I wired up my 86' fuel petcock....Don't want the damn thing falling off.....Starting fires and such....

i dont know where the chock is on my fj1200 please somebody help

FJmonkey

Is this a real question? chock?.....If misspelled for the fuel petcock then it is bolted to the bottom of your fuel tank. If it is not a misspell then WTF?

FJmonkey

Maybe he meant the choke for cold starts....maybe my bad....Left side, looks like a pull knob on 86/87 models. Pull out to choke, push in to unchoke.... :flag_of_truce:

On the 87, the choke is on the left inner fairing (black piece of plastic) about half way up.
It should have a knob that says choke, but some are missing the knob at that point there would be a shaft shicking out instead.
Hope this helps, it's great that we have female FJrs  :hi:

Knocked over with a feather.....Not many FJ owners can say that. Welcome again. Tell us your story on how you came to to be an FJ owner and ride a very prized edition of the 86/87 bike. I am partial to the 86/87, best looking bikes. Almost as good as the one with the manly pink stripe. 

If your coke knob is missing from the Left side you will need a few things to make it right. To get things started you can pull the post out with a pare of pliers, back in the same way. For going places either keep the pliers handy or get a knob and a the screw to secure it.
