fuel tank hold down bolt

Anybody know what size the hold down bolt is for 1981 xj650 maxim ?
I moved about 5 years ago and the bike has been in storage since. The parts that were taken off I can't find now
I even lost my nickname and password for this place.
Bike is now in the garage and needs lots of work.

 

not sure if this helps: Part Number 97313-08012-00 BOLT, HEXAGON (Now #97013-08012-00, (8x12, Si) )
Chacal (XJ4Ever) sells them

 

Thank you. It should help.
I'm going to have to make the top plate and rubber insulator . Unless I find mine somewhere.

 

Mopower, I should have some of them around......no need to make one. Contact me.

I'm only a couple hours, or so, from you.....in June I will be hosting a Carb Clinic (near Utica). If interested, I'll get info to you as well.

Thanks Dave.
I will write you tomorrow. Just got home from a 12 hr work day.
Not sure the bike will be ready by june. But we will see.
When I got the xj it had been left outside for who knows how long. I have started cleaning it up. Poor thing only has 6000 miles on it. Somewhere here on the forum are pictures of it. But I lost my old name and password.

 

was it (were you) "Stormin" ?

 

I think that might have been it. I thought I searched for it. I guess I didnt

 

How did you find it?
That is my old profile

 

The forum never forgets. Wonder if the administrator could merge your new and old profiles? Stormin-Mopower71 Lives On!

 

Going to see if I can log into it when I get home

 

Hello

 

I'm back
This was my old profile
Thanks pickax

 

Hey, aren't you "Mopower71"? LOL

After 7 years sitting it still starts right up and purrs. I even rode it for the first time. Down to the end of the driveway and back. Very easy with it.

 

Yep. They are both me.
Did you get my message?

 

Ugh. Fuel tank has another leak

 

Yup, got your message, send me your phone number and I'll call you in the morning--

Hey, what about doing the tank upgrade thing and putting a 750 maxim tank on? I believe I have one here, too--

 

I highly recommend putting a 750 Maxim tank on a 650 Maxim. I'm able to stretch a tank to 200+ miles.

 

8 mm 1.25 pitch is the bolt size. Not sure on length but I can measure it later.

 

I think I will worry about the tank after I get a bunch of the other stuff out of the way. Now I just need to come up with a repair manual

 

The FSM is hard to come by. They show up on e-bay every other while. You might be able to download a pdf file from a member (i don't have a pdf file). Chacal also sells manuals. I have the Haynes manual which are plentiful on e-bay and amazon.

I think I found the Hayes in pdf. Have to wait for my wife to get off the computer

 

Hey Dave.
What does a 750 maxim tank go for. You can pm me. Or is it sc me?
Thanks
