Found this article on the FJ1200 when roaming the web a while ago, haven't seen a link to it here, so here it goes:

All the magazines listed the chain as a 630.

I rather liked the preceding line as well ... "Yamaha's FJ1200 is a survivor because it is an intelligent machine, one with wisdom tempered by fire."

I still dont know why Yamaha stopped manufacturing them..

They did start with the FJRs though.. Maybe the design was looking too much out of date
