G'day all from sunny Queensland!

I've owned a 93 non ABS FJ1200 for a few years now and most recently discovered this forum trying to find a fix for some annoying handlebar vibes - which lead me to the thread about greasing up the front mount bushings. Made a BIG difference and will probably look at the rear mounts as well soon enough.

Anyway, been riding for over 20 years and have owned many bikes in that time. Had a few XJ900's (F's and Diversions) over the years so pretty familiar with the Yamaha 4 cylinders. Also owned a good share of GS Suzukis and even a 1500 Intruder. Also currently own a Z1300 and an XT500 which are needing some work but will be back on the road in the (hopefully) near future.

So, thanks for the info on this forum and glad to be here .....

Hello everyone.

Just purchased my FJ1200 today.

1990 3CV model.

Looking at changing a few things to bring it up to date. However, it is in need of a deep clean.

Picture is from the AD.

I bought my FJ new in 1992, I think it was $5800.  I have all the papers, brochures, etc.  It only has 4700 Miles.  When the kids came along it didnt get much use and sat....in my garage for years and yes the carb and tank is all gunked up.  Now it is time to get it back on the road and I look forward to riding it again after 10 years.

I have browsed a bit and this site is a great help.  The Illustrated card post is great.  I look forward to contributing to the form as appropriate..

Hi all,
I'm Nigel and I'm one of those "Born again Bikers" and have decided I'd make my return to Biking on a '91 FJ1200 ABS.
I rode a lot of different bikes from a Kawasaki KH100ex, RD350LC's (4 of them!) RD500LC V4, FZR1000 Genesis and EXUP to my last bike in '02 a Suzuki Bandit 600.
Although I didn't own a bike for 15 years, I always knew one day I'd get another one..
So I came across this FJ in a local buy and sell website at the right money, went to see it expecting it to be a bit worse than in the photos but to my surprise it wasn't! It is a Japanese own market model 4CC with only 30k kms on it, totally standard but there's a lot of corrosion as it stood outside in the Irish weather for a few years...
I look forward to learning about this fine motorcycle from you all.

Hey there, I've been riding for over 20 years with the majority of the bikes being Yamaha,  just bought a '91 in January of 2017. Wow. I've been missing out. What an absolutely fantastic motorcycle. Had a great season last year even with all the rain and can't wait for a longer riding season this year...already put 500km on in February this year - that's right, February in Canada lol.

Had to do a little cleaning up, ordered a fibreglass belly pan from Idaho off eBay, and had the pipes done with a ceramic black bake, and took it in for a wrap to get rid of the terrible yellow the previous owner had done to it, had them wrap the windshield while they were at it too.  Added a Givi E460 top box(not in pics)  It's turned out pretty well I think
