Where's a good place to get parts for an '85 Yamaha FJ600?
Not looking for internal stuff, just things like brake cylinder rebuild kits, tune-up parts, maybe a speedo, etc.

Where are you located as there are many OC, Calif. MC wrecking yards and even Pick Your Parts have MC's for parting too!
Seals might be sourced thur an industral seal suppliers like Parker Hannifin.

I'm on the other coast...South Carolina. I was wondering if anyone knew of a catalog or online source for parts? I did find www.oldbikebarn.com |

I had a hint of that, but if you want, I'll try and get a couple of business cards and give you phone #'s to call. This will be when I have the time and I'm driving by them.
Try factory Yamaha dealers as I think they have a system within all the dealers to locate NOS parts for the customers.

When I had my suzuki I used www.bikebandit.com a few times. You can shop OEM or aftermarket. |

Thanks guys.
The local Yamaha dealer is of no help. They don't even want to talk about anything over 10 years old and half the staff are 19 year old gixxers that only know what "looks cool, man".

Cool, thanks for all the links. I traced the front brake problem to a plugged line between the master cylinder and the union. I was able to find a supply house in town that made me a new hose for $7.48! Cheap enough, huh? Now, time to put it back together and try my hand at bleeding the brakes on a motorcycle....

Gravity bleeding is the easiest way to go on bikes. |

Here's a pic of the bike. A guy I work with had it for sale. One owner, dealer serviced, 26,000 miles...just suffering from "sitting bike sydrome". It's an '85 Yamaha FJ600. Just a couple more afternoons and some elbow grease and she'll be riding! It also came with a set of factory soft-bags in matching colors.  Darn, got the pic from her computer in an email...sorry it's so small....let me try this: |
