1985 Yamaha FJ1100 STOLEN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ogmudbone]

hey yall, today feb 18,09 i went out to go to the dr. and my bike had been stolen. they broke into a truck and stole the battery and a tool kit that they then used to steal my FJ. took every bolt out of the windshield and left it sitting pretty on the hood of my car for me . and left the tool kit and my broken ignition switch where my beloved FJ used to sit.

im in vancouver washington....so if you see an 85 FJ with no windscreen run that hunk of shit over...na just call the police

im very pissed and heart broken..i loved that bike.

John,

That's terrible man....I feel for ya!  Not much to say...but if it were to crop up on craigslist or ebay or whatever...this group will spot it.  Are there any other unique identifying marks or mods to look out for?

I wonder why the hell they took the windsheild off?!?!

[jamesearthdrum]

Man who does this kind of shit!!!! I am very sorry to hear this. Who'd have thought a 24yr old bike would be stolen with all the modern stuff out there. Not good!! They probably took the windshield off to get it in a van.

thanks for your sympathy...no mods at all..bike is bone stock...and inded there was a suzuki sv 650 2 stalls over and they tried to steal it but couldn't pop the ignition switch so they moved to my old girl.

A couple of unique marks to look for on the bike are on the plastics.

The main fairing has two yellow marker lights on it (one on each side), and on the tail section just below the seat latches there are two holes where another yellow marker light was (one on each side).

The headlight relay mod had been done, and there was a PIAA headlamp installed.  Rear shock was blown and leaking oil.

I can't think of anything else at the moment.

Oh also ...if I don't get my bike back...I just bought an 89 fzr1000 rear wheel and tire, 89 FJ forks, R6 calipers and a 14mm brake master cylinder(Kawasaki ZRX1100)...looks like I might have to sell all this stuff off right after I hunted it all up ...

I'm furious and heartbroken all at once.

John thats a damn shame after you got her going with friends help. Keep an eye out for it and perhaps it will turn up. I feel for you lad as these bikes become part of our hearts. I do hope the police find it and get her back to you soon. Dont go selling the upgrade parts just yet, lets hope you get your baby back without too much damage....

My condolences Eric M

That sucks, what a sinking feeling when you go out and there is a empty space were your bike should
be. "I feel your pain". Never had a bike stolen but have had 2 cars stolen. I hope it shows up for you.

Thanks for the good thoughts y'all...I guess my computer calendar was off...Feb 17th @ 9:15 a.m. I discovered my baby gone.

Yeah I'm gonna hold on to my parts for the mods for a few weeks....if it doesn't turn up in that time tho the chances are super slim.

It's funny I just bought the bike last summer....and I felt like my girlfriend dumped me when I found her gone.that and immense severe anger.

there is a guys Suzuki sv650 2 stalls over from mine...they punched the lock on his bike too. but you cant get to the switch on that Suzuki and you can get to the switch on the FJ. the bike (mine) has a dead battery so its not like they hot wired it and rode off.

I can only imagine the motivation was to buy dope (amphetamines anyone???) as they broke into a truck across the lot and stole the battery out of it, and the tool kit they used to remove my windshield, they left the stolen tools on the ground where my FJ was parked.....grrrrrr.....

I wanna do such bad things to the fuckin twacks that stole my bike.

Man, John that's tough, I know what your going through. Had my baby stolen shortly after I bought it. But keep a good thought you never know. I still remember the cop telling me I'd never see my bike again, he said "Hell, they stole my boat right outa my front yard." but I did get it back. The miscreant did something to atrract the attention of a LEO in the next county and when he slammed the throttle to make good his escape, it yanked the throttle cable right out of the plastic connector.  You never know.

"I wanna do such bad things to the fuckin twacks that stole my bike."

I totally understand John. But dont make it worse on yourself by getting involved unless you see the bike, then call the law if they are willing to help or......... take you baby back from them..... Good luck.

Hey Brother,

John,

do a neighborhood search where you live for your bike.

way back when my rd daytona 400 was stolen I found it two days later in an alley with a dead battery and no gas left. so don't give up hope just yet.

my daughters car was stolen recently and the cops said the thieves will drive around till they run out of gas and dump it. well three days after that I caught the thieves red handed driving the car and pinned them with the service truck and removed them from the car and forcibly detained them until the cops showed up. zip ties and duct tape were involved. they were happy to see the cops.
