Yamaha Other description
I'm the original owner of this fast (0-60 in 3.1 sec. according to the magazines) and rare (only 12 CA-spec FJs were made in '91) sport-touring modern classic. These are the motors used in "Legends" racecars, which ensures continued interest in and parts availability for this modern classic. This is a 22-year-old motorcycle. I can't list every tiny scratch or mark on it, but I have shown in the photos the most obvious. It is in excellent running condition and everything works except the rear brake light switch. ;-) The front brake light switch works fine. When you grab the front brakes, you have a brake light. There are certain occasions where one might want to brake without showing a light. Then you use only the rear brake. This is an easily replaceable switch if you enjoy paying speeding tickets. $500 due by Paypal within 48 hrs. of the auction end; balance due on delivery (cash or certified check only) or within 7 days of the auction end, whichever comes first. NOTE: Also advertising locally; may be ended early. If sold here first, local ad will be taken down.
I bought it new in May '91, and since covered almost 33K mi.
The 3/4 riding position is far more comfortable than a full-on sport bike while the air-cooled 1200-cc inline 4-cyl. motor and 5-spd give 90% of the performance. You can carve a canyon or do a 2-up 100-mph blast to Vegas!
Runs great and but for a few minor battle scars (see photos) is in excellent condition.
Improvements include Progressive Suspension front springs, FZR1000 R1 Gold Dot calipers, stainless lines, and an FJR 14-mm brake m/c. Also raised the rear 1 in. and dropped the fork tubes slightly in the tripletrees to sharpen the steering (most of the original parts are included in case you want to go back). Other than that, she's pretty much bone stock.
Tires are Pirelli Sport Demons w/ ~1K mi. on them.
The black tank cover isn't covering any ugliness, it's pristine underneath and the cover keeps it that way (no belt buckle scratches etc.). Of course it goes with the bike.
Recent work includes cleaned and synched carbs, fresh oil and filter, and a new clutch slave cylinder.
Includes the original tool kit, owner's manual, Genuine Yamaha Service Manual, and a bike cover. I also have a few spares (extra tail section, cam cover gasket, oil filter cover gasket, stuff like that) I'll throw in.
Registration is good through 5/2014.

EICMA 2011 Preview: 2012 Yamaha TMax – Scooterus Maximus [Video]
Tue, 18 Oct 2011The 2011 EICMA show in Milan is just a few weeks away and from what we’ve seen from the manufacturers so far, it looks like the prevailing theme this year is the maxi-scooter. Honda will present its 700cc dual clutch transmission Integra scooter at EICMA, BMW announced it will unveil two new maxi-scooters in Milan, and Aprilia is rebadging an 850cc V-Twin Gilera scooter as the SRV 850. And now Yamaha is jumping into the fray with an update to its popular TMax.
2013 Yamaha XT250 Receives Fuel Injection
Thu, 07 Jun 2012The Yamaha XT250 dual sport is getting a fuel injection system for the 2013 model year, replacing the previous model’s 33mm Teikei carburetor. Apart from fuel injection and new graphics, the only other changes are a new TCI ignition system in place of the 2012 model’s CDI ignition, and a slightly larger gas tank (2.6 gallons versus 2.4 gallons on last year’s model). The 249cc air-cooled SOHC engine and five-speed transmission remains unchanged.
Rossi Makes Progress but Hayden Suffers Shoulder Setback
Wed, 01 Feb 2012Ducati continues to develop its Desmosedici GP12 MotoGP race bike, setting modest goals while trying to establish a good setup. Already trailing the other factory teams in development time for its race prototypes, Ducati continued to try to find good base settings for the GP12. Valentino Rossi achieved the team’s goal of lapping under two minutes and two seconds with a time of 2:01.886 while completing 44 laps on the second day of testing at Malaysia’s Sepang circuit.
