Ordered my parts and got them sooooo quick!!!!! Thanks again Len for an ultra smooth transaction!!!!
Personally I'd drain it and open up that clutch. Pull the plates and inspect. Replace if necessary. Better to do it now than in the side of the...
Maybe I'm not understanding correctly. The rear wheel spins with clutch pulled in. I bet you could put your foot on it and easily stop it. I...
You want blue with a bit orange as these bikes like to run a touch rich. Have you done a plug drop?
Do it right the first time so you don't have to do it again.
OK you mentioned 4 picks up at 4000. That sounds like its at The point when you bypass the mixture part. Honestly I think you need to adjust that...
First thing that comes to mind is the fuel to air mixture. I'm still a rookie with this so go easy if I'm wrong but my thought process is if your...
This makes me wish I had the extra cash to buy the kit.
Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL Thanks again Len!!! We had that missing item and you quickly sent out a replacement....
Its so frustrating. Batteries aren't cheap. I shouldn't have to buy a new one every year.
What numbers are acceptable at each stage
How do I test under load
Nice bike. You're a braver man than I going with pods. I've seen enough people having trouble on here to scare me away.
OK so after this long cold winter I go out to check the bike and start getting ready for spring. I go to start it and I get one or two attempts at...
Lol that would be something if chacal had those in stock plus you would have them in just a couple days lol
Sounds like your going to attack this like its a motorcycle. And you'll probably succeed justas well. Good luck and get well soon. Oh and your...
get well rick we miss you.
2 1/2 turns out how about that. Learned something new thanx fitz
1.5 turns out on mix screws for starters. Color tune will help later to get them right.
The manual will show where to set float heights. This high idle is an easy fix. Turn the idle screw down till it gets the desired idle. Bench sync...
Is the bike warmed up? You have to warm them up for it to hold a low idle. Also remember to adjust idle speed during sync . I found airline...
Yeah rebuild those carbs , get your valves in spec, vac sync and Color tune. That'll probably be what she needs. Also pull off that. Rear wheel...
I'm waiting going on 3 weeks for a part.from the dealer. I could have gotten it 2 and half weeks ago if I ordered it from len. Never again will I...
Sounds like after rebuilding calipers and master cylinder all problems will be gone. The locking sounds like the master cylinder isn't sucking...
Lol I have no idea what I'm looking at. I'm sure someone else does.
Xjproblem sounds like a solenoid issue. Had the same problem rebuilt the solenoid and it was fixed. But like big Fitz said this should all be new...
If I had a sweet custom ride I would definitely insure it for what I put in it too. Mine is all stock and barely worth more than blue.book.
Yuck mine never looked that bad thank god
Pet cock. Lol. My pet rooster. Sorry just had to.
Search for the church of clean in the forum. Good guide for carb cleaning. Sounds like that's what she needs. Followed with valve clearance, carb...
Automotive oil contains additives that our wet clutches.just plain don't like. Lots of slippage. Stick with motorcycle oil. Every brand is a...
$99 a year from geico. I couldn't imagine paying $1400. That's more than my bikeis worth.
These xjs are super fast. Looks like you got yourself a real gem. Like everyone else says check the rear brake shoes, check the valve shims for...
Well the bike is finished and running great. Ill have to post some pictures of it here soon. Had to rent a vacuum pump to do the front brakes....
Just make sure to buys quality extractor kit. They are worth the money.
Ouch that's a bad day. Good luck.
Yeah the shims are in spec. Hopefully when I rebuild the master cylinder it will be all that was wrong with it.
started her up and let her run all the cobwebs off the engine. music to my ears.
Oh the tach cable always comes loose on the engine. I thought put some loctite on the threads.would.stop that
I am waiting for my new lines to arrive. I disassembled the master cylinder and cleaned it. I am waiting for the rebuild kit but I was trying to...

Okay so today started reassembling the bike. New chain new sprockets new brake shoes and pads stuff like that. Discovered my master cylinder wont...
Patience the tool you need the most. Make sure after your done and before you vac sync you check those valve clearances. Everyone here says kroil...

Looking good.
Try len he might have the collector box.
Dunces is supposed to be synced. Damn auto spell
