I fixed everything on this bike - it's a 'buy it ride it' sale. Price has been upgraded to reflect current working condition.
Thanks. I'm hoping she'll find a home to someone who will keep her in that same condition.
Clutch is fixed. Bike is now $1800. If you already own a XJ and this is an upgrade or another project bike, you can have it for $1700. I will...
Bike is still for sale. If I fix the cluch, bike is $1800.
Well, time has come for me to depart from my beloved 1983 Maxim XJ 750. She's been babied, loved, nurtured, cleaned, polished, and never abused...
I don't drive my 750 Maxim on the highway much - mostly a city bike. I can tell you, unless you're in a new Porsche 911, or a sub 5.0s 0-60 car,...
Interesting thoughts Pseudonym - I would agree - but this is an intermittent problem when its cold, and when it's warm, the issue occurs 100%. I...
Hey fitz - thanks for the ideas. You could feel the slight divits - mind you - the human finger can detect One-Thousands-of an inch deviation. I...
A while ago I posted that my clutch, which I replaced 3 years ago, was grabbing and being a real PITA at stoplights, making it almost impossible...
Found a bunch of matches - that's ok. Mike O. was the owner of the website MONSTER-XJ - he sold the original adaptor and the YICS-tool. I have...
What oil filters are people using for Mike O's spin-on adaptor? I've been using Fram, but wondering if there's a better option?
Valid points guys - I never thought about that. I'lll re-adjust the cable so that it's all the way in (min adj) and then move the arm back a...
Ever since I put new a clutch in my 750 Maxim, the clutch still pulls on the engine when I pull in the lever. I'd tried adjusting it, but it...
Hey, I've been busy raising kids (sorry for my absense). Yeah, we should do a Calgary ride, maybe another Calgary carb clinic. I haven't had...
I've also posted this in the area section but I want to ensure all can see this... Before I commit a date to the Calgary Carb clinic, I want...
Before I commit a date to the Calgary Carb clinic, I want to gauge interest for the area. It would be from June 21-22. June 21 is the work...
Remember, when they check the load, they need to ensure the RPM's are over 5000 - that's when the battery hits recharge mode. It does sound...
I plan on having another spring carb clinic this May. More details as it gets warmer...
Hi Kenny, I would like to refer you to http://www.bobistheoilguy - there on this scientific site about oil is a writeup on the 'lucas'...
Best way is to use CLR or another rust removing product and sandpaper to get the part shiny silver. Prime it, then paint.
I really don't think the oil filter cap was really doing much cooling. If you want to cool down your oil, putting on an oil cooler, especially...
If you think your YICS is clogged - remove your carbs and use a gun-barrel cleaning brush with carb cleaner. If you don't have one, make one from...
HG - DO NOT, I mean, DO NOT attempt to sync your carbs without a YICS tool if you don't have one. There is the ole 'twist-tie' method - you use a...
I have the solid tapered bearings in mine. A much better solution than the open packed bearings IMHO.
I'm running stock on stock. To pod you will need to: - rejet your carbs - replace your stock exhaust For perhaps a few extra horses. The...
Awesome mod. I'll do mine next!
The Phillips Nighthawk bulbs are the best. I like the cutoff and how it works. And yes, I have a H4 in mine. More info at...
Yeah, I cracked the stems. Bloody nuisance... :D
Hey all. XJ Monster is selling a reproduction YICS tool here: http://plan9.dnsalias.org:88/xj/products/YICS-R.html Convert your original...
I do believe that the 'YICS' tool is standard across all platforms. Order Mike O's YICS tool for ~ $35. Worth every penny.
I cracked the rubber boot on my right rear tail light on my 83 Maxim. Any idea if I can replace that or do I have to replace the entire turn signal?
BTW - the guy who makes the XJ Tool (Mike O.) also makes a spin-on oil adaptor that is for oil coolers. It might help you out.
Hey Adam, Welcome! You should simply order the XJ CD. Not only will you get a manual, you'll get ever XJ Factory Service Manual in print all...
I use a spitfire windshield. It's nice and small but it provides great wind protection for my chest. I found that the larger windshield was...
I have no idea, but the 650-750 is the only one I've heard. I don't think the 750 and 900 are upgradable that way. Pretty sure the bottom part of...
guess you missed that :D
Welcome ngoody! Why don't you order the XJCD? It has wiring diagrams, part diagrams, how-tos, where to find stuff, etc. You can order it here:...
Hmm, doesn't mspaint do that? All you to resize and save as a JPG?
Are you talking about side grips just under the seat? Generally speaking most 'grab bars' are the tall seatbacks that go on the back of your...
Wow. Looks sharp! ;)
The tire/wheel 'should' be balanced off the bike. It's standard practice so don't worry. :)
Wow, she looks in great shape. Congrats!
Re: air filter If you do replace your airfilter with a K&N - you'll have to rejet your bike as the increased airflow will impact your mixtures....
Hey all, Any fellow Albertians here? I'm in Calgary Alberta.
Hey everyone, Hope you are all enjoying the new format and design that Snosherrif has put together for us.
