The Yamaha FJ1100, a motorcycle that debuted in 1984, was a revolutionary machine, one that redefined sport touring for the Japanese marque and set a new standard for the category. The FJ1100 was essentially a road-going version of the successful Yamaha FZR1000, adopting its potent, air-cooled, four-cylinder engine and advanced suspension geometry. But where the FZR was designed for pure, racetrack performance, the FJ1100 was a more practical and comfortable machine, intended for long-distance touring. This was achieved through the inclusion of features like a larger fuel tank, a more comfortable seat, and a fairing designed to provide superior protection from the elements. With its 1,097cc engine, the FJ1100 was a powerful machine capable of impressive performance, surpassing even some of its contemporaries with higher engine displacements. It could reach a top speed of over 130 mph and accelerate from 0 to 60 mph in less than 5 seconds, making it one of the fastest motorcycles on the market. Its handling was praised for its precision and agility, thanks in part to its unique, four-valve, air-cooled engine, which offered a powerful and smooth power delivery that was both exhilarating and easy to control.

The 1987 Yamaha FJ1100, the model for which this repair manual is intended, further refined the FJ1100's formula. This model featured a number of updates, including a redesigned fairing with better wind protection, revised suspension for improved handling, and a new, more comfortable seat. The 1987 FJ1100 also benefited from the introduction of a new digital instrument panel, which provided riders with a clearer and more informative display of vital data. These improvements continued to solidify the FJ1100's reputation as a versatile and capable motorcycle, making it a popular choice for both casual riders and dedicated touring enthusiasts alike. The FJ1100 remains a beloved classic today, with its timeless design, strong powerplant, and comfortable ride continuing to impress. It's a testament to Yamaha's engineering prowess and a reminder of the enduring appeal of the sport touring category.
