    Hi all
    My old 650 4k0 engine has around 90.000 Km on the clock, and is in need of some serius maintiance. Therefore I ask you all, if it is possible to change the engine to a 750 11m, widthout any difficulties, As I see it, the frame is the same on a 650 and a 750.

    Am I right?

    Hi TenKeys,
    So far I've found the base engine, transmission cases that is (4H7), is the same from the 650 to the 900 and although your model codes are different than what I've been dealing with (Australian) I would think(depending on the level of my intoxication)you would have the same sort of situation in your part of the world!

    I have successfully installed a 33F(XJ900RK) engine into a 37H(XJ750P) frame without even a slight problem... apart from TCI replacement, carb replacement and... well a few other minor things to us XJ fanatics :), of course!

    Although it might be a good idea to ask for some overall engine height difference between the 650 and the 750+ engines...

    You will need to re-jet your carbs, and you should run the complete 750 ignition, however, you prolly could get by with running the original 650 ignition also.

    I think there was an issue with the "oil" light switch??
    The exhaust will bolt-up.

    Happy new year all
    Well now, it didn't go as planed(it newer does), I ended up with at 750 41Y engine insted.
    I'm now searching for the jet size for a 4k0 carb working on the 41Y, I could't get the original 41y carb with the engine, any ide out there. And What about the ignition, can I reuse the one from 4k0. 8O :idea:

    Some further questions to address - are you running the stock air cleaner and stock exhaust system??

    Main jet for a 750 is "120" The jet next to it remains a "40" (unless you have a "43", because you are in Europe - 43 seems to work)

    Quoted specs for Hitachi Pilot air jets - -
    #195: all 1980-81 all XJ650 North American models, all 1982 XJ650RJ and RJC Seca, and 1980-82 XJ650 UK/European (4K0 and 4K1) models.

    #205: all 1982-84 XJ650 Maxim North American models, 1982-84 XJ650 UK/European (11N) models, 1981-83 XJ750 Canadian models, and 1981-84 XJ750 UK/European (11M) models.

    #225: all 1982 XJ650 UK/European (14R) models, all 1981-83 XJ750 USA models, XJ750E-II models, and XJ750RL models.

    You need to change to 750 specs to match the Main fuel jet you choose.
    The Main Air jet goes from a "50" to a "80"

    Important - set float accurately with a clear tube 3MM below carb body.
    - clean the piston-slider and bore with 1,000 grit sandpaper
    - read "Church Of Clean"

    A different ignition box will have a different advance curve, but should otherwise work. As I said above - it's best to keep the whole ignition system all together, rather than mix parts.

    Are we saying that the XJ650 will accommodate a 900 motor. If so, is this limited to the pre-Diversion XJ, or will a Divvy one fit?

    The main air jets

    The main air jets on all Hitachi HSCxx series carbs are located under the vacuum piston diaphram,
    and are a small, brass "headless" screw-in jet. On some model carbs, these air jets live under a small,
    curved flay metal "cover plate" which is retained by a special shouldered screw
    (most later-model Hitachi carbs seem to have dispensed with this air jet cover plate,
    although its threaded mounting hole still remains in the carb body).
    NOTE: the Haynes workshop manual for the XJ650 and XJ750 models has the incorrect placement noted for these air jets
    ----the main air jet and pilot air jets are reversed in their picture and caption.
    Just remember that the main air jet goes directly above the main fuel jet,
    and is thus located in the "center" of the three holes in this area.

    Now
    HCP6307 Aftermarket Hitachi brass MAIN AIR JET #50, original size for all XJ650 models.

    After
    HCP6313 Aftermarket Hitachi brass MAIN AIR JET #80, original size for all XJ700 non-X
    (air-cooled) models, XJ750RL Seca models, and XJ750E-II models. Each:
    $ 7.95

    Do any of the carp gods :lol: have any indput to this question

    Your jet selections seem right, by the book, and perfect for "PODS" and 4 into 1 exhaust.

    [ just a note that doesn't seem right - - the engine size is increased by 15% and many of the jets are increased this porportion, except the MAIN AIR JET which goes from a 50 to an 80, which is a 256% larger "area" inside the jet]

    Now how about a picture of your bike??

    Just bang a "to-atmosphere" filter on the end of a short bit of pipe (as you've junked the airbox). They look a bit like a smaller pod.

    Someone on here will have a pic if you need it.
