which isexactly what i was doing. Bike ran ok before i started messing with it. In the modders spirit of "if it aint broke, fix it till it is" I decided to have a look in the carbs. Orings were rotted, dynojet kit installed. I have found out that I know way less than i think. But more than i used to. All in all, a good character building exercise  :dash2:

Reslved!!! Just got my carbs back from RPM. 1, they look clean enough to eat off of. Throttle response is great from get er going to kookaloo range. All i want for Christmas is an open stretch of highway! I still cant get the front end to lift much, tho. I can hit 100 mph in 3rd but no loft. (I am running +2 rear sprocket)

long wheelbase bikes are not really wheelie prone ....and a stock fj only has maybe 110 hp (probably less) at the back wheel .

that being said the FJ will wheelie.... it just aint easy and its not going to happen without some clutch work and possibly a good strong bounce.

mine only got wheelie happy after the 1349cc Brutus engine.....then I'm on the other side and wound up taking teeth off the rear sprocket to stop it from happening when i didnt want it to.( which was all the time  :good2:)

Be careful what you wish for.....


KOokaloo!

Fit a 47 tooth rear sprocket from a FZR1000 and that will solve your non-wheelie problem. Had one on for a short time after I did  the FZR wheel conversion and had no problem to loft the front end in either first or second gear. The down side was that it burnt fuel at a great rate on longer rides.   :i_am_so_happy:  Regards, Pete.
