Nice work. I'm impressed. That tape idea is brilliant! It'd be fun watching me just remove a wheel. The vid would last 40 mins and be full of roaring and swearing and end up with me covered in sweat and chain loob as it's my pet hate, especially as bikes now don't have centre stands. I guess the job is much easier with a single disc but then again at least two thirds of tyre changes are rears. Tip: It's worth asking if your local tyre depot (cars) will fit tyres to loose wheels. Mine does it for a tenner as opposed to £30 at bike shops.
Suggestion: Remove disk brake from wheel. I once made the dumb mistake of putting too much pressure on disk & it ended up warped. Had to purchase a new disk rotor. Love the FJ12 ! Have one of my own.
Hi, i have the same luggage rack on my fj1100 with hepco&becker side cases, but i had to make modifications to fit h&b topcase. Do you know who is the manufacturer of the rack and what is top rack originally for? Thanx, Ivan, Croatia
Hello, good question. I know that hepco and becker made luggage racks that fit for the Yamaha fj1100 and 1200. Hepco and backer is a german producer. Maybe you can find something by searching on google ;)
I just bought one of these bikes. Same exact one you have silver grey and white with Red Stripe. Mine has a 140/90/16 on the rear. I see your putting a 150/80/16 on. Do you think I can get a 160 on it? I have no Idea why the 80 year old man I bought the bike from put a 140/90 on the back. but I see it says 150/80 on the specs on google. But I am wondering if a 160 would fit
