- They dont like the cold!
I take the FJ out once or twice a week which should be enough to keep it happy but no. It difficult to get started everytime.
I love the FJ its all good character but it certainly aint no getaway bike. - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Mine also has some difficulty with the temperatures around freezing but it does start. Only with full choke at first and a little bit of gas. It doesn't start with no throttle nor when given too much throttle.
Also if it's only for short trips (less then half an hour) I'd use a trickle charger to keep the battery charged.
I have a different problem though, clutch lost pressure so I have to replace my old brake fluid, it's really weird though since the problem started with the clutch lever returning very slowly and now I just don't have pressure.
Try cycle thé ignition a few times until thé clicking stops when you cycle it. Maybe that helps? Lot of air in the fuel system.
