Kinda cool huh? All that nerdy info in one (long ass) table.....
We could take turns and populate it as we go....I would add a column for a place to cite a reference.
Marsh and Bill, you guys could hand out the various homework assignments with a free prize (FJ upgrade) for the folks who contribute the most work (hint; hit me off line)
It's a hell of a lot of work but we could really have some fun with this...
Would also need separate columns for the different years.
I'd help... :good2:
Greg March had done something similar.

Yea, that's a good start but we could do better.....

Tell ya what Pat, I think this is a great idea.
I have really dropped the bat on the files area and for that I sincerely apologize to everyone here. Life got in the way of all but quick looks online. When I started trying to move the files I found a lot of incomplete and conflicting information. I found files which I found to be questionable based on my knowledge of the topic and in all honesty I was too chicken to point this out and risk offending long time members and friends.I couldn't find the time to research and clean up the files. Basically I failed.
In light of that, how about this. I will create an excel spreadsheet over the next few days mirroring the one posted. Once th table is done I will make it available to anyone who is interested in this project to fill in the details. Once completed and fact checked I will finish it up and attach it to the board.
Fair enough?
Thanks Bill! Fair Enough!
Oh - I don't think you dropped the ball on anything here...and I do appreciate your candor on the conflicting files information. You have been a great resource here for information and wit! I'm disappointed I won't be able to ride with you again at this ECFR...I did enjoy our ride last time...even though you were on that pussy ass 600...
I look forward to the next ride. I will keep the mini bike around in hopes of your return. After all it's only fair as I have the home court advantage.... Right now I am busy trying to de-track bike it so I can go play in the mountains. Dean will only let me play on the FJR since the FJ is way too fast for me.
Thanks Bill! You're doing a fine job, no worries.....
The (recommended mandatory) reference column should help *us* quickly fact check.
When I say *us* in mean all of us. This is a big task Bill and please don't feel like you have to do it alone.
Speaking of fact checks; this guy has a pfd file of a 1984 FJ1100 Yamaha Service Manual we could use in our library: http://fjowners.com/index.php?topic=828.0 (http://fjowners.com/index.php?topic=828.0)
However, Marsh, please guide me here. If we don't have enough storage available to start accumulating Service Manuals please disregard.
I was thinking that the files section with the various years Service Manuals would be cool...
Later gator..

FWIW, (as far as I know) the original ('84) is the only complete A-Z manual - all following years (at least up through '91) were covered with supplements that only document the changes from previous.

I have all of the factory service manuals and the supplements for all year FJ on a disc. Hopefully I can get started tonight.

Done as of last night. Has been sitting with the lever compressed with a zip tie since in hopes that this version of voodoo will work better than the FJR list version....

Pat, here is a very quick copy of the list shown at the FZ1 group but modified (slightly) for our use. I broke the bikes into 4 categories based on years but I am not as familiar with the bikes as I should be by now. So far very little work was involved as I was able to convert the FZ1 list into excel in a few seconds. Fill in whatever information you feel like (this goes for everybody) or better yet someone adopt at least 1 model group and fill it in. All I ask is that we keep it simple. do not alter the spreadsheet except to fill in the blanks. That way I can quickly and easily update the list as information comes in. If anyone wants to add (or delets information I will create a sheet for that purpose and edit it into the master.
To submit email it to me at notayama53@yahoo.com and for the record My penis is plenty big, and works just fine sans porn. Thanks anyway.
OK posting the spreadsheet is a no go. Email me at the address above for a copy (Marsh use your super secret ninja geek skills to make this happen)
attached is a .pdf of the list to use as a cheat sheet.
Bill, this looks fine although there is no table for reference notes (orgin:where the info. came from)
I will be leaving town for a week (Reno Air Races) but when I come back I'll start on the tables.
When Marsh can work his magic and get the table up for everyone to imput the info, let's post a request for help on the other sections.
Cheers! and thanks again. I'll check back in next week.
Pat
I will try to add something. Have fun at the races and shake Bob Hannah's hand for me. (A guys gotta have his heroes)
