Hi folks,

My names Bob from bonnie Scotland i've just bought my first FJ1200, it's a 1991 1200abs model, she has 22 thousand  genuine miles.  Excellent condition all round.

Was told by a few folk that these are really good bikes, i get her within the next few weeks and really looking forward to getting out and putting some miles on her.

Cheers,

Bob..

Many thanks folk's , got her on Wednesday, so far quite happy with her.  It has some vibration when i go in to fourth gear not sure if this is normal?.  Need to balance the carbs, and do a fluid and filter change.

Re Scottish roads, we have some stunning scenery and roads here, just need the sun to stay out long enough to enjoy them  :good2:

I have some pics i'll post up.

if that year model has vibration i would also be servicing the front engine mounts.... they are probably siezed.


I believe there is a writeup on that in the files section
