Lots of help here and a ton of knowledge. RPM Racing has just about everything you need and are really great people. Welcome to the campfire and watch for the moditus bug it will surely bite. Big R

Welcome, you jumped in with 2 FJs a 3rd gen and a 4th gen. Ride the 88 first, then the 92. If the rubber mounts for engine are in good shape you should notice that the 92 is less buzzy.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Hmmm... could you be more specific?  Let's start with a time zone.  :mocking:

Just down the road from me in Scarborough.  I have a 92 ABS too. Coming up in April/May there has been a spring bike clinic hosted by a fellow member in the Niagara region over the last few years. Keep an eye out for a post re this. Good time to get together and tweak some maintenance items like balancing carbs, clutch work, rubber engine mounts, etc. before the season gets into full swing.

There has also been a late summer/early fall Camp'n'Ride/Rally north of Kingston.  A very good time shredding brain cells and sportying around the back roads.

Looking forward to meeting up sometime this riding season.   :good2:

Is that the blue and white bikes you are talking about if so yes, the blue bike needs a bit of work, the 2 air intake cowlings and the head light side cowling. I don't know what was done to this bike however it is scary fast. The whit bike is very nice I will post pictures.
