"The 70mpg FJ1100" - Getting more from your FJ1100

[Mark Olson]

checking in at 47 , started with a minibike at 5 yrs old . I have had so many motorcycles I can't even name them all .

my words of wisdom : ride your own ride , go fast or go slow but ride your ability . there is always someone better than you . be your own man.

cheers my fj brothers

this is easily fixed by taking off first giving one a head start, the hard part is slipping their bike key in your pocket

well so far everyone is still able to do there own helmet up, and not young enough to need help or too old to remember how  , so were still here for the love of Fj,s

I wouldnt want my fj set up with 19/38 sprockets because I like to ride daily.On the other hand I have more than one bike so one set up for mpg would be nice.I would only use it to go see my daughter in Tenn.Would use 1/2 the gas.Could bring sprockets with and swap them for riding when there if I wanted.
Save money on long road trips

19,38 gearing would be interesting on long rides , with lots of straight roads ,, as for the head start, a few of us used to pull up next to each other at traffic lights ect, and just as the lights changed, flick your mates kill switch off, and ride away  as you do it , only in town as would be even more dangerous on a highway set of lights, , we must have grown up , as we no longer do this

Was it sorta like this?   
This is my son's 1967 Suzuki K11P, I believe the K15 was the trail model.

Yep that is the one only it was red. It was a blast to ride , made an expansion chamber for it and really po,d the neihbours with the noise. Graduated to a honda sport 90. and the to a Kawasaki A7 avenger 350. That thing had a lot of power for a 350. Got into hot rodding for a while and didn,t have a bike for quit a while. Bought a 1982 Yamaha 920 virago, then a 82 Suzuki GS 1100E and now my FJ. Just picked a 84 wingfor me and the missus to tour on. She won,t ride on the fj. Big R
