Comments:
Purchased after being abused. Right side down. 4 year repair project. Hell of a machine. Even with my new TL1000R I can't part with it. It's just plain fun! Purchased the new TLR in May this year, and with the renewed love of the sport and the 2k I put on the TLR, I've already double the miles I put on the FJ over last year.

| Accessories: box stock | |||
| Modifications: Added only tires, Dunlop K591s. Rear lasted only a little over 5000 miles (much of them in the mountians of North Georgia and Western North Carolina) | |||
| Problems: Short life span of K591's (especially on a bike that is no V Max when it comes to power.) Will need fork seals soon, may upgrade fork springs and go with heavier oil as well. Bike is geared for 1980's 55mph speed limit, very busy at highway speeds. | |||
|
Comments:
Great ride for the price, you shouldn't pay more then $1200 for a decent example. 8 valve motor is way down on power compared to modern 600's, but does have good pull in the midrange (above 4k rpm.) Weighs just over 450 lbs wet, loves to be tossed around in the mountians. Has great riding position for sport touring and decent wind coverage from fairing, I've done over 400 miles a day on her, most of them on backroads.
