Hello,
new to the form and looking for advise. I have LOVED the FJ from the time it was an 1100. I always wanted one and the wife is giving me the green light. I have a GL1800, KLR650 and a 76RD400, so what's one more right?
what years should I stay away from?
what years are better?
anything special to look for when looking at one?
Looks for me, I love the blue and seems to be the later years.

Thanks for any suggestions.

G-Day and Hello from Germany,

I am Frank, Locate in South west Germany. I drive FJ1100 since 3 years. I own now three FJ1100 (47E) plus my old BMW 90/6.

at first FJ1100 I change the Fork, Wheels, Handlebar, Brakes, Suspension, it runs now on 18" Rims / Tyres in Front and Rear.

Hi have now 3 Projects running,  FJ with a bit Street Tracker Style hopefully finished next year. The FJ Enduro and the BMW Seat Customising these projects run alongside.

But every thing takes his time I also have normal job and a wonderful family that support my passion for motorcycles.

Hi there, been away a while since I sold my last FJ (blue 93 non-ABS) that was stock except for a GSXR 750 rear wheel mod.  I just bought a 1990 with low kms for a really good price. Body is excellent except for a damaged chin spoiler (what a surprise).  It is equipped with FZR1000 front and rear wheels.  The previous owner had attempted to make it work but couldn't get the rear caliper aligned properly.  After buying it, I put it up on the lift at work (Harley dealer) and was trying to centre the caliper on the rotor and noticed that when I torqued the wheel nut, the wheel wouldn't turn so I suspected a missing spacer inside the wheel.  Took it off and found the spacer seems a little too short and the inner bearings were totally pooched (ground down real bad).  

I have looked through the available articles concerning the subject but the only article I found that actually showed measurements was so out of focus and blurry, I cannot read it with my 56 year old eyes.  Does anyone have some clear specs or a step by step on what is needed and the measurements.  Thanks for any information.

I have ordered a kit from Doc in the U.K. but god knows when it will arrive.  Want to get it on the road quickly.  Thanks. 

By the way, ignore the voting thing, don't even know how that happened, hahaha

I just picked up a mint mint mint 88 FJ1200.  Only 6160 kms on it.  Got it from the original owner, who only put those few km's on it over the first 10 years of its life, then stored it for the next 20. The bike has not been started in 5 years, but I plan on getting it going in a few days, and giving the bike a complete go over this winter....though there is little more to do than swap tires, and clean off 20 years worth of storage grime. 

Hi
Just joined the forum, got my second FJ1200, bought it used, with 43500 km 28 years old.
I will write some more later!
