I'm getting 46 with my 81 XJ 550. Carbs are running a bit rich. Should look into that...then I'd probably be doing better...who knows, maybe not?!?!
Hey All! Glad to find several CFL XJers. Just moved back to the area about a month ago and the old XJ has been my primary source of transport....
Pretty sweet! I'm all about personalization.
So I changed my oil the other day and refilled it with the specs from the manual and also by sight in the little window. There is a tiny bubble...
Changed the oil and filter. Pretty black...nice to get that old blood out. In with the new! Put on new handlebars. Got some from Chapparals...
Okay...here is the deal. Went through the carbs last week with the help of a buddy who has done his carbs. We were quite careful not to get carb...
Thanks for the thoughts, yall. Got a buddy from work going to help out. He did his, so hopefully he will be able to school me a bit.
Anyone in the MN area that is a carb person? I've got the rebuild kit and need to get er done, but don't want to tear into it myself.
What sort of handlebars are those? I like em.
Thanks, saved a few centavos on that order. I'm sure I'll be back to ask for more help when I put it all together!
This might sound completely idiotic, but I need four of them correct?
What is the best place to get the new parts? Local dealer or someplace online?
