Yeah, I've had problems with an oil leak from that pipe. I was reassembling it with new o-rings and realised that there hadn't been an o-ring on the e…login to view the rest of this post

I hadn't seen all of the updates when I wrote this, but I'll leave it anyway as it's worth knowing. The clutch switch on my 4xv has just packed up - l…login to view the rest of this post

I'm not sure what you mean by condensation from the coolant pipe? There shouldn't be moisture in the oil if the engine had benn fully warmed up.

Double post.

My 4xv just snicks into 1st when it is cold, even after it sat for 4 months last year. Did the plates look OK when you disassembled the clutch? Do …login to view the rest of this post

Welcome to the forum, but it is pretty quiet these days.

I'm trying to buy a mint 4c8 from someone I know, but he can't decide whether to sell it!

The joys of older motorbikes. Good to hear that you got it sorted.

Good idea, I already have a spare ignitor and will order the relay next time I buy some parts.

Does it cut out on all 4 at the same time? If so, then it's likely to be electrical, as the carbs won't all run out of fuel together.

I don't know what Yamaha did to the motor, but the FZ1000 doesn't go as well as the 4xv / 5jj. Still a good road bike, but you might miss the power o…login to view the rest of this post

The 4xv uses a different relay. But the good news is that they are $50 from the US!

It's actually not too bad, as long as you're not in a hurry. The freight forwarder I use (myus.com) can ship it for $12 but it will take 2-3 weeks. …login to view the rest of this post

Thanks for that info, I might get one also just in case my occasional starting problems are the relay and not the kill switch.

I found a FJR switch on US eBay for $20. It will cost more for shipping to NZ!

If you remove the petcock from the tank, you will find a screen over the inlet. I'm not sure if you have E10 petrol where you livel, but that can re…login to view the rest of this post

A cracked liner usually results in the engine becoming hard to start when hot. What you describe sounds like fuel starvation.

Have you removed the p…login to view the rest of this post

On checking the parts listing, the 2003 FJR 1300 used the same switch - only the 03, not the later models as they have a different plug. There are mo…login to view the rest of this post

I'm not familiar with the 5pw wiring, but I assume there's a cutoff relay similar to the 4xv and you're checking the pins that the side stand connects…login to view the rest of this post

An update - I've been careful not to use the kill switch and it has been fine for the last 3 months. This afternoon, I took it apart, cleaned the cont…login to view the rest of this post

Depending on your weight, a spring change could help. I tried a 5pw linkage on my 4xv a few years ago. It raised the rear and quickened the steering, …login to view the rest of this post
