Hi guys! My name is Nikolay Ivanov and I'm from Bulgaria :bye: About one year ago I bought my fj1100 and till now I had only maintenance problems. I hope after two or three months will take a ride for first time :yes: I have reаd a lot of useful information here so want to say "Thank you" to all members of this forum!
PS: Please, excuse my bad english :blush:

First I want to ask if there a site or else where I can find correct information for my bike? For example I had one car Nissan micra and found a site where I wrote the VIN number and the site gave me all information about the car like exact model, year of manifacture, eguipment, specs....etc. Is there something similar for FJ?
Not exactly what you are looking for, but it something to look at.

The specs are easy to get, just Google "fj1100" or "fj1200 specs"
This is interesting, I'll check it tomorrow (here is two o'clock AM now) thank you for fast answer and have a nice day!!!

Nikolay,
Welcome to this crazy place. :hi:
Make a Google search for the key words
Yamaha VIN decoder
and you will get several choices. Some sites are not very good, but some sites may be helpful.
Cheers,
Red
Yesterday was my first ride :yahoo: Here is my beauty :wacko1:

Good lookin FJ! Hows she run? Welcome :hi:
WOW! Are those factory colors?? I like it, but my brain just can't process an FJ1100 that isn't red/white/silver!!! CAN NOT COMPUTE :wacko3:
Those are factory collors :yahoo: Here is only missing the part which is down near the exaust pipes because I had just change the oil. The past owner of the bike has made custom parts which connect that missing part beside exaust pipes with upper parts (I'm sorry that I don't know the exact name in english of the parts but here we don't have an english/bulgarian dictionary of bike parts) and they was hiding the engine, but I remove them because all of the hot air from the engine was going in to my balls :biggrin:
Original colours for an 1100, :unknown: obviously Yamaha had the pink stripe colour scheme worked out way before the 90's.

Funny that, I've been doing the same thing, but in my head. (I live with other people who already have their doubts)

These days the weather conditions were good so I ride approximately 60 miles and found some troubles like leaks from the front fork and both clutch pumps...
That is a great looking bike! I'm a big fan of the full fairing (around the engine)...Just like the way it looks. Not sure how it effects cooling on the engine though.
Welcome ! That is a great looking bike.
George
Welcome Nikolay, good looking FJ you have posted...
Everybody knows that I would like this bike.
Very cool to see an earlier version of such a prized and highly regarded paint scheme.!
Welcome to our madness, Nikolay!
Leon
Oh.... but there's some bad news (for me).... after I changed fork seals, fork oil, all brake pads, brake fluid, spark plugs, motor oil and filters, front and back tyres.... today my clutch passed away :dash1: Can someone tell me the dimensions of the friction disk, pleace :sorry: :sorry: :sorry:
