vinnie Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 All, Just an update...took my bike in to adjust my valves. They turned out to be unnaturally tight. My mechanic pulled the head off and the exhaust valve seats were beat to shit. The valve guides failed and had a lot of slop in the valves. We ordered a new head in Feb and the exhaust valves have been on back order since. My bike is SNAFU and Yamaha has unofficially told us that there is a known engine problem. I am going to sell my FJ when this is done and move on. I am so disgusted. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Whoa, that really stinks. Sorry to hear about your bad luck. Instead of dumping all that money into the bike only to sell it, why not part it out? Seems used parts for the FJ are scarce. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vinnie Posted May 14, 2018 Author Share Posted May 14, 2018 I think the bike is worth more as a whole than in parts, but I didn't even consider the option to be honest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
koth442 Posted May 14, 2018 Share Posted May 14, 2018 Is that worth more whole after all the head work and whatever other gremlins lurk? Just food for thought. '15 FJ09 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
