Ironically, I'm going to the vet tomorrow! I'll see what he has.

Thanks again, everyone for the tips!

Well, the guy came to pick up the bike before I got to the vet. That's perfectly fine with me, though. He's bleeding the clutch, flushing and filling the fork oil, and installing my new fork seal set (with bushings) that I got from Randy. All this work for........

$55

He said it will be done and ready to ride in 3 days. :i_am_so_happy:

I got my FJ back from the shop today! The mechanic did a very good job. He bled the clutch and repaired the forks. He said there was some mechanical problem with the forks. He installed the new bushings and seals and set the dampening a little stiffer. I gave him a little extra. I'm so happy I didn't have to spend my time on it.

Wow, not used to that attitude on here.  I

t's not my only source of transportation, but even if it was I'd still want to be the one tightening the nuts and bolts.
