The FJ crankcase studs are a different configuration to the XS, i know because i've got both bikes albeit the FJ is in XJR form. You might want to...
Is the chain over-tight?
Sorry i've only just seen this. The only comparison between the XJ/XS1100 engine and the FJ's is the fact that they are 4 cylinder oil/air cooled....
Make sure that one of the float valves isn't sticking open. Give each float bowl a sharp tap with the end of a screwdriver or something. Gas can...
Carbs went from 34mm on the XJ1100 up to 36mm on the FJ's and early 13's then up to 37mm before FI.
To remove i just pull at them, easy enough, but to install i use a hair dryer to heat the rubber boots, which tend to harden over time, and the...
Once you've got the cams out you've still got to get the valve keepers off to get access to the seals.
I'd try asking over on the XS/XJ forum here>Forums - XS11.club Forums Basically your XJ1100 engine is just a XS1100 with YICS.
Nice one mate, not heard of them before. On my list, thanks. Motorcycle 9 Way Unsealed Wiring Loom Cable Connector (kojaycat.co.uk)

I can't see how it can be done without removing the cylinder head. The seals are on top of the guides which are below the valve keepers and inside...
20w fork oil is too heavy. You should use 10w.
Getting quite rare now. I bought a spare from a member on this forum called andreas weiss but when it turned it was from a XJ650 Turbo. It does...
That's the reed switch. Should be ok if you're careful. It's a sensor linked to the ignitor box so that the bike won't over-rev.DTR125 2001...
Yes we have to have bikes MOT'd , stands for Ministry of Transport test, unless the bike is over 40 years old and classed as a historic vehicle,...
Thanks. I've also got them on my XS/XJ1100 hybrid affair. I usually buy brake pads for a XJR1300 and rebuild kits for the same from a member of...
The only difference between FJ1100, FJ1200, and the XJR's is the bore size obviously and the the XJR's have got a longer main axle shaft to...
Yes i did all the work, FZR1000 RU EXUP front end, blue spots came from a bike i don't know, bought at an autojumble, could be R1. Both XJR12 and...
Chain. I've got a 1200 version. [img]WP_20210611_15_50_11_Pro_LI by Billy Bananahead, on Flickr
Typical Haynes. The FJ1200 with the screw in axle is 59Nm and the XJR is 73Nm. So, do what you think is best. Where it says in your manual to...
Hi mate, i would get the fuel and air system back to standard by putting on a standard airbox instead of the pods and re-jet the carbs back to...
Yep, got them on my XJR. Quality. Go for it.
I've got to go with what Franz says, get a manual for a start. That will be easier to understand than members on the forum all chucking their...
I suppose if the engine is apart then it would be a good opportunity to replace the cam chain with a new one and eliminate that. I replaced mine...
Listening to your vid, i would go back and check that you adjusted the cam chain tensioner properly. It could be at the end of it's adjustment.
Last thing i'm going to consider now , could it be the HT lead or plug cap shorting on the engine? I lied, are the pick up coils held firm?
Crankshaft bearing?
Slight blowing on one of the exhaust gaskets?
Have you adjusted the cam chain tensioner?
Tell me about it. It had me foxed for a couple of days but once i realized how to set it up and sync it was alright. The previous owner didn't...
I'd been looking for a v-twin for a while too. Always wanted one of these when i was a despatch rider in London but settled on a Honda VT500. This...
Sounds like you've got a blockage in the pilot circuits of 3 & 4.
Ignore me, i'm talking bull in my previous post. The XJ uses a big valve head and different pistons to a standard XS1100. You will need to find a...
You can use the XJ cams but you'll have to make sure that the cam will turn easily when the cam caps are bolted down onto them. They are supposed...
They are interchangeable but you won't have the YICS with the XS head. You might also need to use the XS cams.
It looks like it's had a re-spray but does it matter? You can't see it and as long as it's not bare metal it'll be fine.
Pictures?
I'd have a look at some Bridgestone Battlax tyres.
Remove the clips with some longnose pliers and then pull the caps off with the same pliers. If they are brittle with age just buy some more, they...
Now that you come to mention it.....
Fitted a 100/80-17 front tyre instead of the 120/90-17 that was fitted. Bike handles better now it's closer to how the XS1100 should be set up...
The old 900 still looks good compared with the newer stuff. Well done mate.
I've just rebuilt the XJR engine i'm using in exactly the same way as bensalf describes. The XJR uses some sort of metal, three pieces on top of...
If the coils are wired to the opposite connectors that can cause a backfire. What i'm saying is if 1&4 are connected to 2&3 connector from the...

Thanks all. Still need to paint the engine, i've got some VHT paint ready, and the petrol tank needs a bit. That's a couple of jobs for the warmer...
