Welcome Glen, let us know how we can help...and no such thing as a stupid question.

If the seller does not have a owners manual, you can down load one (free) in the Files section.

FYI, the '89's came stock with a 17" front rim, however, in looking at the small picture you posted, it appears that the rear rim on that bike is still the stock 16" rim (along with judging by the tall sidewall of the tire)
Maybe it just the angle of the picture....you may want to check that out....

Cheers. Pat

Thanks, I'll check the tire. It's hard not having it at home! :dash2:
If I find an ambulance this winter it will be mine, don't tell my wife!

A few more pics.....back of dealers shop waiting for tires.


Good eye, the rear is 16" :negative:

I guess my winter projects have gone from paint to paint and 17" rear conversion, lots of great info on this site. Should be straight forward, order the parts and game on.
I'll keep everyone posted.

Welcome.  Looks like a great score.  There's a few of us popping up all over Canada.  Great site, and good people.  Enjoy.

Wow, picked her up at the dealers yesterday.....everything that I've read on this sight is absolutely correct! Love the low end torque/roll on power, very comfortable for a long ride ( was on it for over 4 hours last night ) and seems effortless to control. I'm a big man ( 6'4" and 235 ) the bike fits me like a glove, completley impressed with my new ride.

Your fj looks real clean, and good shape, I like the silver, plus it's so much newer than mine.
