Keep an eye on the buy/sell here, cycle salvage places may have some items, xj4ever (Chacal, supporting vendor, link on the top right; fantastic...
I'm not familiar with either the 750's or the 900's. Do you have a photo that shows the same area, but not zoomed in as tight? Welcome to the...
Why? She gonna do a trick? (Sorry, couldn't help myself)
[ATTACH] Got my replacement rear m/c from BC early this week. Everything seemed to be in working order, but I threw the new seals on anyway. Spent...
Nearing done on the fuses. Main 30A fuse replaced with an inline blade style holder, same with the 2A fuse behind the headlight. Got the four main...
Spring and rubber are good. I think the piston is too. Either way, I found a used cylinder from a salvage outfit in BC (New Life Salvage),...
I would start with the cheap and easy first, and start as you have planned. It sounds to me like the brushes on your starter are marginal. Along...
Pulled it apart again. Got a pic of the worst of the pitting. Does this look bad enough to be what's sticking things up?[ATTACH]
I decided to get the braided stainless lines and rebuild kits from Chacal; great service by the way. The current hang up is the piston in the...
Getting a little frustrated with my rear master cylinder. I have pulled it apart a few times now, and it'll compress and spring back easily a few...
Ignorance was bliss. As I am in the thick of a complete brake line, m/c, and caliper rebuild, I find myself shaking my head at the highway rides I...
Nvmnd. Found it. Tagged end to termination point.
When replacing brake lines with stainless steel ones from Chacal, the red taped end goes towards or away from the master cylinder? I'm sure I have...
When rebuilding my octopus, I ended up crossing the feeds from the petcock to the far side of the bike, after the 'T'. This allowed me room to put...
Sensor works. Just unplugged it from the headlight. Will cease any further efforts at removal, and work to clean around it. Thanks for the timely...
Fluid level sensor.
All but 2 intake valves now in spec. Gotta order 2 x 270's. Now getting ready to go back to work, I was thinking about taking the calipers and...
I'm from Canuckistan as well, Mississauga (for now)and once I get my maxim 1100 all up to snuff, my 650 seca will be the next project bike. It was...
One, two if you stretch, temporary solutions and a random question... Solution the potentially temporary: Found some hex head m12-1.5("single...
I don't have a 750, I'm sure someone will come along with more machine specific knowledge, this is a great place for that. I'll second the church...
I did torx as step one after realizing it was stripped, then tried the screw removal style helical tool (had it), then tried the internal pipe...
Yeah, I came across the diagram on XS11.com. I'll be making the the measurements onto a zip tie tonight, once I finish up with the bearing checks...
The fork oil change has gone uneventfully, nice to have one go like that lately. Figured out that the fill plug on the middle gear was standing...
I likely could have saved a few dollars trying to get a set of lines built at a shop, but needed the m/c and caliper rebuild kits, as well as a...
With minimal modification of the fuel lines from the underseat diagram I managed to re-plumb the octopus, now complete with in-line filters. I...
Clearances on all but exhaust on #2 cylinder were tight, some by 2 shim sizes. The motion pro shim tool was well worth the cost! Between that, and...
Anyone have any experience with the Galfer SS 5-line kit for these bikes? I'm having a heck of a time trying to find brake line kits in Canada,...
Well shoot, there it is. Between the photo and the underseat diagram, the plumbing should be easy enough. Thanks
Oh man, thanks! That photo speaks. I think I have all the appropriate hardware, but it has been "modified". That pic will help me get it back on...
Hi all. I realize that it is better to condense issues with a given bike to a threat for that bike, I had posted earlier about an issue bogging...
Fixing the fuel lines seems to have solved the power issues. Now onto the rest of the work. Thanks for the ideas folks; much appreciated.
I can't seem to find my hard drive with my XJCD on it at the moment, does anyone know offhand what the ID and OD of the fuel lines for a 1984...
Dang it. I am almost embarrassed that I didn't think of the gas cap. Makes good sense. I got her home last night, now I have access to my tools...
Hi folks, I recently came across a gorgeous XJ 1100 maxim (1984, canada) with full vetter farings for a song and a dance. It hasn't been ridden...
^^^^^^^ BWA HAH HAH. Good answer!
Sorry, at work right now (yay night-shift). Away from the bike and resources. I'll check in tomorrow. If you haven't yet, I HIGHLY recommend...
Maybe different boots, but caps need to be off to fit the boots on my seca as well.
I'm fairly new to these xj's, but I'd be happy to throw in my $0.02. Bring along a compression tester when you go look at it (and, if needed,...
The XJCD set is invaluable! It should have what you're looking for, and more. Well worth the small price. Thanks again DV!
Thunder Bay, Ontario. Suppose I should put it in the signature. Cheers
Loads of options remain. Hi all, I'm new to the forum. Have been lurking for a while and figure this is as good a place as any to jump in....
