what rims to use

[yamaha fj rider]

Louie if you all ready have a wheel, it only makes sense to use it. Make sure that it's not to wide and the bolt pattern for the brake rooters is the same.

Wow, what a thread. I have been looking for a 17x3.5 front rim for my 1990, and seem to remember reading that pre 2003 FZ1 would fit. Long story cut short, found one, ordered it, and it arrived . . .  disc mounts very different and doesn't look like the mechanical speedo would fit either. Buggar !!
Anyway, spoke to the Sydney wrecker today and he is happy to take it back, but I need to find the correct one.
Seems it is not the FZ1 I need but the FZR1000/750. OK, got that bit, couple more questions, what years would fit, is it only the 87/88, and I assume all other FJ bits would fit, blue spots, discs, axle, speedo drive for example.
Been using the search function, boy is there some info to wade through !!
Anyway, for all those members whose information and advice has helped me to where I am with EFFIE1, a huge thanks.

Oh, BTW, just fitted a 14mm clutch master after struggling with the old one and an extra steel clutch spring for the last 12 months, what a difference ! 2 fingers and no slip, awesome.

Cheers, Dazza

Yep, FZR 87/ 88 are the only years that will bolt on with no mods. Did my 1990 this last winter. Can I ask what clutch master did you use ? .  There is literally hours of reading and digesting information here. as with most older bikes, you will become the expert... Or at least have a good idea of whats going on.

George, I asked for an FJR1300 clutch master and specified 14mm. I received a Nissin, which I don't think were normal on a Yamaha, but it is black, has the rectangular reservoir (not the urine cup) and adjustable lever. All good.

Pretty sure they were Aisin like the rest of the brake components.
