...(and the other social media site you post at  )

Is the advice he is getting on the other social media sight the same as he is getting here?

I've posted the service on the fb page with other fj owners however I received little advise,this forum has a abundance of knowledge that can't be replicated this is the fj how to alpha forum

As Randy suggested the manuals have a chart that take all the math out of it.  The social media site is good for short "bleeps" of thoughts and information but for real help the fjowners forum is the place to be.  The knowledge is vast and deep when it comes to the FJ.

Now a short rant: It amazes me that someone will spend hundreds to thousands of dollars on a machine auto or motorcycle and not spend 15 to 25.00 for a good service manual.  Factory manuals show up on e bay often and coffee stains on the cover just adds character RPM also sells manuals. They are not rare. IMO not optional .  Yes most information is available on line but there is no substitute for a good hard manual with pictures in front of you.

I have both the Haynes and the GYSM for my FJ1100. The GYSM is the one to use, if you have some knowledge working on bikes. It is so much more logical and easy to navigate than the Haynes!

When I first brought my bike home in all of those parts and pieces the guy whom sold it to me had both the Clymer and GYSM of which he loaned to me so I could get the bike back together. When I completed my bike I returned the manuals, now its time for me to buy them for my own tool box. Honestly Ive had the Haynes manual in my RPM cart awaiting my next check out. I'm in the middle of moving so I have to wait to settle in to my new address before I can proceed to checkout. Strange as this may sound I still possess almost every manual for every bike Ive ever owned. On my FJ with the exception of my rebuild of the carbs, Ive never needed a manual because every question Ive ever had has been answered on this forum.
