    Anyone in New England good with XJ (turbo) carb rebuilds/sync/tuning? Possibly the valve adjustments? My first time doing both...Looking for either someone I could pay to do it, or come drink beer and help LOL

    Take the plastics off.

    Read these; the Turbo is no different than any other aircooled XJ as far as valve adjustment goes. I did my best to clarify and simplify the process, the books make it seem so complicated.

    Valve adjustment: http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=14827.html same as your bike once you get the covers off.

    In regard to carbs. Your bike has special "pressurizable" Mikunis, they are very similar to the BS28s on the 550s, except that they have o-ring type gaskets and some other internal differences. But they're basically very similar to this inside: http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=31061.html
