Re: OIL.... Henry's curiosity
RE: << With conventional oil it would virtually start to stall out as the engine parts would expand and get close to seizing. >> Exactly what is close to seizing? I suspect this has crossed over into conjecture or guessing from scientific investigation. From my mechanical experience, it has either seized or it hasn't, or galled, in the case of ferrous metal to ferrous metal. However, as a motorcycle retains more heat, it can begin to run rich, esp non injected motorcycles, from gasoline expansion in the tank and or float bowls, (again, non injected). This causes a rich running condition that can actually cause rough running to stalling. The symptoms would be similar to running with the choke on. I do know Motul claims to lower engine temperature with use of at least one of their products. No offense intended, just offering a mechanical perspective to an engineering judgment. RSRBOB No offense taken to another perspective. The large 1200cc aircooled FJ is notorious for over heating in traffic. Large air 4 cyclinder cooled engines do not do a very good job of removing heat from the center two cylinders without having air moving across the engine. The FJ is manufactured with pretty loose tolerances, compared to a water cooled engine, to avoid metal to metal between the aluminum piston and steel cylinders sleeves, which have different coefficients of expansion, to help avoid to tight a fit when engine gets hot. One of the fixes, often used by FJ owners, is to raise the main needle and turn out the idle jets to enrich the fuel flow to engine at low speeds and idle. More fuel improves cooling. The gas tank is vented so excessive pressure build up will not occur. If the carbs get too hot they would probably cause the vapor lock and the engine would want to start to diesel. This is not what happens. The same effect can happen with the tank removed and tuning the bike.with a vacuum meter. I having a fan running on the engine while tuning to avoids this from happening. it takes about 20 minutes at idle for too a high temperature to start to become a problem. As the engine finally reaches a very hot condition it starts to slow down at idle, like you are letting the clutch out and causing drag. This binding effect is also very noticeable when trying to restart. The starter has a hard time turning the engine over and it rotates at a much lower speed. Again like it is binding. Like others have commented, engines run cooler with synthetic oils. There are three possible reasons for this. 1) the oil does a better job of removing heat.which it may. 2) the oil lubricates better and reduces friction and heat. 3) the oil on the cylinder walls maintains it lubricating quality better under extreme temperature. Since, as I have stated, I found the engine actually runs slightly faster at idle with synthetic oilmy conclusion is less friction and or no breakdown as being the major effects. Again my logic was very simpleless friction, less heat and less differential metal expansion to cause reduced tolerances. Actually, if the heat was causing the fuel flow to increase, it would have a more beneficial cooling effect than stalling effect on the FJ. My best guess...:>) hawke
RE: Cutting the Flap!
"SHAWN PEARSALL" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> said in a previous message... I've modified the tank on my bike (snip) The procedure was easy. BUT YOU MUST USE CAUTION PLEASE! 1) Take the cowlings off ...(snip, snip) ..Shawn P ___ But if we're talking about speeding fill-up and not increasing fuel capacity, wouldn't it be easier to just bend the flap backwards (so gas won't spill out if you pour too soon) and drill a small hole in the tube so that air would breathe out easier and faster, not triggering the nozzle stopper -or whatever you call the thingy-?

RE: My GTS got hit !! #$%#!@
Whoa, Jon! the person who hit you is responsible. If you can find out which one did it (if that is possible) then do it. The deductible is only if YOUR insurance has to pay. If you find the person then you go to his/her insurance and get the full amount re-inbursed. Spend some time investigating. It would be worth it. I was looking to replace my silencer due to the scratches that it received when it ahh... fell off the bike.( long story) Cycleparts.com wanted $570.00 for a new one.

Re: My GTS got hit !! #$%#!@
John, Competition Accessories has GTS parts. On another note I found out this weekend at the BMW national in Midland Michigan that the Russel seat man passed away about a week ago. Many people say that the Russel Day Long is the best seat ever made for long distance cycling. I have sat on a few and had to awakened after a few minutes. Now that what I call comfort. There were six thousand bikes at the BMW moa , and three 1993 GTS models., and one 1994 . My 1994 has color matched Krausers, and it drew a crowd . Many questions, and the comment that now that sounds like a motorcycle at idle. The new BMW bikes sound remarkably like giant two wheeled sewing machines at idle. Does anyone know if the K1200 is faster than a GTS ?? I know they claim a top end of 152 on the K bike, but the quarter mile times were the same as a GTS , in the 11.70'S . K-1200'S have a six speed , so top end is not a fair comparison. I have pushed my GTS to about 140 down Big Bend Texas way with the bags back at the campground. I think it would have gone a bit faster, but I did not want to push my luck on a then new bike. Anyone have any top end figures?? Several K bike types had inquiring minds and wanted to know. For a 94 model bike to still have that much interest tells me we are riding way hip slick and cool machines!! Sincerely, Alan Tooraen

RE: Windshield question to the List
Whaz up buckaroo? Sorry for the late reply! Started a new job and went on vacation to the beach last week. I've got a windshield (brand new OEM) on the shelf in my garage equipped with the BMW deflector. Depending on your height and whether you have a Corbin seat, this setup can put your helmet in clear air. Look at http://www.geocities.com/~raddboy/gtsmods.html to see a few pics of the setup. Roger Van Santen used this setup for the Iron Butt Rally this past year I believe. He could probably offer input on it's effectiveness.

Re: Starting problem
If the bike is in neutral, it will start whether the sidestand is up or down. My problem occurs when trying to start the bike in gear with the sidestand up and the clutch pulled in. And its only been intermittant under those conditions. In neutral, it starts every time regardless of the clutch or sidestand position, thats why I'm leaning towards the cluth switch.

RE: deals gap trip. need advice
I've never stayed there (Mountain Brook), but I met the daughter (Maqelle) of the couple that owns the place. She used to live in Charlotte, but now works with her parents at the cottages. She was very nice, & they seem to welcome motorcyclists. You've probably seen the web site, www.mountainbrook.com . Be sure to ride the Cherohala Scenic Highway (NC143,TN165) west out of Robbinsville. You can take 360 N when you get to Tellico Plains, then 411 N, then 72 S to make a loop back to Deals Gap. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]]On Behalf Of stan thomas Sent: Tuesday, July 18, 2000 3:11 PM To: Multiple recipients of list Subject: deals gap trip. need advice planning a trip to deals gap area. our group consists of two couples. looking for a nice place to stay. a place where there is alot of activities. will be doing more than just riding motorcycles (hiking, fishing etc). any suggestions on the Mountainbrook cottages. i have never been through the smokey's. look forward to some feedback. i will be traveling south from cleveland oh. stan 93 gts

Re: Starting problem
If you want to check the switch , the connection is behind the front sprocket casing , i can't remember which way the connection works , but first try it with the two wires disconnected ( Remember to replace the casing or the clutch push rod will shoot out and loads of oil to ) does it start? Then connect the two wires together does it start? If theres only one wire disconnect it does it start? if no then short it to earth ( engine casing ). I'am sorry the way to check it , is a bit vague but mine went wrong along time ago. atb Nick T
Re: Starting problem
Point well taken. Maybe a blast of WD-40 inside of the switch might help or if worse comes to worse, I can have it replaced under warranty.
