Someone gave me a 1990 FJ 1200 and after cleaning the fuel tank and carberators and replacing the fuel line, fuel filter, battery, airbox and other items, it acutally runs! I have never owned a motorcycle, but I am grealt enjoying riding in sunny SC.
Welcome, we are on a first name basis here, so let us know what you want us to call you.
SC, does that mean Southern Calif? If so, there are a few of us around your area.
FJ as a first bike? Be very careful, she can be a handful at low speeds. Get to a MSF school for a good primer on the basics. Don't take the FJ, take a smaller bike with you to the class. Education is most important.
Cheers!
:hi: Congrats the FJ is a nice gift. Pat is right new rider and the FJ is a big powerful bike please take some classes. Welcome just about anything you want or need to know about the FJ can be found here. Lots of good people here who are willing to help. :good:

+1 on the riding classes and Welcome. Ya got a real piece of art there, be ashame to scratch it unnecessarily. The classes are a great social tool too. Ya don`t make that many mates in hospital - and they moan a lot. (popcorn)
