Mate, I would bet that its just the typical FJ wiring harness that chews up volts....... do you find that the headlight dims in time with the fuel pump when you first turn the key on?
If it annoys you, do a relay mod for the headlight low and high beam circuits where you use the existing wiring to activate a relay to run 12V direct from the battery to the headlight, bypassing the OEM wiring except as a control circuit - otherwise ignore it.
Its also much less obvious with a fresh battery - maybe yours is getting a wee bit sad?

Cheers and welcome

FJZ1 1200 - It'll do me just fine.
Timing has much to do with the success of a rain dance.

If you ride at night and if legal in your area, you might consider installing an HID lamp. HID systems connect direct to the battery and give you more light to the front. I love my DDM HID kit.
The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.
