Welcome to the group ! Ask questions as things come up. There isn't much that someone on here doesn't know about the FJ's. Where are you located ?  :good2:

Welcome skik, the FJ is easy to work on. I used to take my bikes in for all service issues, now I do all the service myself. Valves, oil, plugs, carb balance, tires. This group has helped me achieved the knowledge to become my own mechanic. The real kicker is when you start modifying, like putting a 17 x 5.5 rear wheel on, or the RPM spin-on oil filter adapter. Once you start you become addicted and then you have "Moditius". It is a good addiction to have, it can get costly but it pays you back every time you ride.
