Pop Quiz for the owners of the 84/85 FJ1100s

[Pat Conlon]

I had to laugh, recalling the number of times people have asked me.... "What kind of bike is that?"

Duuh....

List the *all* the *exterior* locations on the *oem* 1984 or 1985 FJ1100 where the word "Yamaha" appears. Yamaha was obviously proud of these machines.

A jelly donut for the first correct answer.

<edit> only the "exterior" locations, no need to tear the motor apart or remove the tank or side panels....

before or after mods?


Duh you said oem, sorry

[Travis398]

I would guess 9 obvious ones, but I am sure if I lifted covers here and there, I could probably find several more.

I'll go with 6.

[Pat Conlon]

Nope, not even close....keep counting. I was surprised.

[hpras]

I got 12.

Front Fairing -1
Rear Faring -2
Tank - 4
Chin Spoiler - 6
Engine - 8
Brake Calipers - 11
Gauges - 12

Off the top of my head, on my '90:  Both master cyls, both sides of the tank, above the headlight, on the edge of the tail, both sides of the engine..... can't think of any others.

I think it varies by year, also...

 the aluminum footpegs had it on them as well.....


I'm going with 16


Kookaloo!

[Pat Conlon]

Frank is close....but no cigar.  Yes, Yamaha is on the aluminum footpegs. Not sure that it's on the steel ones 'thou...

Let me sweeten the pot. I have a Motion Pro carb stick that I will send to the winner...

Ya gotta do some work for this and *list* the locations like Hans did. No WAG on numbers....

For example:

Gas tank.... 2
Engine....... 2   etc, etc....

That's awesome of you Pat!!     Makes me wish I had an OEM 84 in the garage...I'd be on the floor crawling all over that bike right now!

Nineteen   Twenty 

[Pat Conlon]

What made me think of this was that I noticed with my '84, and all the mods, I only have "Yamaha" left in 5 exterior locations.....Got me thinking...
I love my new Morgan Carbtune. It's time to let my trusty MP mercury carb stick go to a loving home...

Let me sweeten the pot. I have a Motion Pro carb stick that I will send to the winner...

Randy....shit can't you follow instructions?  Is that a WAG?  Prove it big boy...list 'em 
  FYI, it's closer but it's not the number I have, but then again I forgot about the footpegs...everyone add 2 locations for the aluminum footpegs.

In the event that the winner does not want the carb stick, I'll send it to the next runner up.....and so on..

1 - front of fairing above head light
2 - front calipers
1 - fuel gage
2 - back side of mirrors
