Re: the forks... it is pretty straightforward, but i'd leave a bit of time for the unexpected. I almost got pooched on a stripped bolt head when...
Welcome! The XJCD has been a great resource for me, and contains the manuals! #1 repair (after brake delamination I guess): fuse panel
Thanks for the replies, I'll keep my eye out.
Looking for a cheap gauge cluster for a 550 Seca. Thanks
Hey all, I'm selling my highway pegs because I never use them. They clamp around the crash bars, fold up and down, and have "Yamaha" stamped on...
On the bottom of the air box, left hand side, I have a short length of hose. What is it, and should the other end be attached to anything?
I remember seeing a similar video somewhere that covered this as well. The advice I recall from it was if you're having trouble flagging down...
Looks like his house is protected by Smith & Wesson three nights a week though...
The PO swapped parts at some point so there are two keys. Naturally I can never remember if it's the gas key or the ignition key that works the...
Exactly as the PO gave to me... ignition key, gas key, disc lock key, and a pair of pewter dice.

Just installed my Hella Euro Vision Plus H4 upgrade from chacal...wow! If you haven't bought one from him yet, do so now! Don't know how I...
You'd think the LED specific one would work...perhaps the polarity is reversed?
I thought for a while HCP was Hitachi Carb Parts, but that obviously doesn't hold up... I think I came across some posts about a him putting...
Yep, my last two orders just arrived via dogsled! Great service and packaging as always, and really fast shipping considering the border...
I grabbed a rain cheque for the 7.99 one at Canadian Tire, but never went back for it. After someone on the xj mailing list said it hadn't worked...
Here's the post about the GM gauges. http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=16625.html He says his works 0-90 ohms...I'm pretty sure when I...
I never did get around to building the led voltage-meter fuel gauge...I did do some inquiries to classicinstruments.com though and they seem to be...
Thought I'd pass this tip along after almost stripping out one of my damper rod retaining bolts, for anyone else who may be doing this alone in a...
Well I got them pulled apart today... The upper tube appears perfectly straight against a level, but I found matching scratches at the bottom of...
Thanks for the replies, I just picked up a set of stock forks to get me back on the road. Would still be interested in 750 Maxim forks and...
This is only a guess, but would that be what keeps the headlight from coming on while cranking?
Valve shim tool and carb parts received in excellent order, thanks! Valve shim tool worked great...I feel way better with it than sticking...
Hi all, I'm looking for forks from a 650 or 750 Maxim, as well as the front brake system from a 750 maxim. Thanks!
Numbers look good to me.
Possibly...what would be the best way to try and get rid of them?
Tracking down the PO is tempting, but according to the used vehicle information package there are four of them...although with the stuff I've...
Well the problems keep piling up...just discovered some damage to the upper fork tube. On the back of the upper tube, just above the dust seal...
Thanks for the reply, one of those areas not to skimp on i suppose.
I think it's time to replace my front wheel bearings, and I'm a little unsure about reusing the seals. If I replace the bearing with a 6302RS,...
Just out of curiousity, why are some of my valve shims labelled with a Y (ie Y270) and some with an A (ie 270A)?
I'm about to fit up a 750 tank on my 650, and am thinking of building a fuel gauge since the new tank has a sending unit. I was thinking of...
Thanks for the replies, I think it it was probably the weather. Just out of curiousity though, how do you test the rear springs for wear?
I haven't had nearly enough time to get out this year, but I pulled the bike out for a ride today after the rain and experienced what felt like a...
Sorry, this is probably too late for you but for anyone else who's looking: http://www.e-laws.gov.on.ca/html/regs/e ... 0611_e.htm...
Just wanted to chime in that the master cylinder sight glass may not be 16.7mm...mine wound up being about 1/32" smaller, so I went for the sand...
Stored it for the winter. Unfortunately, in my eagerness to get as much air out of the gas tank as possible, overfilled it. Half an hour later...
What thickness should the watch crystal be?
So the manual for my 1980 XJ650G has the tire pressures for different loads (26/28psi for my usual girth), then at the bottom it has the pressure...
Re: MAXIM PARTS FOR SALE Thanks for the fuel filter and clamps!
What size hose do we have on there?
Isn't odometer tampering a fairly serious crime? Might be able to bring the seller to justice
I upgraded my fuse box to an ATC 6 fuse block, repaired the twist-and-tape connections on the main battery line, and lubed up the seat lock. I...
Thanks for identifying it, that would seem to be right. I found a routing diagram stuck to the inside of the fairing as I was reassembling....
I'm working on replacing the fuse box on my new XJ650, and this bike is turning into a real horrorshow. I've found a hose, about 2 feet long,...
The box that chacal has is just what you're looking for. It's nice he provides the appropriate fuses with the box. My new one just arrived from...
Don't know if you're still looking but I just picked up a 1980 650 for $1000, 60,000km, and I think that was a little high but I'm happy with it....
