Welcome Keane, get it sorted and then find an FJ rally near you.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Welcome from Australia....
I simply loved (read in a very sarcastic voice) replacing the starter clutch (3 times in a week, due to user error) in my FJ

Otherwise enjoy.... these bike are awesome (not sarcastic now)

Welcome from the U.K., Keane.

It'sa great family here, with just enough personalities to keep things interesting, and plenty of updated/modified bikes, as well as stock ones, so hopefully enough FJ-specific experience to answer any questions  :good2:
