G'day
New to site so thought I would just say hello, I have just purchased an XJ750, would really appreciate some help with determining the exact model, ID plate say 11/83 45T-000149 XJ750R, all the info I have found keeps referring to RL model. Any help would be great. Not sure if I will be doing a full restore or just modifying.

 

Yes mate it's an XJ750 RL basically it's a XJ900 chassis with a 750 motor.
If you do a search it will come up a few times.
I've got one myself and there are quite a few on the board.

 

Thanks gunnabuild1, Does that mean most parts from a 900 will fit? It seems a bit hard to find exact matches for the 750.

 

Yes I've bought 2 900's as parts bikes the only difference basically is the engine itself.
At least that's what I've found so far,I'm curious about the final drive gearing though.

 

Per Chacal's Listing:

COUNTRY: AUSTRALIA

MODEL NAME: XJ750RL
STREET NAME: 1984 XJ750 Seca
MODEL ID CODE: 45T
FRAME ID: 45T
SERIAL NUMBER STARTS AT: 000101
NOTE: 750 engine in an XJ900 frame. Approximately only 286 sold into Australia. Engine actually displaces 749cc (1cc larger than standard XJ750 models, which were only 748cc's) and uses a hotter exhaust cam, larger intake valves, different crankcase, cylinder jugs, and pistons/rings, the XJ900 type clutch assembly and middle gears set, as well as the strengthened 2nd gear set as used in the XJ650 Turbo, XJ750-X, and XJ900 models.

 

To clarify the "Model name" a little bit:

R = Seca
L = 1984 (K = '83, etc.)

 

Almost the same as XJ750E-II, and going by the info I have only 2000 made; looks like they did another RL in 1984 also for the Canadian market only 3000 made model # 44X.
