Hi folks! I've been fixing up old bikes since I was a teen and just scored a nice 1992 FJ1200 project bike that's been high on my bucket list!

Congratulations!

Many of us here have also been tinkering with bikes since well into the last century, welcome to the machine.

This group has been the #1 place I've found useful for working on the FJ's, it is a fantastic wealth of information, and I thank everyone here for what you've done.

I hope you find the FJ as enjoyable to work on as I have. The engineering is fantastic, I mean, as soon as I pulled the tank and found how rewarding the valve adjustment was, I was sold.

Again, welcome.

To the machine
