Haven't been here in a while, still have the XJ900, but it was time to upgrade and i must say... one happy camper 2013 fuel injected XJR1300...
Ok so after stripping down both switch blocks and ignition... Testing plug connections and looking at the fuse block... I had nothing, except a...
High beam switch is a bit harder to get off and test on these.... So no, not yet. But that will be next after testing connections :)
Looking for ideas on where to look next.... Stopped working out of the blue a few days ago. Upgraded fuse box months ago, tested today, working...
I switched back to the original plugs and No. 4 is now firing... Looking a lot like N0. 2 is a dodgy coil... Have to test it Thanks guys
Ok so I put my 84 XJ900 on the road recently with new aftermarket coils and now when I ride its sluggish and when I touch the headers, 1 & 3 burn...
Your garage is bigger than mine lol

http://tayles.net.au/blog This is my blog... Not much there yet, but over time, more will be added, both there and here :)
With there being so many options out there for new or near new bikes... What would you buy? I'm thinking of borrowing some money and getting...
They're all gettin rare now :)
They did do a naked version but I like the smaller fairing better.... The longer one breaks the end mounts. I'd like to try my hand at full...
Is it a big job to replace the seal? Other than removing the swing-arm, flange and old seal?
Nice bike... Look forward to hearing how you go ... Any progress with the light?
Think I might take Bushy's advice and get it running right first... Which in itself is no small task given both mufflers and collector box have...
Great... I'll be needing them soon :)
That's sad... He had so much experience and knowledge
What happened to Rick?
That's a shame... I learnt a lot from that list. I was always going to come back... It was only a matter of time before I found another XJ that I...
I'm already collectnig photos of the new bike by the hundred... Have my own domain and looking to setup a blog of the rebuild... Still unsure how...

Hello XJ Bikes.... Its been a while... 4 odd years since I sold my last XJ900 and moved to another country.... I hope you are all well So today...
Hows the ankle Rick?... Hope your back on the bike soon :)
Officially drooling here :)
Sounds to me like you need a standard adaptor plate bolt off any xj with an oil cooler
Yup Polock... Orange ... No idea why the PO thought that was a good idea... Well Wiz, when ya have my budget, ya take what ya can get .... I do...
It's had all the fairing removed... I still have it too. Might end up back on, I'll see.
Another fine restoration Wiz... What's next? :)
Headlight is coming off... I like the look but it's cheap and has 2 blown bulbs, 2 broken (not easily repaired) wires and rusty screws... I've...

Do a compression test
Since moving to Oz I sold the bikes and someone is looking after my parts in Auckland, but I haven't been able to find an xj in Brisbane so I...
It's worse when you let it fall on to your other bike, in your garage, with you between the two and no one in the house... Pinned :P
Natural selection.... You choose to not wear one, you choose to accept the risk. Personally I prefer to live by 1 rule when riding: ALL the...
I would but I'm completely broke until at least the middle of next month... That bike looks alright too
Hahahaha are you willing to drop it off? :P
Hate to point out the obvious but the writing is on the brake pad, not the caliper... The pad may be interchangable with the XS850
Any of you know of any XJ's for sale in the Brisbane area? I'm dying here without a project or a ride :)
