Yes, an 18 tooth countershaft sprocket is nice, your chain will also be happy.

18 on the countershaft sprocket and 38 on the rear wheel sprocket is the perfect combination for the FJ for a mix of touring and sportier riding - and it stops you looking for 6th gear all of the time. :good2:  :good2:

I agree 100% on this comment. I was always looking for 6th. Once I changed the sprockets as above, must better. I have not missed the low end and never look for 6th.
