Lets not forget that Len is one of us. He also rides an XJ! He turned his passion into something that benefits us all. Which deserves as much...
Just gonna take a shot in the dark and guess that the shift linkage has already been flipped and he is not aware that the 750 shifter uses the...
You know that extra set your supposed to carry. That would have been a good time! Glad to hear you made it out ok otherwise. Make sure that the...
I like either the dyna or cb750 coils with solid core wires and ngk plugs
Swapped coils and still no spark = Bad plug! Swap plugs to check. ~Ghost
The reason everyone has problems getting the airbox back in is they do not remove the intake boots. It also helps to remove the front engine mount...
The 750 tank has just over 1 gallon reserve. Your fuel light will start blinking to indicate the need to switch to reserve. You should get another...
Where ever you got your info from is incorrect. Read the rest of the link you provided. It is the 650 Maxim tank that is 3.5 gallon. The 750 Maxim...
I think a banner arrow point at it with the words look here would almost work as well! ~Ghost
Once you are caught up with all that! You can start with the front brake master cylinder, and caliper service/rebuild. Followed by the steering...
The 750 maxim tank is the same capacity as the seca tank. You will not gain anything doing the swap unless it is for appearance reasons. Even then...
Just click on member name chacal to bring up his member page. Under the information tab you will find the start conversation button to contact...
Welcome aboard! I am sure I will be picking your brains when I finally get an 1100. ~Ghost
He only lost #1 cylinder, It will be a common 650 piston if he needs one. A good used set easy to find on ebay or just a single new from chacal...
The insurance company only needs to talk to the other person to verify the police report. The other drivers refusal to respond will be taken as a...
Assuming that you are going to attach the cross bar to the sissy/back rest at approximately the seat pan height it should give plenty support. I...
The insurance is going to want to cut a check as quick as possible. The claim stays open until the check gets cashed. You are not obligated to...
I hate being a Debbie Downer but hold off on sending those cams to the shop until the head comes off. Steel valves and alloy pistons do not play...
You have gotten the itch to start riding. For the price you should be able to get on the bike and ride! Take a few steps to at least make sure the...
They look to be the stock rams horns. Just rotated forward. ~Ghost
So the tire is not mounted true to the wheel? Or is the wobble limited to the section that is rubbing? What causes some concern for me is that...
It does not matter if I like it or not. It is not my bike. Just a thought on the chain. If you could fasten it to the rear peg mounts then up to...
It really depends on how heavy the rust is. ~For light surface rust a good soak with white cider vinegar will clean things up nice. Will need a...
First guess. Worn or broken springs on the shifter. External Second guess. Worn or damaged shift forks or gear dogs. Internal ~Ghost
Really could use some pics of the patient on this but I would definitely be looking at the springs. #'s 2, & 6...
With an oil filter strap wrench. It has a nylon strap that wraps around the rotor. Then as you turn the wrench with a breaker bar or ratchet it...
One of the very few that isn't flat black. A refreshing change! And the turn outs are a nice touch. And you kept the airbox. Good job! No you...
The bearing spacer is pretty stout. Same wall thickness as the hub spacer. It would take some serious over torquing to do anything. More likely...
The $20-30 that you will spend on replacing the springs, caps, and rollers will be well worth the piece of mind of knowing that you won't have to...
Mine is only 8x8 and works great for the lawn mower! ~Ghost
No texting while driving! Can't handle the small buttons on the phone anyways! I only check in briefly from the phone on my stops. Any responses...
Figure approx 3x8 per bike. Unless you have a fairing or hard bags. Then go to 4x8 for safety. Realistically you can only put 2 bikes side by side...
Nice! When are you going? 4-1 exhaust, and side covers are about all I see. Check for emblem on gauges and gold fuel cap It sure would look good...
Why do guys act so up righteous, and arrogant when someone tries to explain a problem, and offer advice to help them? Why do guys intentionally...
Can you send me some pics and a price? ~Ghost
Pods are strictly an image based trap that many fall into. Anyone seriously interested in increasing performance would not even consider using...
One question comes to mind. Are you sure that it is miles, and not Kilometers? If the outside ring of the speedo is marked KPH the reading would...
I have spent the last couple days going through manuals (both FSM and Haynes). Nowhere in any of the manuals that I checked did it give any clear...
Sounds like an interesting project! Make sure you document every detail about it! Your going to have a whole lot of researching, measuring,...
The 650 seca is one that Tabaka was looking to pick up and I was very interested in. He was informed the the bike was sold while he was on his way...
The 1157 bulb for the tail/brake light is grounded through the body. The two contacts are for the tail light and brake light power leads. You...
These bikes were originally equipped with anti tamper plugs on the mixture screws so there will be a small space at the top without threads. If...
The O-rings seal the joint between the cases and sleeves. This keeps the oil from leaking out from under the cylinders. ~Ghost
Correct! Pull the fairing with gauges attached and set them on the rag covering the front fender/wheel. Pull the top crown with handle bars...
The 900 came factory equipped with the tapered roller bearings. You will not get the normal flat spot that the ball bearings get. No need to...
You just know, a piece from here, a piece from there. Eventually it just comes together! Need to get the 12 over forks, and the 6 degree tree,...
One of the last steps in the final tuning process. It involves using a see through spark plug to adjust the fuel mixtures to the correct burn...
Then there is always the Dyna coils. A common upgrade. ~Ghost
What ever happened to the XJ 3D project? ~Ghost
Not familiar with the 600 divy but it sounds like dirty, corroded electrical connections and/or bad grounds. ~Ghost
