    Don't know much about your bike but Chacal is your man when it comes to parts.
    Check out his thread in the for sale pages.

    Howdy, I have a xj650 that has sat for about 6 years. With gas prices as they are, I decided to try to get it running. I have gotten a lot of good advice from this site and have just cleaned the carbs thoroughly. I got it to run after about 6 minutes of trying and it sounded a little rough before it backfired and caught on fire. I put it out without much damage. There is a definite leak in my gas tank.

    firemanseth3, Welcome!
    If you are looking for parts, post a wanted thread in our For Sale, Wanted forum.
    If you want technical questions answered, first dig into our archives and see if the question has been answered yet. If you can't find what you seek easily, post the question on the XJ Chat forum. I expect that Rick-O-Matic will have a few words of advice concerning your 900 seeing as he has rebuilt his.
    Happy motoring!
