Comments:
I just bought this last month. Very Powerful Motor! New Dunlop 501 tires make it feel oh so much better than the previous Metzelers, especially when initiating a turn. The Metzelers just slid way too much, both front and rear. I ride in the hills every day, the bike handles very nice. I never had any kind of fairing before, right now I'm not using the windshield since I busted it.

Experience: 20+
Bikes Owned: 3
Accessories: Lockhardt smoke tint windscreen, K&N air filter
Modifications: Progressive springs & seals, drivetrain stock factory original.
Problems: None, this bike is bullet proof.
Comments:
During my first summer riding this bike in the twisty Colorado mountains I needed better handling (too heavy). I had the front end rebuilt at 2k miles w/stronger Progressive springs and new seals, road feedback was greatly improved with a much better turn in feel and less nose dive when hard braking. Now as for the power this bike can flatten your eye retina's and still has more to offer, roll on is terrific and will deliver all the way to the triple digits without hesitation "YEE HAA". For a semi outdated bike(technologically speaking) it still has style and drew some nice comments at a recent AMA roadracing event. The FJ is an icon in the sportbike world and it is the epitomy of "Beauty and the Beast" I love the big brute!
For Sale: NO WAY! It's a keeper!!

Location: UK -- Aylesbury, Bucks
Experience: 17 years off & on...
Bikes Owned: too many
Accessories: Huge set of Krausers (K2?), Oxford Tankbag (very useful), engine bars, Neta pipes (unfortunately), Fork Protectors, FJ Owners Club membership - don't leave home without it! ;-)
Modifications: 10 row oil cooler, progressive springs, Ohlins rear shock, EBC replacement brakes, Outback seat, aftermarket mirrors (I can see behind me now instead of my elbows!) & a pretty thorough (but not complete) dose of stainless fastenings including bar end weights. Planned: Goodrich lines, R1 callipers, HCR Scottoiler, 4 into 2 S/S pipes... 28/10/02 : Got my Stainless lines and R1 callipers, still waiting for pipes & oiler!
Problems: 5,000 miles done by me to date and only very minor niggles. I do have a slight head gasket leak now too... Main problem is wanting to do stuff to her but not wanting to take her off the road... 26/02/03 Have covered 15,500 miles now; 2 sets of tyres, 1 set of pads, new chain & sprockets. No further niggles other than exhaust on way out unless I can get hold of a 4 into 2 splitter for the Neta...
Comments:
Every mile is a pleasure, even the soggy ones! Outback seat makes a world of difference (no more slipping about). Join the FJOC (if you aren't already a member) and treat your FJ to a "Full Monty" - I did & thought I was riding a different bike home afterward. Thanks "Doc"!
For Sale: Well, the time has finally come. I've been sporting a blue/silver "92 ABS for the last few months now and I need the garage space, especially now my wife wants a bike too. No T&T plus I want to pinch the R1 calipers off her (I still have the originals). She's in need of some TLC and a good home. Would make an ideal project or fantastic candidate for parts if that's what you're after... O.I.R.O. £650 sound better than fair? Buyer collects.
