Good to know, I have a spare diode block as well. Won't run the bike until I get that relay.
Thanks, there's a local guy who has lots of XJ parts I'll see how much he wants for the correct relay.
Sorry for the slow response. It looks like the ignition cutoff relay? Not blue or yellow and hard to read the numbers. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
Checked and yes it's the wrong relay. I'll try and find the right one tomorrow, bike swap meet across the border. Thanks.
Great! I had an extra relay, swapped it out and now the headlights work when the engine is running. They do come on when you turn the key...
Here's a pic of what I think is the headlight relay. Seems to be the only connector in that location, and no other relay has a connector that...
Wow, very good information! Thank you, I'll have a look at those connectors.
Ok, I'll start checking the wires. The wiring can't really be mixed up, the connectors are all different. Looks like the wiring is fine.
xj650rj, I turn on the ignition, headlight goes on. Hit the starter and the headlight goes off but it stays off. No high or low beam....
Thanks for all the info, looks like I'm at minimum compression on those 2 cylinders. I found another connector with corroded terminals, so...
I hear what you're saying, I've overhauled a lot of carbs and on several occasions found I'd missed something small that made a big difference....
[ATTACH] I checked the pickup coils 630 ohms so they're good. Found another connector that was fairly corroded. I notice that one connector on...
Yes, yes and yes. New coils, wires and caps. Mixture screws removed and washers, O rings re-installed. Haven't checked the pickup coils, will...
Maybe, but I did a leakdown check and didn't notice anything leaking between the cylinders. Compression went up when I put some oil in those 2.
Ha ha, OK I won't throw in the towel just yet. But I might put it on the back burner. I have a GT750 that needs a bunch of work. Since it...
Took everything apart without splitting the rack. All the jets are clean, all the passageways are clear. I just took the carbs off again and...
No I was trying to avoid an engine rebuild. 120 is low but the engine should still run with that compression.
No I don't have a colortune. But I imagine # 2 and 3 aren't burning right since they barely run. I'm thinking it can't be carburetion since I...
Yes, all new plugs moved around several times. Just now I took out plugs 1 and 2 and ran the engine with just #2 and #3 in. The engine would run...
82 xj650rj with 50,000km on it. Bought it non running, not sure what the PO had done to it. Can't get the thing to run on all 4...
I found a huge vacuum leak when I did a leak down check. The "previous dummy owner" had removed the carb insulator boots and re-installed them...
A few years ago you couldn't give away a CX500 now the hipsters around Vancouver want them. They like to "Cafe" them, lots of mods you can do....
Checked valve clearances and they're within spec. I was hoping the low compression was just valves but it's the rings. The TCI unit is the...
So I got the thing to run but it ran crappy. #3 pipe was cold. New plugs, seems to be getting spark at all the plugs, Carbs have been out...
Thanks, yes brown connector was for the signal, it's hooked up now and the signals are working. Now if I could only get the engine to run...
I don't know why 3 pictures got uploaded. Got the signals working, the brown left signal wire goes to the brown double connector. I guess the...
They're nice bikes, I had a 1985 v65 Magna, one of the best bikes I've ever owned. (Also had an xj900) If it's a high kilometer engine then...
So 1982 xj650 Seca, I'm almost finished putting it back together but have some questions on the wiring in the headlight shell. Everything works...
Thanks for the info. Yes it's an fj600, seems strange that they would move the alternator behind the engine to make it narrower then later on...
One other question, on my bike the alternator is at the end of the crank behind the left side engine cover. So what's behind the engine? I...
Yes , probably right. I'll replace the connector and I ordered a new regulator, they're pretty cheap. It was hard finding a parts diagram that...
So I have this 1990 FJ600, bought it a while back non running. It's running now but the charging system doesn't seem to be putting out...
