Have you tried the FJ Owners club, they sell lots of stuff?

I didn't know there was a FJ club, where do I goto to find it? Thanks again.

Can be a little pricey on some items and you need to be a member first before buying.

Also try Wemoto & CMS

Very good forum though

Worth joining. When I had a mysterious ignition failure on my FJ1200 I was able to post my CDI to the club and they just plugged it into a working bike and confirmed it was fine. It was posted straight back to me. They also do cheap servicing for FJs and FJRs.

My fault turned out to be in an internal part of the wiring loom, actually at a point that was almost exactly pointed out by Phil Hacker who ran the club then.

Thanks again!! I'm going to join the fj group. \
Maybe someone can answer me this....the problem is when I let the clutch out to take off my bike shakes like I'm not giving it enough gas, and it does it everytime. I've even tried it in 2nd and it still shakes. It's really more annoying then anything, just something I would like to figure out and fix. Thanks again.

I'm going to grab my manual and try to bleed it right now! Tanks again!! This is my 2nd bike my first was a bandit 400,just started riding this season so sorry if these are noob questions.

[yen_powell]

[lastmanstandi...]

I was just looking in the manual looks like it will be easy, I hope I have the same luck as you did. Hey what side is the clutch master cyclinder on?

[yen_powell]

[lastmanstandi...]

Thanks! Im gonna go give it a shot right now.

[lastmanstandi...]

Well the fluid looked like someone craped in it. I decided to flush it out and put fresh in it, but am now having a hard time getting it primed now. Any tips?

[yen_powell]

[lastmanstandi...]

OK. Got fluid to come out the nipple no problem but now the clutch feels really weak, I keep adding fluid and pumping but it's not getting any stronger. Any Ideas? Thanks again.

[lastmanstandi...]

Got it! Thanks again. However it didn't help the shaking problem much.

[yen_powell]

[lastmanstandi...]

Yup it is at the end of the lever travel just as the clutch fully engages. If I give the bike more throttle it dose'nt shake nearly as much. I tried taking off in second gear and it shakes then also. Plus I noticed when I shift from N to 1st the bike jumps a little. Oh and another thing my bike don't seem to do wheelies like I would think it would, in 1st at 15 mph reved to 7-8 and pop the clutch and my bandit comes right up and rides smooth as butter.I tried that on my FJ and it just dropped the rpms and jumped a little but no wheelie! So what do you guys think?? I love this bike and want to make it preform like it should, I just have never rode a FJ before so I'm not sure how it's suppose to preform. Thanks for all the help. I think I am going to try and get into the clutch and see if I can figure it out.

[lastmanstandi...]

Well I got it apart and took some photos of what I found. Looks like there's little notches on all the splines, can this be fixed or does it need replaced? Thanks again.

no help? Can anyone tell me if I can have these parts resurfaced or do they need replaced? Thanks again.

If I were in your situation:

At this point I would put new clutch plates in and see if it is a warped plate that is causing the judder. If that doesn't fix it you'll need new clutch plates either way I'd guess as the notches in the basket and the centre will have worn the old plates.

Those notches don't look as bad as I've seen before, but I've no idea how important it is on that particular bike to have a smooth clutch basket.

Remember kids, bikes aren't like lego. You can't easily take a part from one bike and then fit it to another.

[lastmanstandi...]

Ok I just put the new Benent clutch kit in and still the same so I'm pretty sure it is the clutch basket and boss with the notches in the splines. kind of expensive parts so I am wondering if there is a way I can have what I have resurfaced or something?

[yen_powell]

Well I can't really see any notches, my last Africa Twin and last DR350 had really noticeable wear at the far end of the tangs (closest to the engine). I filed the edge off of the notch to smooth it a little and it cured my problem on both bikes. New baskets are very expensive or I would've replaced them instead.

It's not really notches I guess but if you run your finger down the splines you can definitely feel hills and valleys. I guess it can't hurt to try and file them down first and if I screw that up I'll just buy new ones.
