How did you get here?

i picked up a 1982 yics got confused with the yics style motor searched over land an sea and discovered this little gem of a site thanks for the info any one close to nyc willing to help a brother a bit more

 

I was doing a google search on a mountain near me (Mica Peak) when I came across www.micapeak.com. That's where I found www.xjbikes.com.
I live just a few miles from Mica Peak. Many years ago, I bought my '82 XJ750J from a guy who lives in Mica, which is at the base of the mountain. It's all too weird, but I have found me a home! This website make XJ ownership a wonderful thing.

 

I was searching for parts for my sister-in-law's Maxim 750 and this popped up. Just what I was looking for.

 

Playing on "google" while at work

Was given a XJ750 Maxim without any manuals. The bike also needs a "few" cosmetic parts....

 

I rode my bike here...

 

I was Googling for "XJ900S" manuals and XJBikes came up as one of the search results. I have been looking for something specific to XJ's so I'd thought I'd join in and see what the state of play is!

 

I was going to repair a friends 1982 XJ550 Maxim and instead he gave it to me for free. Free is good, except when it comes to old bikes. Then it's expensive.

 

Bought my dads xj750 and needed some advice from other xj owners. you guys came up on a google search and im glad i did. everyone has been a huge help so far.

 

i bought my xj600,and had a few minor things wrong with it.it'd had a repair on the worm drive thingy on the clutch.i dont know what the correct term for the part was,and after many attempts at googling different names for it,i was about to give up.had 1 last ditch try and just googled xj clutch.sifted through some stuff and found rickomatics clutch setup guide.read thro it and saved to faves.came to the forums from there.tiz a really good site,and theres loadsa information,and peoples that are quick to offer advice and even a helping hand in some cases.keep up the gd work!!!

 

was googling up for more info before i bought my xj650 and i found this site. great site and tremendous amount of quality info! glad to be here!

 

I googled 1981 xj650 Maxim parts for sale and came across the site.

 

I found the site from searching for parts on google. I must say its a good find.

 

Another googler. I liked the attitude of the Admin and moderators, as well as the community. Straight talk, no BS. I was hooked.

 

I was fed up with the non-working starter clutch on my '82 XJ750 Maxim that I had bought for $500 and was told it ran and was an easy fix... I had let it sit behind the house for 6 months and was considering junking it or converting to electric. While doing searches around the web, stumbled upon this site. Glad I'm not alone! Have since started and ridden the bike. I'm now going through the carbs and plan on completely going through the bike one system at a time... You guys have saved another great bike from an untimely death!

 

I googled Yamaha XJ carbutetors. Took me right here. Great site with lots of great information.

 

I purchased a 82"650 seca last week and wanted more info on xj bobbers.so I googled it and your site was third down and i saw ,solo's bobber build.so here i am.I have now finished my seca after a week and looking for a new project.

 

Google search 650 yamaha xj

 

Yet another enlightened/enlightening (still in the process) person, thanks to google, would be myself.

 

I was looking online for valve cover gaskets for my 550maxim and came accross a review site that talked about a guy named "chakal" on these forums with a link to one of your threads. After that I couldn't resist joining.

 

Same as most replies, I stumbled upon here via google.
Also, to metion I had one recommendation from a seperate forum I was browsing.

So far it has been nothing but good reading and great advice.

Looking forward in taking part.
