Welcome Christian  :good2:. You speak better English than I do French.... We do have some members that speak French up in Canada.  Ask questions anytime.
Post some pictures of your project if you get some time.
Cheers George

Welcome Christian, on this forum we can all speak FJ so the language barrier is not too bad. How long have you had your FJ? Any modifications or custom stuff?

Christian Bonjour et bienvenue sur le forum. Bien que je suis Canadien et je parle un peu français, québécois n'est rien du tout comme le vrai français, alors même communiquer en français sera très difficile pour nous deux. Si je peux me permettre une suggestion, il ya beaucoup de translaters universels en ligne qui peuvent faciliter la conversation entre nous. Il est toujours agréable de rencontrer un homme propriétaire de FJ, en particulier de vous dans le monde. Mon espoir est de venir en tournée en Europe un jour prochain. Ecosse est l'endroit où mes racines familiales sont de mais d'être un étudiant passionné de l'histoire, mon espoir est de voir beaucoup d'endroits où les soldats canadiens ont combattu avec la Grande-Bretagne et la France dans les deux guerres mondiales. Ce serait un grand plaisir pour moi si vous voulez être mon guide. Profitez de la moto et du forum. Vous y trouverez une foule d'informations précieuses parmi les 3500 membres. Donc, ne soyez pas timide et s'il vous plaît ne pas hésiter à se sentir comme vous vous sentez quand vous êtes à la maison.
sincèrement
CanDman

Thank you !
I try to perfectly my english :crazy:
In France we are quite limited for the changes, the rules are pretty strict, so I'll just switch to 17 inches at the rear, offering a complete rear yamaha fazer 600, and restore all the mechanical parts in accordance with the original .
Here is a picture with the back installed.

Hello,

I got a full fairing slightly damaged, but once repaired it will be like new.
Now we must start thinking about painting :scratch_one-s_head:
I'd like to do a painting closer to the original but in more modern colors.

Welcome Christian!  You'll definitely fit right in here!!  I spent a bit of time in the province of Quebec on a tour of Canada on my FJ.  I knew very little French and worked hard to get up to speed in the few days I was there.  Simple things like ordering breakfast became the biggest challenge at that moment.  I ran into some folks that ONLY spoke French and we had a mutual sympathy for each other in the communication process.  I also ran into folks that spoke both English and French and would do their best to accomodate my struggles.  In the end, what language someone spoke was irrelevant...it was the effort to connect with another person...no matter the differences that made all the difference.

Again...welcome...and don't worry about your English...s'il vous plait pardonnez-moi pour mon francais limite...

Et bien, Bonjour Delarbreavous  :good2:

Dit donc, j'ai comme l'impression que toi, par contre, tu le maîtrise le français  :good:

Merci, je n'hésiterai pas à faire appel à toi.

Mais je vais quand même me forcer à faire des efforts en english, ça ne peut pas faire de mal, bien au contraire. :bye:

A year or so back I spent a lot of time looking at FJ paint schemes. There are a lot of custom paint jobs out there but I couldn't find anything I thought looked good other than the original one. You could change the colours but I reckon Yamaha got the pattern right.

The problem with most of the paint jobs that look good on other bikes is the gap between the upper and lower fairing on the FJ.

The colour's don't need to be original but I reckon the pattern does. This is unless you go for a single colour all over.

I am painting my '92 in early model colours (Black, red and silver)

I was wanting to congratulate you on such a fine effort in your own tongue but I discovered all the superlatives I would have chosen in English are of French origin and therefore spelt the same. Anyway, well done!

I have seen another similar tool here recently that I know works very well.

(http://farm6.staticflickr.com/5072/7175620716_18860ab1a1_c.jpg)

I found the plastic tubing can very quickly collapse on itself and kink at the carby end from engine heat. I slipped these larger pieces of tubing (pictured) over them to prevent this.
Do you have restrictors in line to dampen the fluid response?  They also let you rev the motor without risk of the fluid being sucked into it.

What is the blue tube for?

What are the markings on your garage floor for?

Is that a car engine sitting on the floor and if so what is it from?

Hello,

Excuse me, but I will use the google translator because I have much to say, it will take too much time with the dictionary :yes:

Well, I upgraded the system by a base fluid distribution in copper

I also incorporated with homemade sprinkler heads syringe needles to tranquilize fluids as

it works nickel, carburetors are set


For the red lines on the ground, it's just the edges of the pit for working on cars it is convenient.
Then the engine on the ground at the bottom, it is completely empty, it was the engine of AX 1.4 Diesel 22 years, because with two engine I made one.
here it when finished
