Hi! I'm Chris. This is my first post, however I've been visiting long enough to feel like I know some of you already. So a quick hello from Dallas, TX. Just recently acquired my childhood dream bike, a 1985 FJ1100! Seems to be in very good condition, 21k miles. Runs very well, but based on my reading here, pretty sure the idle jets are obstructed (poor throttle response with no choke). I'm a novice mechanic, at best (but willing to learn/try) so I suspect I'll be asking for advice on how to best proceed. Appreciate y'all! Take care,
Chris
Welcome to the nuthouse. :hi:
You found a very nice looking 1100.
Fred
Hi there Fred. Thank you kindly!
Chris
Welcome, its nice when a lurker comes out and says hi. You got the best colors.
...but a well intentioned lurker! Thanks dude, feel fortunate to have found it!
Chris
Guess I could mention that before getting the FJ, my daily commuter was an '07 Honda CB250 Nighthawk...fun, economical ride, however...I am totally STOKED with the new ride!
Chris
Welcome ! Your bike looks great. Ask questions anytime. Better to ask first, lots of good help here.

Welcome to the forum Chris . Great looking bike. Nice to hear from a fellow FJer in this area. Maybe we could get together for a ride. My FJ has been to Sachse a few times visiting my sister there. PM me. Dave
Welcome to the fore Chris!
I have to say...that is one of the cleanest FJ1100's I've ever seen! Seriously...was that ever ridden? Great find!!

Chris,
Welcome to the fray! Had to go out the garage, and make sure mine had not migrated to Texas. :biggrin:
Cheers,
