figured id go ahead and jump on here since my next bike is going to be an FJ1200, started riding on a 1996 xj600 a couple of years ago, someone stole that, so when the money came back i figured id see what all the fuss on a gsx-r was, grabbed a 750 cause i figured it was about time to go higher, loved it, good bike for going fast, and beautiful on twisties, if not abit on the heavy side(cant count that against a 92 i guess). then when i thrashed the carbs on that i wasn't sure where to go, a buddy of mine back in KY suggested a test out his FJ, i immediately fell in love, I'm sure its more CC's then i will ever need, and my wife has decided to up the life insurance policy, but its a beautiful machine made from happiness extracted from the dreams of babies.
guess that went long winded, either way, i should be picking up the FJ this sunday, lightly modified, just an exhaust from what i can tell, but the guy I'm getting it from didn't exactly have perfect records, fairings have some rash, fork seals need replaced, and the carbs could probably use a good cleaning and syncing, but I'm very excited about going back to a yamaha, and even more stoked i found such a great site to get all the info(and maybe a few friends) from
Welcome to FJ land.We all love the FJ here.

great line..... Welcome to the group brother!
KOokaloo!
thats not what the sig is supposed to say, that was supposed to be the message to my buddy on facebook, wasnt paying attn when i wrote that
got hands on this thing today, rode it from Denver, to co springs, the brake's def need to be bled, and i need to change out the fork seals for sure, but over all it feels pretty great to own the FJ
I am new to this forum as well & I also had a 96 xj600 (although mine was never stolen) you will be very happy with the FJ. I just got mine this year & put 2,500 mi on it so far & I'm loving every one of them. :biggrin:
seems to be a trend there, with people owning the diversion before owning the FJ gotta love the yama's :)
