Welcome and don't worry about your English just enjoy. 1991 is a nice year. The old FJ is an easy bike to work on and parts are pretty plentiful considering there age. :drinks:

I own FJ for month.....
So far I removed and checked swingarm, rear linkage and suspension, also fixed ABS but I plan remove it..... I checked carbs. Now I wait for shim tool. And between those small jobs I have time to short trips around.
Also I wait for delivery with CBR mirrors, Oil temperature gauge, voltmeter and sprockets. I have 18/38 sprocket ratio and I don't like it.
For big jobs such as starter chain replacement will be time later......

Sounds like you are off to a good start. sorry you don't like the 18/38 gear (that is what I currently run) but you need to be happy with your FJ, so try changing the front to the stock 17T sprocket. It will cost less and give you about a 3 tooth change at the rear. You will get a little more punch off the line and higher RPMs at cruising speeds.

Welcome to the group, :hi:
Did your FJ come with a Hang over (engine running issues) :bad:, or Stumbled home with bruised knees, (bodywork issues) :hang1:??
Ask questions for things that you need help.

I would say that maybe not hang over (not much) but this girl had to come back home, after few shots in night club...... across combat field..... :biggrin:
I just finished checking valve clearance. I will need 9 shims :dash1:
Would You recommend for me some shop with good prices and reasonable postage?
All sorted.... awaiting for postman.....
I want move to America.... only there is no problem with half size shims..... :i_am_so_happy:
And prices are low. My local shop: 12€ or 15$ each shim and awaiting time minimum week. :dash1:
eBay - 8,7$ each shim plus 6$ postage......
