An FJ motorway...I give up. Is it something like a Henway or a Hemingway?
Is it something like this?

I've heard of Fenway...

Whatever it is, if it has anything to do with an FJ, I want one!
:lol: :rofl:
I would have said 200 plus.It feels heavier when you need to lift it in or out of you cars trunk.I just moved my rented garage and had to carry one about 50 feet that was a heavy s.o.b.

Thanks guys, :drinks:
Two man job, no question, unless you've got a hoist. Also depends on if the clutch, starter, generator, etc etc are on it.
On a side note, I saw someone was doing some fork work on their bike, but they didn't have a good way to support it. They ended up standing a tall stepladder up, pushed the bike under it, and used a ratchet strap to lift the bike. Looked silly, but it did work.
I've always admired DavidR's method of lifting up the entire bike by supporting it from the ceiling, then dropping the engine out. Reverse the process by lowering the bike on the engine for reinstall.
Actually, I used an engine hoist that I rented. But the ceiling mounted hoist would also work.
This method does require that you build a custom engine mount that you bolt the engine to before you pick up the frame. I made one out of some 2x6s and 2x4s.
For fork work, or removing the front wheel, I have wooden "stand" that I slip under the frame rails. Have to remove the lower fairing first and jack up the lower triple clamp to get the front end off the ground (or have someone sit on the seat to lever the bike back). If you raised the rear ride height, the centerstand needs to go up on a 2x4 to gain ground clearance.
I recently took some pictures of this setup. I'll try to post them soon.
