all about it..... sounds like a small block chevrolet  V8.... catches revs like a formula 1 car and accelerates so hard it can blur my vision.....will snatch the front wheel up and spin the tire at the same time in about any gear depending on throttle usage (be careful what you wish for).

one issue with the lightened crank is that the bike will DE-celerate as fast as it accelerates so i gotta be careful about chopping the throttle lest me manly bits gets smashed against the tank. BTDT hated it

over 80 ft/lbs of torque are available from 3000 RPMS so driving out of a corner and hauling my luggage isnt really an issue... 

the most fun is pulling sportbikers off the line.... nothing seems to make them feel better than seeing a bike with luggage take the holeshot and pull them to a hundred or so ( i usually roll out about then cause i need my license for work ).... LMFAO!

Hey Frank, if you had to do it over again...would you lighten the crank?

I'm no expert Frank, [I've only got the one] but that does not look at all like a penis to me.  Perhaps you've got a set of Freudian glasses on?

Just checking.
