I'm already registered there. I guess I just assumed it was more XS over there and more XJ over here. You can see my confusion..... Which is...
Really?!? I honestly did not know that. Thanks for the heads up! I really like this site though......
Curious why the XS site would get me a quicker answer than this XJ site?
Anyone? Bueller?
Can anyone with an XJ1100 confirm the size of the pipes before the muffler where it slips on? I'm thinking it's 1-3/4" but I don't have access to...
I like the sound of the Emgo mufflers and the price is right. They even have a flat black series that would look good. Not sure if I'm going to...
Hey all, looking for a decent muffler to add to my bobber project. 1982 Yamaha Maxim XJ1100. Per my avatar, I built a bobber, so I'm looking for...
OK, I'll do that. Any particular model you recommend 50gary? Do you like the ones with the external reservoir? I'd prefer to stay with the...
Just so I know, what do I look for when researching shocks that will fit my bike? Is 325 center to center enough to make sure they fit?
That's a good idea. I've never used it before, but I've heard it holds up very well. And, like you said, it can be peeled off if you decide to...
First, tell me about the rebuild situation. I might be interested in that. They are the originals, so I think they're definitely due for a...
I was looking at them. They have great reviews. But I just talked to them and they don’t have them in black for my bike unfortunately.
Hey guys, my 82 XJ1100 is far from stock. I've made it more of a blacked out bobber style ride. I'm in need of new rear shocks and would like to...
Still have these parts and Spring is coming soon! Shoot me a message if you see something you need.
Shoot me a private message with an offer and we'll chat. It will have to be shipped of course.
Rear taillight housing. Not perfect, but in great shape. Full seat in PERFECT shape. No rips, tears, or fading. Small rectangle Yamaha "accessory"...
Hey Greg, Yes, unfortunately for me I still have everything. But, fortunate for you! Shoot me a message on here or email me directly and let me...
Bump to the top. Really want this stuff gone. Hopefully to someone who can put them to good use. Shoot me a message and we’ll work something...
I have everything but the tank emblems. Message me with an offer and we’ll figure it out.
Hey all, as you can tell by my avatar picture, my bike is far from stock these days. Anyway, I have no idea what these things are worth and I'll...
Yep, that's the one I have. Let me know if anyone needs/wants it. I have a bunch of other parts I'll be getting rid of so if someone has...
I have one from an 82 XJ1100. Not sure if they’re the same? I think it’s in great shape (i.e no cracks) I’m in Minnesota so I’m close to Canada...
Well that seems pretty damn simple! I'll check when I get home and let you guys know! Do you happen to have a replacement spring Chacal? Thank you!
1892 Yamaha XJ1100. Rear brake pedal doesn't return after depressing. Brakes work, it will stop the bike just fine, but it won't come up unless...
I do still have the stand. That might be my best option. Should be pretty easy to do once I get the stand back on. I just wondered if some of...
No, unfortunately I took the center stand off. If it was still there, I wouldn't be in this dilemma
Or the best way to lift/support The bike while I have the front tire off? I don't have a maintenance stand or a bike lift. Ideas?
That's the way I'm leaning. The tire has less than 100 miles on it. Haven't had the front tire off in a while. Anything I should pay attention...
I'm trying to figure out a way to lift the front of the bike just enough to be stable so I can try the ratchet strap idea
So, this is a pretty silly issue. Front tire went flat and rolled the bead off the rim. Is there an easy way to reseat the bead on the rim while...
Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but some of these links are no longer working. This would be a great DIY for people if the links worked.
Hey man, sorry for the late reply. I haven't been on here much lately. They are 7/8" almost flat bars. Got them on ebay, but don't remember...
Hey there, Modified XJ1100 with 7/8" bars. Want to replace the hand grips. I'm not exactly sure how to get the old ones off. I know the right...
That's too bad, it really wasn't that hard once I got the right part. It should be a simple flasher relay swap. If I wasn't such an idiot, I...
FOLLOW UP: OK, I'm an idiot! I was on the wrong side of the bike and changing the hazard relay and not getting anything....duh! Found the...
OK, disregard. I'm an idiot! I was on the wrong side of the bike and working with the hazard relay. Found the flasher unit, changed it with...
Does anyone have time to snap a couple pictures of their turn signal wiring on their XJ1100 for me? I would really appreciate it! Just need a...
If anyone else has an 82 XJ1100J, would you mind snapping a few pictures of the turn signal flasher unit on your bike and one with the flasher...
Having similar issues. I installed LED turn signals front and rear on my XJ1100. They are bright, but don't flash. I got an electronic flasher...
Hey all, I believe the flasher relay/solenoid fried on my 82 XJ1100. Any idea where I should look for a replacement? Any part numbers that...
Is there such a thing? Can you still find new parts for an 82 Yamaha Maxim XJ1100? I have a front caliper that is dragging and I think it might...
You can see more detailed progress pictures here: https://www.facebook.com/MotorbikeBrunos
I thought I'd share a couple pics. One showing the project's starting point and a few showing the progress so far. I threw one in showing the...
That's actually a really good idea! Never would have thought about that.
Yeah, no kidding! Never even thought about something like that. Good idea, thanks! I don't have the ability/skill to make my own seat, but I...
I hope this works...
Sure, this is a mock up of how the solo seat might look on the bike. I'm trying to picture a passenger seat or pillion pad that could mount...
Sorry for the confusion. I have my solo seat. I'm looking for a removable passenger seat or possibly a pillion pad. It's going to be mainly a...
I looked on JP for seats. I really didn't find much under $100. I can't believe there aren't cheaper options out there.
Love the suggestion. Thanks! Will it fit on my frame? Any idea how wide they are? I know anything I do will be a custom job and require some...
