New to the FJ1200.
Got it in April and got it licensed 10 days ago or so as everything was closed due to to Covid and couldn't plate it.
It has some upgrades and some neglects.
First day with plates I couldn't ride as when I put a hose to the rear tire the valve sheared right off.
The valve was identical to the one in the owner manual....So probably original.
While I had the wheel off I checked the brakes and all the pads are worn to nothing.
That's when I realized the front caliper were changed. The guy at the shop was able to identify them and sell me the correct pads for them. Whew.
The left and right masters were changed for some cute.....things....Ones.
they are cute but I am not quite sold on them yet. With the handlebar's angle they have to be very full so as not to uncover the....hole. Insert the proper words there.
Also there is some clutch drag. Makes finding neutral a real .....I will bleed and see if air is the issue. If the master doesn't have enough volume to actuate the clutch then they have to go.
The mirrors will have to go.
They are ugly as far as I am concerned and worse will not adjust. They have their own mind about things.
Today fought the Yoshimura exhaust.
One is off, one to go. There is no packing left inside (Well nearly so anyway).
What else is there to say?
Some crack in the plastics, one fairing bumper is missing. The seat looks good. Gas gauge jumps around. I saw a fix somewhere on this forum.
The lenses for the flashers are a bit....dark....
I sometime hear a chain rattle from the engine. So I have to research timing chains.
No show stopper so far.
Oh. I added a USB port in the "Toll booth Token Compartment.
Me? Been around for a while. Ben riding for a while. Here to learn stuff.
Thank
