I had to laugh, recalling the number of times people have asked me.... "What kind of bike is that?"
Duuh....
List the *all* the *exterior* locations on the *oem* 1984 or 1985 FJ1100 where the word "Yamaha" appears. Yamaha was obviously proud of these machines.
A jelly donut for the first correct answer.
<edit> only the "exterior" locations, no need to tear the motor apart or remove the tank or side panels....
before or after mods?
Duh you said oem, sorry
I would guess 9 obvious ones, but I am sure if I lifted covers here and there, I could probably find several more.
I'll go with 6.
Nope, not even close....keep counting. I was surprised.
I got 12.
Front Fairing -1
Rear Faring -2
Tank - 4
Chin Spoiler - 6
Engine - 8
Brake Calipers - 11
Gauges - 12
Off the top of my head, on my '90: Both master cyls, both sides of the tank, above the headlight, on the edge of the tail, both sides of the engine..... can't think of any others.
I think it varies by year, also...
the aluminum footpegs had it on them as well.....
I'm going with 16
Kookaloo!
Frank is close....but no cigar. Yes, Yamaha is on the aluminum footpegs. Not sure that it's on the steel ones 'thou...
Let me sweeten the pot. I have a Motion Pro carb stick that I will send to the winner...
Ya gotta do some work for this and *list* the locations like Hans did. No WAG on numbers....
For example:
Gas tank.... 2
Engine....... 2 etc, etc....

That's awesome of you Pat!! :good2: Makes me wish I had an OEM 84 in the garage...I'd be on the floor crawling all over that bike right now!

What made me think of this was that I noticed with my '84, and all the mods, I only have "Yamaha" left in 5 exterior locations.....Got me thinking...
I love my new Morgan Carbtune. It's time to let my trusty MP mercury carb stick go to a loving home...

FYI, it's closer but it's not the number I have, but then again I forgot about the footpegs...everyone add 2 locations for the aluminum footpegs.

Randy, close but I don't think "Yamaha" is on the side panels (as in side covers?) FJ1100 is on them, but not "Yamaha" unless I missed a small part.
I don't think Yamaha is on the rear tail painted area, yes, it's above the license plate but you already counted it.

Close Leon. Missed a few... and only the oem aluminum footpegs have Yamaha. (2 locations) The rear (passenger) footpegs do not have Yamaha
Pat, are you counting the molded in "YAMAHA" on the plastics..........such as on the chin fairing etc?

I did not read the original correctly; I thought you said specific FJ badging...That was my guess. I only have my 86 to reference so the rest would be a swag...
Thanks, Randy
Yeppers, good catch Harvy, sharp eye..... All exterior locations on the stock 84/85 bikes where Yamaha appears

Close but no cigar laddie....To double check, I just had to take my flashlight out to the garage and pull out my oem 16" rims I've saved...yep, no Yamaha on the rims.
There is a small tuning fork symbol, but no Yamaha.....
Ding, ding, ding.....we have a winner! Congrats Leon. PM me your mailing address if you would like the Motion Pro carb stick, if you don't need it, let me know.

No. Do your side covers have the words "Yamaha" on them?
:wacko2:
Brain fart
Pat, PM sent!
I can use the carb stick now, but I'll take you up on the jelly donut when we both make it to a future rally!
