Welcome Conley, there seems to be no shortage of them 86 FJ's here. Doesn't sound like you'll have a problem fixing your FJ but if something comes up
you'll be in good hands here

Welcome Conley.

You've found the right place for help, such that you need it.

Welcome aboard Conley,

Just a caution that has also been given to other FJ "first bike" members......
BE CAREFUL !!
Go take a MSF course, and realize that the FJ is a heavy, fast bike for a new rider.
Now that we've got you in the family, we'd like you to stay and enjoy the ride.

Cheers,
Arnie

I didn't notice him say it was his first bike until I seen your comment.. Head his warning carefully.. I started out with the smaller cc's and worked up. Please be careful. The FJ, She demands alot of respect.

+1 to Flips and Arnie. Big heavy bike with tonnes of grunt. Demands respect and skill to enjoy to the mostest. Ride safe, and enjoy the Yami FJ, just a lovely sweet ride

Welcome to the group.
