Hello from indiana!

[1tinindian]

lol ok hope i get that feeling soon!

You will young Skywalker.... You will...... Let the Kookaloo be with you.....

...and don't fear the power of the pink, for it shall set you free!

Pay no attention to the pansy behind the pink curtain..... The cake is a lie.....

at least I'm not drinking the red and white kool-aid...

Yes, I am drinking the Red and White kool-Aid, through and through. Don't dilute it and make it pink.....

We are all born of the pink, we desire and lust for the pink.
Don't deny the fact that pink is the all powerful force in the universe and is the be all, and end all of all things colored!

Shit, I ain't fighting that... You win.... 

Oh hell, let's call it a draw, and I'll buy you a beer when I make it out to the WCR!

Awwww, no we will need to read spam for a laugh

Ok well first off, the pink dont control me. there is way to much out there to let one control you. that being said, the only pink on any car truck or bike in my house hold will be the womans. we are gonna paint her 300sd pink this spring when it warms up enough for me to ride the bike on a regular and she can drive my truck. now if i do buy her a bike, proly a ninja 250 or some thing along those lines, it will (knowing her) be pink. side note was thinking about a buell blast just cause she keeps telling me the only real bike is a harley... haha ill show her shes never ridden a blast...lol of corse she has never ridden a bike herself so it will all be new for her. now all that aside

fiddling with the bike today. pulled the carbs, WOW they were bad. the first carb i pulled the bowl off of the jet fell out..... and where the fuel comes in to the needle for the float, so nasty you couldnt see the groove where the fuel came in!!! I dont know how this thing ran! one float was stuck a jet or two were clogged. anyways got them cleaned and it wants to idle with out popping. and it seems to run alot better then it did, but still having problems returning to idle after you give it throttle. it very slowly returns to 1k. oh the choke piece on the handle bars is broke... so im just going to buy a pull choke cable for a mower and rig it to the bike. (im cheap) pulled some cracked and poorly painted fairing and the fenders off of the bike to clean it up a little. oh we cleaned the spark plugs aswell they were burnt like running lean very lean burnt. oh and just found this after we got it to really open up, i think i blew a weld of the oil plug because it is now spewing oil out of a small hole in the oil drain plug... looks like there are two spot welds on it and under them its shooting oil when its running... gosh this is way more then i thought it was gonna be... if i can get this thing running reliably for a couple hundred bucks ill be happy but as of now its looking like its gonna take more then i thought.....

here are some pics of the bike after the fairing is off well the front is still there cause i need the head light, but most of the rest is gone both fenders front was broken in half anyways. and a pic of the oil drain plug.






and the oil plug which i just ordered from the UK for 7 bucks with shipping. oh and i guess it needed an oil change anyways...lol ill seafoam the crank case like i do on my cars and trucks. maybe it will help keep it clean like it does my diesel!


any one know where to get a points gasket? not the cover seal the the one thats behind the points? and how much one is?

[minitruckeratheart]

oh i really need to do something about the turn lights as well, i dont like the goofy signals sticking out like that, maybe get some cheap flush mounts or just bob the arms that extend the lights out... ill poly try n bob them first, its free!

[racerrad8]

You ordered a drain plug from the UK? That is a good price, is that a O.E. plug or aftermarket?

I also sell the oil plug gasket.

The FJ does not have points, so what exactly are you talking about?

In case you were not aware, I am right here in the US, www.RPMracingCa.com

ya know i google searched you and clicked a couple links i found and none of them were rpmracingca.com they were all rpmracing.com....... i wish i would known that before i bought it now maybe i can find the gaskets i was looking for. oh and im talking about the cover on the left hand side what ever is under there that looks like points...

Sorry you weren't able to find me Marsh and I are working on that; but know you have.

There is a crankshaft seal under the cover, but not a gasket; Crank Seal

I also have the cover gasket as well, but just realized I have not added it to my inventory. It will be online tonight.

I also have replacement stainless steel screws for the cover in either button head or taper head.

try opening your mixture screws to get that idle to come on down quicker.... slow to drop is too lean..... dropping below the set idle then recovering is too rich.

thanks for the help so far guys! i hope to get this things running well enough to really ride it once before the snow hits. i mean i have rode it around a lil but i wanna feel this experience of kookaloo. its pretty fast so far but i think once its tuned in and lined out ill be pretty happy with it. this is my first BIG BORE, and so far even running rough its pretty impressive. its been too long to compare to the r1 or my cusins fire blade which are the only big bore bikes i have riden well my ex brother in laws cagiva it was a touring bike, not a rocket, more like the FJ but again its been years since i have rode it either. hope to do some real work on it and get a good working knowledge of the bike and maybe contribute to the forum.

Welcome to the Kookaloo zone. One more Red and White to tip the scales even more, it is still Red and White right? Once you get your issues sorted you will get to find out what the Kookaloo zone feels like. We have a boat load of resources for help and parts so you will be in good hands. I hope you don't mind the occasional shit stirring and bashing that we call fun here. 

AKA the Red Power Ranger....

hello power ranger. Not so good on computers, better on the bike. I just joined and have a question for you or anyone that can help. Just bought a mint 86 1200 my fork springs need changing have race tech springs what tool do you use to remove fork caps. any help will be appreciated thanks

First I will cover proper FJowner's forum unwritten rules. Your first post should be an introduction in the introduction section of said forum. Violating that unwritten and un-find-able rule is a violation... Punishment is a stern and not so binding "Get your ass over and properly introduce yourself"!!!!

Second, Punctuate!!! Power Ranger is capitalized as in a proper noun. Respect the Red....

Third, owning an ambulance colored FJ will get you points, repainting with colors other than proper Red and White/Silver will only earn half that.

Forth, asking for my custom made monkey fork cap tool requires a donation to FJowners in the last 6 months.... Then you pay shipping... While supplies last, 4 left...

Why do you need new fork springs? Did you break them??? If you did then we need to hear the story.... 

[fj11.5]

you could also use the rear wheel nut and a wrench, , or as I use a 27mm nut welded to a 1/2" drive socket,, but a monkey ranger tool would be best, , break open that wallet 

[FJmonkey]

Oh, I forgot to say Welcome to the club... Silly of me to forget. Quite informal in general and don't be alarmed when the occasional shit stirring kicks up and it looks like heads are gonna roll... We like the banter and enjoy humor at anyone's expense. Get used to it... You own an FJ, act like it..... Kookalooo

I had a tool in my box for removing impellers from a waverunner driveshaft.1999 Yamaha GP1200.Just a little smaller hex but a few inches long.
