First I want to ask if there a site or else where I can find correct information for my bike? For example I had one car Nissan micra and found a site where I wrote the VIN number and the site gave me all information about the car like exact model, year of manifacture, eguipment, specs....etc. Is there something similar for FJ?

Not exactly what you are looking for, but it something to look at.

The specs are easy to get, just Google "fj1100" or "fj1200 specs"

Nikolay,

Welcome to this crazy place.    :hi:   

Make a Google search for the key words

Yamaha VIN decoder

and you will get several choices.  Some sites are not very good, but some sites may be helpful.

Cheers,

Those are factory collors  :yahoo:  Here is only missing the part which is down near the exaust pipes because I had just change the oil. The past owner of the bike has made custom parts which connect that missing part beside exaust pipes with upper parts (I'm sorry that I don't know the exact name in english of the parts but here we don't have an english/bulgarian dictionary of bike parts) and they was hiding the engine, but I remove them because all of the hot air from the engine was going in to my balls  :biggrin:

Original colours for an 1100,  :unknown: obviously Yamaha had the pink stripe colour scheme worked out way before the 90's.

Funny that, I've been doing the same thing, but in my head. (I live with other people who already have their doubts)
