New here and owner of xj 650 y.85

The boots have shrunk over time........

 

Looks like it

 

Soo need new ones,a?

 

Chacal how is with sending items to slovenia from you?

 

air box is forward all the way?

 

Slovenia is just a mouse-click away for us via the Postal Service!

The shipping fees may be rather steep though, if there are other parts that you need, best to order them all at one time.

Send me an e-mail at info@xj4ever.com or use the "Start A Conversation" feature on this website so we can discuss further.

 

Aha ,ok i will check for what all i need then we talk abouth it,tnx for now

 

Finaly i get it on,tnx to hair dryer and you guys.

 

Slowly is moving.but important is that is moving,hheehe

 

Slowley is moving my project.a lot of things is needed before will go on road.

 

Fixed holes in front light( homemade)

Fixed shifting problem

Fixed clutch wich sliding with high rpm,need yust loose it.
Mount front blinkers and you see on pics.

 

I would highly recommend re-doing your brake pedal so that the rod from the pedal to the pivot is PULLING rather than pushing. The way it current is is not the best.....if you stomp on the brake hard in an emergency, that rod could fold up. Then you'd be in a world of hurt. Re-position so the forward control PULLS the rod, AND the brake link from the pivot PULLS on the brake arm on the cover. It's easy......move the rod and the link to a position ABOVE the shafts rather than below.

 

Tnx ,i will check how to fix that,tnx

 

Fixed front brake(filled with dot,5 min and was finished.very happy with that method.

 

Any idea how to swap up brake rod becouse all i can see is no space or i just dont have the wright pics in my head.

Put speedometer on 0 and change srews on it becouse was all rusted and damaged.

Ok lets live 100 meters ok,hhehhe.

New bolts.

 

Sealed good ,water dont came in.

 

And the location of speedometer on bike

 

Nice dent on the front left of the tank!

"Au contraire", you say?

First time you put your bike on the side stand and walk away, the front is going to flop left and ram the speedo right into the tank-----right into the afore-mentioned dent that you now have.

"Au contraire", you say?

First sharp left turn, first sharp left evasive maneuver, first time backing upinto a parking spot on the left, etc......you'll find out about the upcoming dent

 

Longer bushing to get the lever out from behind the side cover

 

I have 4cm space betwen speedo and tank when i turn left.

Hmm if i make longer bushing(spacer)is the same like now.becouse if i hard pres in emergenci is posability that this spacer break and have the same problem,this is just my thinking.realy i dont know what to do.

 

If you have that much space, cool. I can't see it.

Use hardened hardware. If you're on the brake hard enough to bend stuff, your rear brakes would, I'm sure, already be locked up..... In which case, you're already in about to be in a different world of hurt

 

Tnx mate for helping .i'll starz on full my brains hhehehe to find good solution hheehhe

 

One more thing do you know if switc of clutch on handelbar is the same like of brake on handlbar,if yes how i get out the switch of clutch becouse on my brake is missing

 

There is a small hole underneath....push a small screwdriver in gently to depress the plastic barb in there. That will allow the switch. To slide out

 

Tnx i get it out but is not the same like for brake,becouse work diferent.

 

Cleaning carbs.

 

I hope that i get it wright,becouse here in slovenia we dont have a good clinic for it.

 

You've taken it this far apart.....take it the rest of the way apart and do the throttle shaft seals and the fuel rail o-rings, too. If you don't, you'll soon wish you did......especially when you have to tear it all back down to do them.

 

Aha om just affraid that i will cant bent inaf the springs or is nor soo much difficult

 

Its not that hard andy. I did it myself just recently without any prior knowledge. BUT! Take a million pictures from all angles on everything. That really helped me getting the springs back correctly. And get the seals and orings from chacal.

 

Ok tnx mate i recenrly take pics of everyrhing .i will take of that to ,i will try.hhehehehe lets see

 

Ok carbs are a part and now 24 hours must stay in soap for aluminium.lets see what will happen

 

Carbs are together and ready to go on bike ,that cleaner didnt make wright magic need some better.

 

Nice!

 

And we are always here to help you put things Back correctly

 

Tnx

 

One question ,can anybidy tell me where is the diference of my bike wich have just 37kw and other with 52 or 51 kw?

 

14-15kw.

 

Good one --- lol

Reminds me of a time years ago when a co-worker was staring at a shelf of cleaning fluids and asked, "what's the difference between the yellow fluid and the green fluid?" I quickly replied....(you guessed it)......,"the blue fluid."

Coffee dripped everywhere.

 

Hahahahha,funny a hahha.i understand that soo much diference is imposible,but in my papers for registration is writted that bike have just 37.

 

That have bike of my kid

 

Ok abouth bike is like this: first valve cover gasket -after aroumd 40km he push bouth half moons out and brake that moons-temporary i fix it soo i can ride but i need to change it or make some alu moons and reasembel cover without gasket,next-carbs #2 start spliting gas in airbox soo it needed to open when i open it i found that i didnt clean soo well one port it didnt work soo well ,soo i clean all four again reasembel everything then put mix screws on 2.5 turns and start the engine .then was the fun part to sync with ear hhehe,but we maid it and bike run super ,ok maybe he need some super littel touch of sync.but if you listen it is sounds very well with ear sycn.works on around 1000rpm (if is stand or i i put it on side never bance rpm) i think we make it well.
I will try some day,ok when i buy ,a color tune but first i need to solve that cover gasket .

On bike i clean and change the oil in front forks and put another spacer of 4mm in,the i cut rear springs for 2cm,then we test rear shock and they work like a new even they are old more then 30 years.
I future: came new rear mirrora on the side of bar,like to try pods to see how works,other turning lights with bulbs now are led-i dont like it,next year all bike in new paint-when i will finish all cuttings ,reasembling,fixing, and ....
