Poxdravljeni Andy,
A word of caution with letting your imagination run wild.
My understanding is that the front fender of a 650 is more than cosmetic; it actually proveds additional stability (safety) to the front forks.

Welcome to the camp

 

Tnx mate,foek from pics one are old one and not from 650 so i change it with one of suzuki and the fender will come at the end of building.
Nice to hear diferent opinion

 

Something from yesterday

 

How to get that lock out

 

Drill the head of the rivet off.

 

nice wall art. Is the rear fender off center or is that the angle of the photo?

The guys here give good advice.

 

Tnx,is the angel of photo
Head of the rivet? -Sorry im not soo good in english whene come to specific words

 

This hapen when you put stock fork from suzuki to stock wheel of yamaha


But if you like to make it ,is everything posible.when i put fork together i will show you how is look now.nice and sweet in the center

 

The top of that round thing that's at the upper end of the lock housing.

 

Aha ok tnx ,if i drill it then a cant use it again or yes?

 

I have no idea.

 

Is any other posibility to take it out,do you or any other have service manual and if is in how to take it out.i ask yamaha service here in slovenia but they dont know- too old bike hhahahaa

 

I'm going to say that I don't think you have what you think you have. It's clearly a Yamaha, but the steering neck is not from any XJ that I am familliar with. The steering and ingition locks are integrated, not seperate as yours has.

 

Im no expert, but it looks to me like the steering neck has been modified / replaced. The welds dont look factory.

 

I think thats original becouse i see on net that xj have one seperate steering lock and one with ignition my was have too one with ingnition but i take it away.you can look in haynes too you will see on photo that is on that lock.
If you ask me the welds are factory or somebody weld it very very well and center it every thing realy good,i see a lot of mixture of frames and steering necks welded .

 

Ok all clean and ready to go together.


Lets start

 

Befor i startworking came this

 

In that case Yamaha did something very different for the the XJ650 they sent to your country than they did to the XJ650 they sent everywhere else. I wonder what else is different.

 

I dont know.
This is it

 

If is something else diferent,we will see if will be some problems,we will figure together heheehehe,is maybe becouse is european bike??

 

What is the Choke knob on top of the triple tree?

 

That is of suzuki was on when i buy front end,and im happy becouse i will need it.becouse i'll change grips and switches-from old NSU and that switches dont have choke on

 

I get now how you get that lock out,you can with original key,then you must turn the key and you can take out the lock.interesting if you dont have the key.

 

I looked up that part number.

It's not an XJ650 part.

Here's what would help us help you, and satisfy our mutual curiosity.
What are the first three characters of the VIN that's on the frame?
I'd also like to see if they match what's on the engine number plate. If they don't match, could you post both up for us?
I think you might have an XJ1100 frame, with an XJ650 engine.

 

Aha ok ,i see on net that they have for 650 too that lock,
Ok ni problem this vin is on frame
Abouth on engin i will check i dont have it on pics and noe im not home

I ask in german one company wich have everyting for xj and they have that lock for 650

 

Usually you have to have the correct key inserted, turn the opposite way, pull the whole assembly out

 

Interesting to see that on your bike.... welds all look original..I'll have to look at my 650rj again, but I only recall seeing that kind of lock on my non-yammy bikes

 

Aha ok

 

K-moe serial number on the engine is the same like on frame.

 

It is weird to see that lock on that bike.

Country: Europe

MODEL NAME: XJ650
STREET NAME: 1983 XJ650
MODEL ID CODE: 27G
FRAME ID: 4K0
SERIAL NUMBER STARTS AT: 200101
NOTE: styling and features the same as North American XJ650RJ Seca model, has dual front disc brakes and an oil cooler.

So it is what you think it is, and the lock does appear to have been used on the European market xj650. Learning things is fun.

 

Ahaa interesting,and nice to know

 

anybody know what kind of front fender will be kul.hehhe

 

The one it came with is pretty cool, and you already own it.

 

hehehhhe i like it to,but in another poind of view like it a litel diferent hehheh

 

Lets start from 0 km or in US miles.

 

Time to change head gasket.
I just hope that then i get engine in position.

 

So things are lke this head was taken feom engine becouse was brokwn and was needed a wellding to now was fixed with some hard plastic-what a f***.
Soo head is now at home wellded and now is time to clean valves becouse exhausz number 3 have some leaking,so today i take valves out and in another days i will clean valves and then reasembel everything.

 

Anybody can tell me how te f... you get that rubber pipes conected to carbs and air box,if i try :when i get it on carbs is missing a 3-4 mm to box and if i put it on box then is missing the same to the carbs.possible that are not origi.?

 

1. Loosen the air box retaining bolts so it can slide forward again.

2. Use a heat gun soften the front of the air box and make sure it is flat or even Bellied out a bit. If it's sunken in, you'll have a hard time.

3. Make sure you've pulled the air box boots out far enough so the air box holes are in the grooves of the boots...

 

Ok tnx,i will try.

 

If you still have difficulty, get the boots as close as you can, then show us a pic----we'll see if there's anything else that we might notice

 

Aha ok,yes today i'll make some pics how is stay,then i will tray with fan,.....
