FOUND - 1989 FJ1200

[Mark Olson]

yes the 86 had the best 1/4 mile time........test run by a midget with ninja like reflexes ...

[lawson]

Yes -you are right this is debatable.The 86 had a better 1/4 et but the 89 was quicker in roll-on performance.Here's why i feel 89 is quickest year.I had 89 new back in 89 and had friends with 86's.Remembering back then 89 felt more responsive between the two -which is why i went with 89.As we all did the first add on was installing Supertrapp.With both bikes -86 and 89,having Supertrapps and all else being equal the 89 walks away from 86.I remember seeing friends 86 in my mirror.The reason why is the end pipe -megaphone-on a 89-90 Supertrapp is 6" shorter than Supertrapp for a 84-87.Better pipe was made for 89 -90 by Supertrapp.Part number on end pipe for 89 is 027-4120 and 86 is 027-3070.The number is stamped on flange tab.Also for anyone with 91 -93 number is 027-4122.The supertrapp for 91-93 is a system only for these years.Earlier year Supertrapp WILL NOT FIT 91-93.It requires a "s" pipe that goes between header and end pipe which came with system new -where previous year Supertrapps were end pipe into header.So be aware of this if one comes up on ebay and you think you have a Supertrapp now for your 91.

uhh, come to a rally and try your roll on. all the fj's hang together with ease.

[andyb]

Eh, just throw some gear at it if you want better rollons..

[Travis398]

ohh that's it, roll on.

I don't like roll on.

I find it easier skipping the rooooooooooooolllllllllllll on, by down shifting a gear (or 2)

[carsick]

Travis, you would have to be going slow in the first place in order to accelerate up again. Doesn't seem like that's a problem very often. You seem to stay above any midrange flat spot. But maybe I should put a Supertrapp on my "new" bike and come over to run against you. Just for research of course.

What -a fj owner slumped over his handlebars in the dirt on the side of the road.Do "your rallies" have a different meaning than what the "Real" rallies are to be.Here we go -i returned second punch and still standing - Next!   

[Dan Filetti]

Lawson, since your swinging and all, I'll throw out a request I probable would not otherwise.  Your posts are more difficult to read than they could be if you simply put two spaces after each period. .  .  .  .  -see it's not so very hard.

Respectfully,

Dan

[lawson]

Justreadthedammthingfaster!  Yes - i will write more legible.  You will never hear me shout about my typing skills - i'm in back of pack here.  And no - i am not swinging - with this group don't need to.  Its all good -

One space will do, Dan. The whole "two spaces after periods" thing is an old standard that applies to typewriters, which had a standard spacing between each letter. Computer fonts are designed better than that, so one single space is the style standard. Lawson just wasn't using any spaces at all.
