"Long Boy"
Finger and screwdriver adjustable extended Fuel Screw

Frustrated with trying to find an "almost 90 degree"  screwdriver to fine adjust your fuel screws for best idle and cruise?
Use Factory Pro's new "finger adjustable" fuel screws to adjust fuel screws for best throttle response. Traveling to high altitude? It's easy to lean out the lowend temporarily.

Make your life easier!

Installation:
Remove old short stock fuel screws, old o-rings, old washers and old spring. The o-ring might be stuck in the carb, so, take a light and make sure it's really out if it didn't come out with the screw (or you can't find it after you took out the screw)
Use a small bent wire to pull it out if it doesn't drop out. Keep the old parts for "spares".

Each screw assembly comes with:
4 Long Boy fuel screws 
 4 new o-rings
4 new washers
4 new springs

HDJ Style - patented
Hi Dispersal Needle Jet direct replacement for original parts for better mileage.

Ok - The average 1200 has accumulated a large number of miles - and by now, many of them have carbs on them that have really funky super-rich low rpm running "feature".
Symptom: Runs well when cold - but kinda stumbly mess when warmed up? Mileage 25 - 22 mpg?

Sound like yours?
Or - you are the best guy or the new guy at a shop, lowered the fuel level, dropped to smaller than stock pilot jets and put the needle in the leanest position - AND taken out the stock plastic 2.5mm plastic spacer and still can't figure out why the customer's bike is still spitting out more fuel than a blown up middle eastern gasoline pipeline?

99% of the time, on a high mileage 1200, the needle jet orifice part of the "emulsion tube" probably looks like an egg.
(needle jet wear, all carbs - click here)

That will allow too much fuel to rise up into the bore of the carb, decrease the engine's power and cause rich low rpm cruise and rich full throttle, low rpm running....     (Sound like yours?)

These needle jets are NOT what Yamaha would sell as replacements - They are full patented design that atomizes fuel to a finer degree - allowing a leaner burn w/o misfire and more power potential - along with 20th century improvements, like hard plating for longer life -

A suggestion? Before you start trying to make your FJ run right or even attempt to properly jet, replace the emulsion tubes.

Feedback
Hi. First off, I`d like to say thanks for the FJ1200 emulsion tubes you sent. I had installed them and wow! What a difference! I`ve got back all of my missing midrange and fuel mileage. I guess it had deteriorated slowly to the point where I thought it used to pull harder than it does. I took a look at the emulsion tubes and couldn`t see any ovality but I took a chance and I`m glad I did. Just by changing the tubes I figure I got back anywhere from 30-40 km/tank.
thanks,

Transmission Shift Improvement

Pro Shift Kit

inc:
F-Pro Microbearing Detent Arm
F-Pro Shift Spring
Clutch Cover gasket
instructions

Now that you've replaced the 2nd gear, it's mate and it's shift fork - Install this kit to make 2nd gear stay alive for years. Oh - nicer shifting, too.

Includes: Factory Pro Microbearing Detent Arm, Heavy duty detent spring and gasket. Makes shifting more positive at the expense of slightly stiffer shift lever action. The stronger detent spring rotates the shift drum faster, so the gears are more likely to engage under quick shift conditions. The Microbearing eliminates much friction, allowing the shift drum to rotate quicker for fewer missed shifts. Especially helpful in decreasing the 2nd gear and shift fork wear that the FJ1100's, FJ1200's and other bikes with large, heavy transmission gears are so well known for.
This kit fits both FJ1100 and FJ1200.

Instructions:
The shift mechanism is located under the clutch basket.
Kit installation requires removal of the clutch basket - using a 1/2" air or electric impact wrench and normal hand tools.

 

Feedback

UPDATE JULY 2.012: after 10.000 kms the hard spring has just bed in and it is no more hard at all. The gear engage with less noise, less gearshift lever travel and more positive, resulting in a more pleasant riding, with less vibration, less effort on the up shifting and less worried about down shifting at high rpms. IT IS FANTASTIC!. RECOMMENDED

Feb 03,1999

Hello,
I have a 1991 Yamaha FJ1200, and saw a tech article in Rider magazine about a problem that these bikes exhibit. At low speed, the throttle is nearly "light switch" touchy on my bike, and the article said that this was normal for FJ's but there was a solution. The article went on the explain that the FJ1200 has a very sharp ignition advance curve, about 33 degrees difference from 1000 to
2500 rpm. I checked the shop manual and saw that this was correct.

Rider magazine referred to your company as one offering a fix for this tendency. I checked your website and noticed that the FJ1200 was not listed (or I didn't see it) and was wondering if you offer an ignition advancer for this bike and at what cost. Also, do you know why the factory would put such a sharp curve in the advance of the ignition? Normally this is not a problem, but at parking lot speeds it can be quite a handful, as you can imagine.

Any help you could give me would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
Chris D.

Well, well, there's an FJ1200 page now!

Actually, the problem is twofold - the low-end carburetion is too lean and the ignition timing curve is pretty aggressive at low rpm.
Try adding the advance and see if that's enough. Adding the Carb Recal Kit and the advance will cure the FJ's "twitchy throttle" when properly tuned.

BTW - The FJ1100 needs the carb kit before the advance - as the advance alone will cause a light pinging at cruising speed when going up slight hills on the freeway.

Thanks for the question,
Marc


Tech Tidbits

 

Carb overflowing while sitting

Hi Marc,
 
thought I would update you on my carbs just as an FYI.  I was able to punch out the pins and remove the floats.  Cleaned the openings but had the same results, fuel overflow when the fuel pump turned on.  As is so happens, on this particular model of carb the entire needle valve assembly can be removed.  The needle valve assembly O rings had dried up and so the proper pressure wasn't being created in the fuel bowl due to the gas forcing its way around the bad rings.  I noticed that the valve assemblies were kind of loose when I wiggled them and that was when I suspected the O rings.  I've replaced them with similar size O rings and the problem is solved.
 
Thanks for the assistance and I hope this info comes in handy for someone else in the future.  I would never have found the problem if I hadn't been able to remove the floats.

Hi Guys,
 
GREAT WEBSITE!!!!  I hope you can help me.  I'm experiencing a problem with my 91 FJ1200.  I've tried several time to clean the carbs with varying degrees of success.  I continue to have a fuel overflow situation.  I suspect that one or more of my float valves aren't seating properly to stop the flow.  The floats seem to be installed with pressed rods and I don't want to break something.  Is it possible that the floats are not removable?  This is the only part of the carbs that I haven't been able to remove and clean.  If I need a rebuild kit, how can I identify the carbs on this bike or is that an issue if they're the stock carbs?

Hi John -
Thanks!

Hmm...
I use a very small punch and tap out the steel rod that the floats pivot on.
SMALL taps, as you CAN break the posts!
I've used a nail to tap the rod out, in a pinch.

Make SURE you are punching the right directeion -

Float Height Measuring

"touching, but not compressing the float valve spring"

Needle Jet wear
(sometimes called "worn emulsion tubes)
Inspect your brass needle jets for wear when you take out the needles. If the needle jets have oval wear pattern, they will allow too much fuel to pass by the needle causing excess low speed richness.
The fuel will also consist of more, large drops, rather than small droplets. Large drops of fuel tend to drop out of the airflow and not burn.

The extension of the laboratory for engines of the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology was completed in about 1935. Its architect was Rudolf Otto Salvisberg (1882-1940). He had a successful career in Berlin but returned to Switzerland after the advent of the Nazis. His architectural style was somewhat similar to that of Erich Mendelsohn. The staircase of the laboratory is in normal use but well preserved.
