i got the bike in gorham me
that would be nice if i can get it there

to my understanding the 89 fj1200 has a cable operated clutch?

[weymouth399]

No FJ had a cable operated clutch. There are only a couple parts that could be wrong I have in stock.
They can be a bitch to bleed correctly. Not a big deal let me know when.
I may be going up to JEM motorsports, I will let you know if I go.

I don't think of that as a FJ. And I this is a 1100/1200 site not a POS 600 site.

Difficulty bleeding clutches seems a regular topic here. My turn finally came last week strarting with everything dry. As I've read countless times, could not start process by pumping lever so I put about a metre of clear plastic tubing over the open bleeder nipple, filled the reservoir and sucked on the tube (poor mans pressure bleeder). 2 sucks and I had about a foot of lovely, clean, bubble free fluid in the tube, closed the nipple, topped up the reservoir, done and dusted! Took less than a minute all up.

The above is an old post, I have since bled another one the some way and it was just as easy.

You typed above the last '/quote' in the reply box.

Easy to do, but you can use the 'preview button to check before you post, or you get some time before the 'modify' option goes away to fix that kind of stuff.

Or, just use the REPLY button instead of hitting the QUOTE button.  Most of us have more than an ounce of brain matter and can remember the subject posted directly above (I said "most" of us).

This is back to being a touchy subject with me since I lost my fiber optic net service and am on sloooooooooooooooooooow DSL.
