Okay, just so l understand correctly...only '91-'93 had rubberized engine mounts, is that right?

Correct!

What? No love for the '94/'95/'96 FJ's? (popcorn)

Just pulling your leg Hawkman....1993 was the last year FJ's were imported to the USA, although Yamaha produced the Gen 4 FJ1200 until 1996 which were sold everywhere else (except the USA)

Clear as mud?

Got it!

Did they import them to Canada until '96? And, if so, how hard are they to bring in?

I believe that by the mid '90's, the Japanese manufacturers began grouping Canada and the US into one (North America) when deciding which models to send. I am going to say the 1994-1996 3XW models were sold in the UK, Europe, Asia and Australia only.

On a sub note.... I know of 1 member in the US that has a '95 model (Sold in Japan and privately brought to the US). There is also 1 member in Canada that has an Italian spec 1100 that has the blue and white paint scheme that was never offered in North America.
