Hello everyone!

Glad to be here!
I was browsing the local classifieds today, and a guy is selling a 1989 FJ1200 for $700.
Description says it needs the carburetors synchronized, and the clutch "pump" (which I recon he means the clutch master cylinder... or the piston down at the engine. Not sure).

I would like to go look at it this weekend.
Was wondering if you could send some direction as to what to look for and/or check.
Links would be awesome.

Just joined this forum, and am starting to read everything I can now... so please excuse me if I have missed a "New Owners - What to Check For" thread!

I know Yamahas are rock solid (FTW!), yet wondering of any peculiarities.
Will have pics of her on the weekend.
The pic the guy uploaded to the classifieds is taken with Potato resolution.

Thank you everyone!

Just thought I would drop in a new thread to say hi.
I am picking up a new to me 1984 FJ1100 this weekend.
Bone stock, no mods at all. 14k original owner miles.

Plans are to tear it down this winter and update A LOT of stuff on the bike.
First to go will be the swingarm, forks, wheels, shock, entire tail section, and all fairings.
Plan is to build a naked street cruiser.

This isn't my first bike, but definitely my first "upright" bike.
Ive built a lot of bikes- F4i, ZX7R, SV650's (multiple), 600RR, TL1000R, and a few 2wd quads.
I am pretty excited about this build.

Ill post pics after I pick it up this weekend (pending no rain!)

Hi I'm Gord, from teesside I've just got an 85 FJ1100 trike, it needs a bit of TLC.

Looking forward to getting stuck into it over the winter.

kitkat here.  noticed the old yahoo group dying and wondered where everyone went; guess i found it.  I have an 89 (bought '00) rather modified with 1250 APE kit, gxxr rear wheel, gxxxr rear shock, 4-2-1 d&d w/ carbon can, racetech suspension front & rear, pods, kit, r1 brakes front, gxxr rear, FP gear thingy, low-end gearing, no centerstand, lifted rear and dropped front, corbin solo seat, fully givi'ed, always pirelli stickums..and other little mods i have forgotten. So in love after all these years!  lol 

Hi everyone, just got my first FJ and i'm very pleased. It's a 1991 and fairly tidy, hope to post some pics later.
Great to be part of the FJowners.com.
