We didn't complain (much) back then, just kookaloo'd the hell out them. I bet Pat thinks his 1984 desk top computer was kinda clunky too....
1985- I was due to graduate high school in 1 year and I had the Yamaha 1985 FJ lineup poster on my wall along with Heather Thomas in a Pink Bikini. Never really thought Id ever own an FJ yet here I am...
I was so hoping this was going to be a Heather Thomas story!

The front sprocket is almost worn...
Which chainset should I buy because I have 3CX framenumber 1988. But with ABS imported in 1992...strenge isn't?
That's not only strange, it's worrying- Yamaha didn't put ABS on any FJ anywhere until 1991.
Are you sure your FJ is both a 1988 and a 3CX model. It may have been modified by a previous owner, or it may be a matter later 3XW model (not sure why/how it would be registered as an 88).
Can you post some photos of the bike and the ABS equipment, it might help us get to the bottom of this conundrum.

I suggest ordering quality sprockets and chain from RPM don't be tempted to save a few bucks with cheap China eBay stuff.
