Hi Guys, Picked up this little gem this afternoon. 44X, number 605, engine and frame match. She’s is in need of the usual TLC but she’s all there.
Yup, could be I suppose.
Thanks all. A buddy of mine who’s a commercial pilot thought, given its location hanging from the bottom of the foot peg, that it might be, in...
Previous owner stuff typically leaves me shaking my head, stunned by how anyone could do such things to a motorcycle. However, sometimes, I find...
Here a few pics of the “parts bike”. I had it out for a short 7 km ride today, runs good. The Wolf 4 into 2 brings back some memories. One funny...
Thanks, CDS. I’ll check them out.
Hi guys, Need a new set of rear shocks for the old girl. Any ideas or favourites? 1982 XJ650RJC Thanks in advance.
Many moons ago one of the instructors at a riders training course I was attending showed up on a Black Shawdow. My eyes just about popped out my...
Lol, tj. I’ll post a pic or two of my new “parts store ride” in a few days. Cheers.
Below is a pic of my Seca from today (not the one I had bought for parts). With some parts from tj and advise from others on this forum the carbs...
That’s my boy, Kelly. He’s a 9 year old Shepherd, Lab, Roti, Border Collie cross and a fine pup indeed.
Oh yea. Yes, labeled wrong. Now I see the Haynes error. Thanks tj for confirming I’m losing it (I’ve had my suspicions for awhile) and thanks to...
Unless I’m losing it, my Haynes manual shows the main air and pilot air jets in the correct position. Picture shows large pilot air jet in the...
Just ckecking[ATTACH]
Picked up another ‘82 XJ650RJC (15U) on Friday. Bought it sight unseen as a parts bike but, luckily, it’s really in too good a shape for parts....
Ha-Ha. Yes. Boom. True enough. I did notice one strange thing when I took the carbs off. The inside of the intake manifolds were wet, but I had...
Choke plungers looked good but will be checked again.
Carbs are back off the bike and will be gone through again. I was not impressed with the Keyster parts so, yea, OEM needles and seats are on the...
Air jets are in correct positions. Bike is a XJ650RJC, 205 pilot air closest to the engine, 50 main air in the middle. On another tact, fuse box...
Lmao! No foolin? Service manual is what I used to put the carbs back together so I’ll be having a look at those jets shortly. Is there a link on...
Emulsion tubes are pitted on the outside, need to do closer inspection of tube insides. Bike runs very rich. Float heights are good. New needles...
Bike is 1982 XJ650RJC, carbs are HSC32. Has anyone experience or found porosity problems with the carb body castings?
Need a set of carbs for 1982 XJ650RJC and security chain. Thanks.
I’m looking for a set of carbs for 82 XJ650RJC and lock chain. Can you help?
Fresh oil change with incorrect oil? (energy conserving type?) = slipping clutch = clutch wear = slack cable and hard shifting. Yup, sure could...
Anyone know the paint type used on the frame of the XJ650RJC? Looks suspiciously like a powder coat. Can anyone confirm this? Second question:...
Canadian Tire sometimes sells 5 gallon pails for $50 - $60 bucks. Lots of cheap oil changes there.
Removed by Moderator. We don't to that here. Be civil.
Thanks, guys.
Hi All, I recently picked up a 1982 XJ650RJ and was going to run Shell Rotella T4 15W-40. Any worries?
