    STEERING COMPONENTS:

    HANDLEBARS AND HARDWARE:

    hb22) OEM original style HANDLEBARS bring back the original shine and appearance to your bike.

    NOTE: due to the size of these items, the free or reduced shipping charges offer will not apply to shipments including these parts.


    Many people wish to change from their stock handlebars to flatter, "cafe" or "drag" style handlebars. Although such bars look very racy, and will certainly give your bike a different feel and riding style, there are some issues to consider when considering such a change.

    The OEM handlebars from either the XJ550 models, XJ650RJ Seca models, XJ650 Turbo models, XJ700 models, and XJ750 Seca models are pretty flat, and should clear the fuel tank properly at full lock (something that certain "drag bars" may not be able to do) on almost every XJ model that they are fitted to.....excepting the 1982 XJ750 Maxim, the XJ900RK Seca, and the XJ1100 models, which use adjustable "stub" handlebars that mount in a completely different manner from the round handlebars used on all other models.

    Obviously, the Seca models used "flatter and straighter" bars than the other models, as did the XJ650 Turbo models.

    Also, be aware that when you go from those hi-rise stock bars to flat bars, you're probably going to have to also change your master cylinder and clutch lever bracket, and may also have to acquire much shorter control cables (clutch and throttle) and possibly the master cylinder brake hose.

    Finally, beware of handlebar-to-tank clearance issues when going to flatter bars. One aspect of stock bars that is overlooked is that they have enough "rise" to make prevent the bars from contacting the forward sides of the fuel tank in "full lock" positions. AFTERMARKET BARS WITH A LOW "RISE" MAY HIT THE TANK AT FULL LOCK, OR, PREVENT YOU FROM REACHING FULL LOCK WITHOUT TRAPPING YOUR HANDS BETWEEN THE BARS AND THE TANK. Although this issue can then be "solved" by rotating the bars "upwards" (to get more rise out of the bars), this can typically result in an uncomfortable riding position.


    For comparison, below are the dimensions for stock handlebars. Notice that while the XJ550 handlebars have the same "rise" when measured to the grip, that they are much flatter bars than the XJ650 Maxim models (which have the same amount of rise), since the 650 Maxim bars go way "up" and then curve back down, thus ending up at the same relative position as the 550 bars, but without that big "buckhorn" styling.

    The XJ650RJ Seca and the XJ650 Turbo bars are the "flattest" and "straightest" of the bunch; the XJ550 and XJ700 bars have some curves to them.


    The dimensions specified below have the following meanings. If you remember basic geometry, then in a 3-dimensional diagram, the WIDTH dimension is the x-axis, the RISE is the y-axis, and the PULLBACK is the z-axis. Note that when handlebars are actually installed into their typical position on a bike, the actual (on the bike) RISE and the PULLBACK dimensions will likely differ, as handlebars are rarely installed (or can/will be changed to suit an individual rider) with the bars in a perfectly perpendicular orientation to the steering crown (which is how RISE and PULLBACK are specified for a bar for measurement purposes, i.e. off a bike, sitting on a tabletop, etc.). The WIDTH dimension, of course, is always true, on or off the bike, and that dimensions is not affected by any rotational position within the handlebar holders.

    OVERALL WIDTH = the overall width; the widest possible straight-line measurement, measured to the very outer ends of the handlebar.

    RISE AT GRIP ENDS: the overall height; measured with the straight center section of the handlebars laying flat on a surface, and then the tallest straight-line "upwards" measurement with the grip ends of the handlebars being horizontally level. Note that on many types of handlebars that raise to a peak and then turn back "down" to the rider, the handlebars are actually "taller" (if laid flat on a surface) than the "rise" dimension indicates......this is because "rise" is calculated at the grip position, not at the tallest point of the bars.

    PULLBACK AT GRIP ENDS: the overall depth of the handlebars; measured with the straight center section of the handlebars laying flat on a surface, and with the grip ends of the handlebars being horizontally level, this is the deepest straight-line "rearwards" measurements back to the grip ends of the handlebar.


    1981-83 XJ550 all models:
    overall width = 28-1/2"
    rise at grip ends = 4"
    pullback at grip ends = 6-1/4"


    1980-83 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim:
    overall width = 28"
    rise at grip ends = 4"
    pullback at grip ends = 10-3/4"


    1982 XJ650RJ Seca models:
    overall width = 26"
    rise at grip ends = 1"
    pullback at grip ends = 4-1/4"


    1982-3 XJ650 Turbo models:
    overall width = 26"
    rise at grip ends = 3"
    pullback at grip ends = 5-1/2"
    NOTE: black chrome.


    1985-6 XJ700 models:
    overall width = 29"
    rise at grip ends = 1-1/4"
    pullback at grip ends = 4-1/4"


    1981-83 XJ750 Seca models:
    overall width = 29"
    rise at grip ends = 9.5"
    pullback at grip ends = 7"
    NOTE: the XH750 Seca bars have numerous handlebar shrouding "tabs" welded onto them along their length, designed to hold the soft vinyl handlebar upper and lower covers, and do not look very attractive when they are un-shrouded, i.e. "naked".


    1978-81 XS1100 all Special models:
    overall width = 29"
    rise at grip ends = 6"
    pullback at grip ends = 11-3/4"


    When swapping out the "hi-rise" roto-tiller style bars as used on the XJ650 Maxim or Midnight Maxim, 1983 XJ750 Maxim or Midnight Maxim, or XS1100 Special models to flatter bars, you will also need to make two other changes:

    http://www.xjbikes.com/forums/threads/handlebar-swap-ditching-the-horns.94195/#post-523008

    a) substitute an appropriate "horizontally level" style master cylinder. The master cylinder on the above models mounts at about a 40-degree "down-tilted" angle in order to keep the fluid reservoir more-or-less level. On all other models, the master cylinder is completely level with the horizontal when mounted on their (flat) handlebars.....and so if you substitute flat style bars on the XJ650 or XJ750 Maxim models, you'll also have to use the appropriate "flatter-bars" type of master cylinder.

    b) the left side clutch lever bracket will also need to be changed, as the left mirror screws into this bracket, and on the "buckhorn bars" style bikes, this bracket has the mirror-mounting boss cast into it at a "tilted" angle, to compensate for the tilt of the bars.......and re-using that bracket on "flat bars" will leave your left-side mirror sticking outwards at a really strange (and very non-useful) angle. You should choose a mirror bracket that is correct for the handlebar that you are using. In most case you should be able to re-use your original clutch hand lever and hardware.



    Original Handlebars:

    HCP4407 OEM original HANDLEBARS, bright chrome plated, fits all XJ550 models. NOTE: unlike the original bars, these replacement versions have internal bar stiffener rods welded insider of them, which prevents the use of aftermarket style “bar-end” mirrors.
    $ 199.95

    HCP9183 OEM plastic handlebar SPACER RING, the thin round ring that fits on the right side, between the control switch and the master cylinder, use 1 per bike on all XJ550 Seca, XJ750P (24L), and XJ750P (37H) models.
    $ 6.95



    HCP4406 OEM original HANDLEBARS, bright chrome plated, fits all XJ650 Maxim models. NOTE: XJ650 Midnight Maxim models used this same shape and configuration bar, but it was black-chromed. NOTE: the HCP28062 handlebars below (for the XS1100 Special models are an acceptable substitute for the original XJ650 Maxim handlebars; the HCP28062 have the same bends and dimensions except that the straight “ends” of the bars (where the grips attach) are approximately 1” longer on the XS1100 bars (as compared to the XJ650 Maxim bars), and the overall spread (or WIDTH dimension) is also approximately 1” wider than stock XJ650 Maxim bars.

    HCP28062 Aftermarket reproduction of the original HANDLEBARS, bright chrome plated, fits all XS1100 Special and Midnight Special models. Note that these are chrome-plated bars, so not truly correct for the Midnight models. NOTE: these handlebars are an acceptable substitute for the original XJ650 Maxim handlebars; these HCP28062 have the same bends and dimensions except that the straight “ends” of the bars (where the grips attach) are approximately 1” longer on the XS1100 bars (as compared to the XJ650 Maxim bars), and the overall spread (or WIDTH dimension) is also approximately 1” wider than stock XJ650 Maxim bars. NOTE: due to the size of these handlebars, the reduced-cost shipping fees offer will not apply to this item.

    Steering Crowns, Handlebar Risers, and Hardware:

    The steering CROWN BRACKET is the cast aluminum piece that your handlebars actually bolt onto, while the RISERS and their associated HOLDER CAPS actually cinch the handlebar to the crown (note: on most models, the risers are actually cast as part of the steering crown bracket itself).

    The above pieces rarely every "wear out", but the crown bracket may become damaged in an accident or bike drop, and it is possible to strip out or fracture off a fork tube mounting ear in certain situations.

    HANDLEBAR GRIPS:

    hb23) OEM and aftermarket HANDLEBAR GRIPS restore that like-new feel to your steering, and gives your bike that "brand-new" look.

    All original replacement OEM grips use a soft textured rubber pattern that is identical to the original pattern used, and the right side grip includes the plastic throttle tube.

    Aftermarket grips come in a variety of textures and styles as described below, and all are packaged as matched right and left sets. The right grip does not include the throttle tube, and your original tube must be re-used and typically must be modified to accept the replacement grip (the raised nibs on the outer end of the tube will need to be shaved down flat).


    Besides being more comfortable and, depending on the style selected, more colorful!-----aftermarket grips are available in a variety of different lengths. Stock lengths for original grips are listed below, and the length of the grip determines how far "onto" (length-wise) that the handlebar disappears into the grip inner tube----which also determines, on some models, the placement of the control switches, the master cylinder, and the clutch lever perch. On many models it is possible to use "deeper" (longer) grips than original; it will require either that the switches, etc. be pushed further "inward" on the handlebars (if possible and desired), or, that the grip is not fully driven onto the handlebar. Since the differences in length are rarely over 1/2", the lack of the handlebar being embedded fully into the grip for that short of a distance make no real meaningful difference in performance, although the unsupported part of the grip may feel a little "loose" . Longer grips are sometime preferred by people with extra-large sized hands.

    NOTE: if you intend to use the type of bar-end mirrors whose mounting post fits inside of the end of the handlebar tube, be aware that the ends of the grips (original or aftermarket) must be removed so that the mirror clamp can fit inside the handlebar, or, the grips listed below which have "open ends" should be used.


    Original Handlebar Grip Depths:

    These measurements are the total depth inside the original grip tubes, and thus determined the "fully-flush" distance that the inner end of the grip will be occupy from the end of the handlebar. You can use these measurements to compare against any possible fitment (overhang) issues when using aftermarket grips. Note that less than 5mm (less than 1/4") of difference will not be noticeable, at all, while differences of 10mm or more can be, and differences of 20mm or greater are generally not recommended.

    Original grips with a 121mm tube depth (4-3/4"):

    XJ550 all models left and right sides
    XJ650 all models (except Turbo) left and right sides
    XJ650 Turbo right side
    1982-83 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim right side
    1981 XJ750 Seca on and before frame number 002949, right side


    Original grips with a 124mm tube depth (4-7/8"):

    XJ650 Turbo left side
    1982-83 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim left side
    1981 XJ750 Seca on and before frame number 002949, left side


    Original grips with a 130mm tube depth (5-1/8"):

    1981 XJ750 Seca after frame number 002949, left side and right side
    1982-3 XJ750 Seca left side and right side
    XJ1100 left side and right side


    Original grips with a 134mm tube depth (5-1/4"):

    FJ600 left and right side
    XJ750RL left side and right side
    XJ900RK left side and right side


    Original grips with a 136mm tube depth (5-3/8"):

    XJ700 all models left side and right side
    XJ750-X all models left side and right side
    NOTE: the above models also use a separate chrome end cap that extends the overall outer length of the grip + cap to 140mm



    The installation of a new grip (original or aftermarket) is pretty straight-forward: you cut (with a sharp razor blade, x-acto knife, etc.) the old grips off----VERY CAREFULLY on the right side, so as to not damage the plastic throttle tube that is underneath it!----and then clean off all the old goo, adhesive, or debris from the handlebar itself (on the left side) or the plastic throttle tube (on the right side), and then lube up (silicone spray, etc.) the new ones and gently pound them into place!

    If you want to add a little adhesive to the left side grip, the best product to use is an aerosol hair spray, it remains slick for a moment or two and then dries very sticky!


    A couple of thoughts to consider when purchasing grips:

    a) original or aftermarket rubber grips will have the longest life.

    b) aftermarket foam grips can be quite comfortable, and will reduce vibration-induced "numbness" of the hands that can occur on longer rides; however, the foam tends to deteriorate after a few years, especially if the bike is left outside or in the weather.

    c) CLOSED END grips have their ends closed off (similar to the stock grips on all models except XJ700's and XJ900's, which used OPEN-END grips along with DECORATIVE END CAPS to "tidy-up" their open ends). These grips can have their ends "opened" with the careful use of a razor knife, etc. After such surgery, decorative end caps or bar-end mirrors can be used with these style grips.

    d) OPEN-END grips have their ends open (similar to the stock grips used on XJ700's and XJ900's) and traditionally are used with DECORATIVE END CAPS to "tidy-up" their open ends, or with bar-end mirrors.

    e) some handlebars have internal "end weights" installed in them that must be removed before any decorative end caps (or post-type bar-end mirrors) can be used. If the ends of your handlebars are not "hollow", then some type of efforts will need to be made to remove or otherwise allow an adequate amount of entry depth into the ends of the handlebars (about 2-3" or so) before decorative end caps or bar-end mirrors can be used.

    f) most aftermarket grips can present a challenge to install on the right side throttle tube............it can be an extremely tight fit. The original plastic throttle tube must be re-used, and typically must be modified to accept the replacement grip (the raised nibs on the outer end of the tube will need to be shaved down flat). A coating with some type of silicone spray or a smear of dishwashing liquid soap makes a good lubricant to allow the grip to be installed more easily.

    g) although they look (and feel) very nice, be aware that any aftermarket grips that have leather inserts will tend to be extremely slippery when wet, and therefore may present possible safety issues.



    Throttle tubes:

    HCP7373 OEM right side handlebar THROTTLE TUBE ONLY, if you're going to be replacing your original grips with aftermarket ones, you'll need to either salvage your original tube (not that easy) or replace it with this new tube. Fits all XJ550 models, all XJ650 models, all XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim models, 1981 XJ750 Seca (through frame number 002949) models, and all XS1100 models. Also fits the following models: 1978-79 XS400, 1977-81 XS650 Standards, 1978-83 XS650 Specials, 1978-79 XS750 all models, 1980-81 XS850 all models, 1981-82 SR185, 1980-82 SR250, 1983 XV500, 1987-88 XV535 Virago, 1981-83 XV750 Virago (including 1983 Midnight model), and 1981-82 XV920RH/RJ models. NOTE: can be used on all other models, but other models used a tube that was approximately 1/2" (11mm) longer. Use of this shorter tube may require that the control switch be moved "outwards" on the handlebar, from its normal position, by a similar amount.

    Aftermarket Grips:

    Aftermarket grips come in a variety of different material compositions, colors, and lengths. The right side grip does not include the throttle tube (you should re-use your original tube). All grips are designed to fit bikes with 7/8" OD handlebars (all XJ models of this era use 7/8" OD handlebars). NOTE: all "Internal Depth" measurements are for the right side grip; the left side grip will be the same depth, or very similar (sometimes a bit less than the right side).

    Grips are typically not marked with a left or right designation, but the right side grip (that must be fitted over the throttle tube) has a larger inside diameter than the left side grip.



    All-Foam Comfort Grips:

    Decorative Handlebar End Caps:

    These knurled, anodized aluminum end caps insert into the hollow end of your bars and provide a decorative look to this area. It is recommended that the open end style grips from the choices above be used, or, you can modify ("cut open") the ends of your stock and most aftermarket style "closed end" grips.

    The end caps have a rubber jacket "expansion bolt" that slips into the internal hollow end of the handlebars (about 1-3/8" deep). A supplied hex tool allows you to "tighten" (expand) this internal bolt and secure the end cap tightly (no, it's not going anywhere!) to the bar end.....a simple, 2-minute installation.

    Dual-knurled external rings and a polished, domed end cap makes these a very easy way to add a little bling to your bike! You can choose from a variety of colors to match or contrast with the color scheme of your grips.

    End caps protrude out about 1" (total length) from the end of the bars, and are 28mm in diameter.


    NOTE: you should check the ends of your handlebars before ordering these caps. Although all stock XJ bars have "hollow" bar ends, some aftermarket bars do not, and over the years, many products have been offered (and many "backyard" products used) to create anti-vibrational "stiffness" to handlebars via the insertion of a semi-rigid metal tube into the handlebars. Obviously, such tubes will interfere, or not allow, the installation of the end caps if the tubes are "flush" with the end of the handlebars.

    STEERING HEAD BEARINGS:

    OEM and aftermarket steering neck or "tube" replacement bearings bring that brand-new feeling back to your bike, improving handling, braking, and steering performance that has been reduced over the year by wear and tear on the bearings and related parts. We offer both the original Ball Bearings and parts for models so equipped, as well as aftermarket Tapered Roller Bearing Kits needed to upgrade this critical area to the most modern design.

    Does your bike need new steering head bearings?:

    Is this you?:

    - "Basically, I am getting a nasty death-wobble at speed on my bike. How can I tell if the steering head bearings are bad? Head shake?"

    Here's how to check your steering head bearings:

    a) Place the bike on the centerstand, and have a helper sit on the rear of the seat to put the front wheel in the air.

    b) Crouch in front of the bike and grab both front forks toward the bottom.

    c) Try to "wiggle" the forks fore and aft; there should be no play.

    d) With the wheel still elevated, slowly turn the handlebars lock-to-lock. You should feel no binding, looseness, or "bumpity-bumping" in the bars while turning; it should be free and smooth.

    e) From a completely centered position, give the handlebars a gentle push to one side. It should fall to full lock smoothly, without binding. Return the bars to straight (centered) and repeat this test in the other direction. If there is a "detent" or looseness at the center, you probably need new bearings

    f) If your steering (forks) "lock" in the centered position, and take a good amount of pressure to get them off of the centered position, then your steering head bearings are either over-torqued, or, more likely, worn out.

    NOTE: the factory service interval for the re-packing of the steering head bearings with grease is every 10,000 miles (all XJ550, XJ650, XJ750, and XJ1100 models) and every 16,000 miles on the XJ700 and XJ900RK models. The bearings should be inspected every 2,500 - 4,000 miles for looseness, and adjusted as necessary.

    NOTE: all 1992-98 XJ600 Seca II, XJ700, XJ750-X, XJ750RL, XJ900, XJ1100, and all XS1100 models used tapered roller bearings originally; all other XJ models used ball bearings from the factory.

    NOTE2: always use a high-quality, waterproof grease when installing any style of steering neck bearings!


    Ball Bearings and Associated Parts:

    Although we do offer a full selection of original components to rebuild your stock ball-bearing style steering neck system, we highly recommend that you upgrade to the tapered roller bearing style bearing system with one of our Roller Bearings and Seals Kits listed further below.

    The only items that interchange when upgrading from the ball bearings system to tapered bearings are the MAIN CROWN BOLT or NUT, the adjuster RING NUT(S), and the UPPER RACE COVER.

    HCP4533 OEM upper steering crown MAIN BOLT, large flanged bolt that secures the upper steering crown bracket to the bearing shaft stem from the lower steering bracket.

    Tapered Roller Bearings and Associated Parts:

    Both original roller bearings (1992-98 XJ600 Seca II, XJ700, XJ750-X, 1984 XJ750RL Seca, all XJ900RK, RL, N/FN, and F models, XJ1100, and all XS1100 models) and kits to upgrade all other models to this improved style tapered bearings are offered. The aftermarket kits that we offer use only the highest quality, precision ground and assembled high-speed bearings available, and include both upper and lower dust seals.

    Tapered bearings offer a vast improvement in performance and durability as compared to stock ball bearings. Additionally, you can increase the ring nut torque value to a slightly higher (25-30 foot-pounds) as opposed to original, thus even further reducing slop and play in your steering. ALWAYS MAKE SURE THAT YOU CHECK FOR BINDING AT ALL POSITIONS, INCLUDING FULL LOCK POSITIONS, WHEN CONVERTING FROM BALL BEARINGS TO TAPERED BEARINGS!

    Here is a great video that shows the installation process for these tapered bearing sets:

Contains upper and lower tapered roller bearings, matching races, and an upper and lower dust seal. Note that, originally, no upper dust seals were used on these models, and we feel it is a worthy upgrade to install these seals! NOTE: on some models, the upper bearing race may protrude out of the steering neck tube by 3mm, but this will not affect the operation or performance of the bearings or the steering performance of the bike. By the way, the proper orientation of the dust seal is for the "cup" side of the seal to sit over the bearing face.

    BEARING TOOLS:

    NOTE: SOME OF THE FOLLOWING TOOLS ARE AVAILABLE FOR RENTAL!!: some tools are a one-time or infrequent use tool, so it may be more economical for you to rent them from us, rather than to purchase outright. Please see the “rental” section within the THE TOOLBOX section of our catalog at:

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/xj-parts-catalog-section-p-the-toolbox.44630

    and review the availability and procedures in the TOOL RENTAL section.


    A cheap and simple method for bearing removal and installation involves heating the bearing (so the ID of the race grows fractionally) while also cooling the shaft (so its OD shrinks). The combination of these two methods can make bearing work amazingly easier:

    heating:



    shrinking:



    These tricks work well for steering head bearing replacement, wheel bearing replacement, tranny gears, etc.



    Steering Bearings Tools:

    HCP1692 Aftermarket steering head tube BEARING RACE REMOVAL TOOL. This very high quality, split flared-shaft bearing race removal device grasps the edges of the bearing races at four positions and pops them out with ease. Makes a sometimes very frustrating task simple.
    $ 54.95


    HCP7863 Aftermarket steering stem ring nut and shock absorber ADJUSTER TOOL, heavy-duty chrome plated spanner "wrench" is the correct size to work with all XJ-series bike steering stem ring nuts, as well as fitting the adjuster tab on rear shock absorbers (for those models that have non-air adjustable rear shocks). Very high quality, versatile tool to have in your box.
    $ 39.95

    HCP28446 Aftermarket steering stem ring nut and shock absorber ADJUSTER SOCKET, heavy-duty aluminum seep-well spanner socket (1/2” drive) makes tightening and proper torqueing of the upper ring nut a breeze (since this is a socket, rather than a "flat wrench", you can attach it to your torque wrench). Works with all XJ-series bike steering stem ring nuts, and probably many other makes/models as well. This is similar to the Motion Pro # 08-0570 spanner nut socket, but it is deep enough to be used on XJ models (since the steering stem protrudes a much greater distance than what the MP tool is designed to be used with). Very high quality, versatile tool to have in your box. This tool is available for rental.
    $ 69.95

    HCP8041 Aftermarket steering stem Ring Nut ADJUSTER WRENCH, special tanged wrench properly grabs the castellations in the ring nuts and holds firm, preventing the rounding-off of the ring nut when trying to loosen or install them using incorrect tools (such as channel lock pliers). Adjusts to a wide range of sizes to fit most bikes. A professional grade tool.
    $ 99.95




    Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

    Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

    While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

    Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

    Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    HCP10331 Aftermarket standard-duty PENETRATING LUBRICANT, in a generous 16-ounce aerosol can. Oil-based lubricant penetrates down into spaces of one-millionth of an inch to handle the most reluctant seizures. Actually dissolves the rust and corrosion that causes the seizure; lubricates and displaces moisture to prevent rust re-formation. This product is what we use and recommend for freeing stuck fork tube cap bolts and other such challenging fasteners.
    $ 44.95

    HCP11974 Aftermarket super-duty PENETRATING LUBRICANT, in a generous 13-ounce aerosol can. Same as our standard-duty formula above, but also includes graphite to not only enhance and speed up the penetrant action, but also gets down into the pores of the metal for the greatest possible lubrication possible. The cat's-meow of penetrating fluids, can even be used to un-seize frozen engines or as an engine assembly lube! This fluid is also a great choice for use as a drive cable lubricant.
    $ 46.95

    HCP10333 Aftermarket extreme-duty PENETRATING LUBRICANT, in a generous 16-ounce aerosol can. Same as our standard-duty formula above, but also includes liquid silicone to enhance and speed up the penetrant action. This product is also an exceptional choice for use as a control-cable lubricant.
    $ 47.95



    Assembly Fluids and Lubricants:

    HCP8608 Aftermarket gear and bearing synthetic RED MOLY GREASE. High temperature, water resistant, extreme pressure and high-load strength synthetic organic moly grease is far superior to black moly disulfide (petroleum-based) products. Use on steering neck bearings, wheel bearings, starter motor gears, and swingarm bearings. 14 oz. tube.
    $ 29.95


    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    HCP20860 Aftermarket industrial-strength ASSEMBLY LUBE, in a standard 12-ounce aerosol can. Heavy-duty formula includes graphite to not only enhance and speed up the penetrant action, but also gets down into the pores of the metal for the greatest possible lubrication possible. Won't wash away, protect against rust and corrosion, stable from 0-degrees up to 250-F. This fluid is also a great choice for use as a drive cable lubricant.
    $ 41.95

    HCP20862 Aftermarket super-duty ASSEMBLY LUBE, in a generous 10-ounce aerosol can. The cat's-meow of lubricants, infused with pure moly disulfide, it goes on wet and then dries in 1-2 hours to a super-slick, high-pressure, hi-temp, bearing-like finish which provides the ultimate level of protection. Prevents rust and corrosion, won't wash off, throw off, and won't attract dust or dirt. Surfaces must be clean and dry of previous oils, etc. before application. Can even be used as an engine, tranny, and drivetrain assembly lube!
    $ 44.95

    HCP20863 Aftermarket super-duty GRAPHITE LUBE, in a generous 10-ounce aerosol can. The 800-pound gorilla of lubricants, it's infused with pure graphite, goes on wet, and then dries in 10 minutes to a super-slick, high-pressure, bearing-like finish which provides the ultimate level of protection. Prevents rust, won't wash off, throw off, and won't attract dust or dirt. Surfaces must be clean and dry of previous oils, etc. before application. Can be used as an engine assembly lube, bearing or bushing pre-lube, great for lock cylinders, and all metallic sliding surfaces. Use where dusty or dirty conditions render oil-based lubricants ineffective or undesirable.

    STEERING/SUSPENSION:

    --Front Suspension: Front suspension Overview.



    FRONT SUSPENSION:

    FORK TUBE PARTS OVERVIEW:

    Your front suspension is called on to do a lot of different tasks, sometimes all at the same time: steering and braking are the two most critical ones that come to mind. Thus the proper operation and integrity of your front forks, and all their parts and pieces, is vital to the proper operation, handling, and safety of your bike. And worn front forks are the primary reason why your front tires wear out quickly, or in an uneven pattern.

    Although your front forks are pretty simple devices....a spring, inside a fluid-filled tube, that serves to soak up road imperfections while maintaining positive-yet-smooth road feel and control....there are quite a few items that need attention and periodic replacement in order to get the proper lifetime and performance out of your system.

    We offer a variety of OEM and aftermarket products and tools needed to properly maintain and service your forks and keep them firmly planted on the road beneath you.


    NOTE: The process of rebuilding your forks seems mystical and difficult to many first-timers, mainly because all of the internal parts are normally hidden from view.....and thus the "fear of the unknown" takes over. The fork mechanisms on most of the XJ-series bikes are really pretty simple, and the entire process of removing your forks from the bike is more time-consuming and involved than the actual re-building procedure. HOWEVER, this is one procedure that we strongly recommend that you have a factory or aftermarket service manual at-the-ready, because there are certain diagrams, specifications, and various "tricks of the trade" that you'll want to know about and follow when doing fork surgery.

    Forks on these bikes generally fall into one of two categories: simple and more-difficult. The simplest forks are the ones that are not encumbered by any additional "enhancements", such as air-assistance or anti-dive features. Here's the scorecard:


    SIMPLE: XJ550 Maxim, XJ550 Seca, XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim, XJ650RJ Seca, and XJ700 non-X.

    SIMPLE-PLUS: due to the air-assist function, these forks have a few additional parts (mainly o-rings) that must be attended to, but again, these forks could just as easily fall under the "simple" category above: 1982-83 XJ650 Maxim, XJ650 Turbo, XJ700-X, XJ750-X, XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim, and XJ1100 models.

    INVOLVED: due to both their air-assist and anti-dive functions, these forks are the most difficult to work on.....mainly due to the addition of the anti-dive function, which introduces quite a few additional parts into the internal fork mechanism. You will definitely want a service manual handy while working on these forks, and pay very close attention to the order and orientation of all the small parts during dis-assembly: XJ750 Seca and XJ900RK Seca models.


    The following discussion has some very good pointers, tips, and photographs that detail the fork rebuild process on a 1981 XJ650 Maxim model (one of the "simple" fork systems), and is a good point of reference to help you decide whether the task is something that you wish to attempt yourself or leave to a qualified shop:

    http://www.xjbikes.com/forums/threads/fork-seals-85-xj700n-picture-heavy.78389/


    A slightly more complicated type of forking system can be found on the XJ750 Seca and XJ900RK models, due to the use of the anti-dive system. An XJ750 Seca fork system goes under the knife, here:

This first one shows the XJ900 (with the anti-dive system) while the second link shows the guts on the later XJ900 models (without the anti-dive system). Note that these images can also be used as a guide for any model front forking system that use the lower bushing on the chrome fork tubes:

    While many people may simply need to replace the OIL SEAL, SEAL CLIP, AND DUST BOOT (sometimes called a DUST WIPER"), we also recommend that whenever you have your forks apart, that you also replace the upper CAP BOLT CIRCLIP or SNAP RING, the cap bolt O-RING or GASKET, the fork oil drain screw GASKET, the damper rod retaining bolt SEAL, and, on air-fork-equipped models, the AIR VALVE O-RINGS.


    Replacing these items now, while the forks are apart, can help prevent leaks and problems from developing down the road.

    On high-mileage bikes, you should also replace the metal slider bushings, taper spindles, and other items.


    Almost all forks usually require the use of a DAMPER ROD RETAINING TOOL to hold the damper rod in place while the lower damper rod retaining screw (in the bottom of the lower fork tube) is being loosened or tighten; otherwise, the damper rod will spin and freely and make removal and installation difficult if not impossible.

    While the basic servicing and rebuilding of your forks is not a specialized skill, it can be somewhat confusing and daunting to people who have never performed such a task before. Since the procedures vary (sometimes greatly) between the different model bikes, we can give no real instructions or recommendations besides this: refer to your factory or aftermarket service manual for the proper procedures and techniques, and if you don't already have such a manual, please purchase one!

    And here’s a couple of other good tips for exceptional fork rebuilding success and performance:

    http://www.motorcycleproject.com/text/stiction_tuning.html

    and:

    http://www.motorcycleproject.com/text/shucking.html


    The general layout of your forks (some models have more or less pieces than others), from the very top of the UPPER (also called the inner or chrome) TUBE moving downwards, is as follows. Note that the items underlined are the ones that we strongly recommend replacing during a fork rebuild procedure.

    - Top Cap (rubber or plastic)
    - Snap Ring, sometimes called a Stopper Ring
    - Cap Bolt
    - O-Ring for cap bolt
    - Spacer (if used)
    - Upper Spring Seat (if used)
    - Fork Spring
    - Damper Rod, with a plastic piston ring in the head
    - Damper Rod Rebound Spring
    - Oil Lock Valve Assembly (XJ750 Seca)

    The following items may need replacing on high-mileage or neglected (dirty oil) bikes, as these items wear quickly if the fork oil was not refreshed regularly and thus was allowed to accumulate grit and abrasive particles:

    - Taper Spindle
    - Metal Slide Bushing #2, a split-ring bushing on the bottom of the chrome tube, not used on all models.


    Air-assisted front forks (1982-3 XJ650 Maxim and Turbo, all XJ750, XJ900RK, and XJ1100 models) also included some or all of the following parts. Note that the items underlined are the ones that we strongly recommend replacing during a fork rebuild procedure.

    - Schrader Valve(s) and their protective screw-on Caps.
    - O-Rings for the schrader valve(s)
    - Air joints (used on XJ650 Turbo, 1982 XJ750 Maxim, XJ900RK, and XJ1100).
    - Cushion Gasket for air joint
    - O-Rings internal to the air joints.
    - Air Hose that connects the air joints.
    - O-Rings for the end fittings of the air joint connecting hose.
    - Stopper Ring on models using air joints.


    Additionally, all XJ650 and XJ750 Midnight Maxim models, and XJ1100 models, had upper tube covers, their related guides and associated gaskets.


    The LOWER (outer) FORK TUBE is populated as follows. Note that the items underlined are the ones that we strongly recommend replacing during a fork rebuild or seal replacement procedure.

    - Dust boot
    - Oil Seal Clip
    - Oil seal Washer (XJ750 Seca, XJ900)
    - Oil Seal
    - Oil seal Spacer (XJ750 Seca, XJ1100)
    - Fluid drain plug and gasket
    - Damper rod retaining bolt and gasket
    - Fork Oil


    The following item may need replacing on high-mileage or poorly-maintained bikes:

    - Metal Slide Bushing #1, a split-ring metal bushing near the top of the lower tube, just below the oil seal.




    Finally, as part of any fork system service you should take the time to check the fork tube alignment.....an often over-looked part of fork system maintenance:

    FORK TUBE ALIGNMENT CHECKING:

    One feature of front fork systems that is typically overlooked is assuring that the two fork tubes are properly aligned with each other........that they are precisely spaced apart from each other, and also exactly aligned with each other in their "rake angles", and not "twisted" in relation to each other. Hitting large objects or deep holes with the front wheel, dropping the bike, slight bending or fatigue of the steering crown or lower bracket, or any other sort of injuries can result in fork tubes that are not perfectly in synch with each other, and that can cause both annoying and dangerous steering, handling, and braking problems.

    Therefore it will be worth your while to check your fork tube alignment periodically, especially after you've had them out for a rebuild.......this will be the most time-efficient opportunity you'll have for this procedure, since it requires removal of the front wheel, headlight, and other assorted front-end components.

    Although the following step-by-step guide was written for BMW owners, the same techniques and guidelines will apply on your bike:

    http://w6rec.com/duane/bmw/fork/title.html


    If you choose not to go through the above process, you can perform the following "poor-man's" fork alignment techniques as described in the following sections:

    and a good video:




    Listed in the following sections you will find our complete list of fork tube rebuild and service parts, arranged BY BIKE MODEL. The description of what each individual fork component part is, and its characteristics, is first review immediately below, and then the list of items by model follows.




    UPPER (INNER) FORK TUBES AND PARTS:

    Chrome Inner Fork Tubes:

    ift3) Reproduction UPPER (INNER) (chrome) FORK TUBE, exactly replaces bent or rusted and pitted original tubes. Beautiful hard-chrome plating will last as long as original.

    All fork tubes are precision made from centerless ground, cold-rolled steel tubing, and are then machined to proper tolerances and specifications as original. All inner tubes will fit either the left or right side. Stock length tubes are listed below. Shorter or longer length tubes are available by special order, but are non-returnable or refundable, and must be inquired about directly with us specifying the length desired.


    NOTE: Used upper (inner) chrome fork tubes should always be checked for straightness using V-blocks and a run-out gauge (a local machine shop should be able to do this for your inexpensively), or using a professional quality straight-edge, or roll the tubes along a known flat surface such as a 30" x 12" wide piece of 1/4" thick plate glass (you can buy a cheap piece of scrap plate glass at Home Depot, etc.). Regardless of what anyone tells you, do NOT attempt to straighten bent tubes; they must be replaced!


    Also, you should carefully inspect these chrome tubes for RUSTING or PITS in the area where the fork tube slides through the lower fork tube seal area. If there is only very minor surface rusting in this area, it may be possible to polish it out; however, if the rust has pitted or eaten into or below the surface of the metal, then you will need replace the tubes, as pitting in this area will very quickly chew up any new oil seals, and you'll have leaking seals again in no time! A good image of the type of damage that you need to check for can be seen (one the 2nd page) over at:

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/42966



    Inner Tube Gaiter Boots:

    Although not originally used on any XJ-series bikes, these accordion-pleated thick rubber boots fit into the area between the bottom of the steering underbracket and the top of the lower (outer) fork boots, covering and protecting this area from damage, while providing an "old-school" or cafe-racer type look. They are retained to the chrome tube itself (at their top end) via spring clips, and to the top of the lower fork tube via metal screw-clamps.

    For a great visual of how these boots appear when installed properly, see the images at:

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/16019



    Inner Tube Top Cover/Cap:

    The very top part of your fork tube is rubber or plastic cap, that serves to seal the chrome inner tube from dirt and moisture, as well as providing a decorative look.



    Inner Fork Tube Cap Bolt Circlip, Snap Ring, or Stopper Ring:

    These rings, located at the very top of the chrome legs, underneath the top Cap/Cover, are what hold all the rest of the internal goodies in. They are usually pretty corroded after years of inattention, and it is recommended that they be replaced during any fork renewal process. Be careful when removing these items, they are under spring pressure!



    Inner Fork Tube Cap Bolts and Related:

    This is the rather solid upper "plug" that retains the innards of the fork tube (the spring sits just below it). Some models may incorporate an o-ring onto this cap bolt; other use a gasket below it. Although these cap "bolts" normally don't wear out, their corresponding o-rings or gaskets should always be replaced. Some models with air-adjustable forks have the air valve threaded into this cap bolt, and the o-ring around that air valve should also be replaced during a fork service or rebuild. Always use a liberal coating of pure silicone grease (HCP1714, HCP28407, or HCP20861) when installed these o-rings onto their cap bolts.


    Cap bolts that are retained via a circlip (all XJ550 models, all XJ650 models (except Turbo), and the XJ750 Seca models) should have the circlip replaced. All other models use a threaded cap bolt that screws into the top of the fork tube, and these threads inside the fork tube should be inspected carefully and cleaned up if signs of deterioration or rust, etc. are noted.


    HINT #1: the area where the CAP BOLT seals (at the top of the inner fork tubes) is very susceptible to rust from water accumulation and migration into this area. Rust and pitting in this area will not allow the upper cap bolt o-ring or gasket to seal properly.....a real problem! BE SURE TO INSPECT THIS AREA THOROUGHLY WHEN YOUR TUBES ARE APART. For proper oil and air sealing abilities (on those models equipped with air-assisted forks), you want this area to be as perfectly smooth as is possible.

    If there is only surface rust, you can polish it away on fork tubes that use non-threaded cap bolts (all XJ550 models, all XJ650 models (except Turbo), and the XJ750 Seca models) using either bristle-wire brush HCP10222 or HCP10223, or our HCP9955 cylinder hone, chucked into a drill, and then follow-up with some 600- and 800-grit FINISHING PAPERS (these items are listed further below in the FORK TOOLS section).

    Models using threaded fork cap bolts (XJ650 Turbo, all XJ700 models, all XJ750 models, XJ900RK, and XJ1100 models), should use the butterfly brush HCP10223, chucked into a drill,on the threaded portions and finishing paper on the smooth area above the threads.

    If there are DEEP PITS in this area on the non-threaded style fork tubes, you can try polishing them out using the above method; however, if they have eaten into or below the surface of the metal, then you will either need to "rebuild" the surface (using JB Weld or some type of gel Super Glue formula to fill in the depression, and then sanding and/or honing any "high spots" back down to level).


    It's always a good idea to use a strong smear of pure silicone grease (HCP1714, HCP28407, or HCP20861) on the top edge of the cap bolts after they are installed; this will help to seal that area as much as possible from water migration into the fork tubes and contaminating the fork oil.


    HINT #2: the surfaces where the DAMPER ROD PISTON RING seals (along the entire inner diameter of the inner fork tubes, below the top cap bolt) is also prone to rust from water absorption and accumulation in the fork oil (another great reason to change the fork oil regularly!). Rust and pitting in this area will not allow the damper rod upper plastic piston ring to seal properly.....another real problem! BE SURE TO INSPECT THIS AREA THOROUGHLY WHEN YOUR TUBES ARE APART (a strong flashlight and good eyes are needed, as it will be a "looking down the barrel of a rifle" type of view). For proper oil management abilities and thus fork function, you want this area to be as perfectly smooth as is possible.

    If there is only minor surface rust, you might be able to polish it away using our HCP9255 cylinder hone with the 400-grit stones (listed further below in the FORK TOOLS section) attached to a long extension.

    If there are PITS in this area, there is no real cure for them, and the fork tube should be replaced.



    Inner Tube Fork Springs:

    Top-quality aftermarket progressively wound FRONT FORK COIL SPRINGS don't just "restore" the performance to your front forks, they actually improve it over the original equipment. Spring and suspension technology has come a long way in the 30 years since the XJ model bikes were designed and built, and our line of performance front coil springs will not only get rid of the sags and "mush" in your front end, but will give your bike a crisper, more controllable and predictable ride and handling quality due to their superior design, engineering, and manufacturing.

    Original coil springs are what are known as "dual rate springs"........they have one fixed spring rate until a certain level of compression is reached, and then a firmer, stiffer rate (stronger resistance to compression) takes over (soft, soft, soft, soft, boom! stiff, stiff, stiff.......).

    Replacement springs are what are known as a "progressive rate springs".........meaning that as the load on them increases, they get progressively firmer (softest, softest, soft, less soft, firm, firmer, firmer, really firm), rather than the "all or nothing" transition that takes places with the stock springs. Progressive rate springs tends to give both a smoother, less harsh ride, as well as increasing the performance of the front suspension during enthusiastic driving and the suspension action that it creates.


    One pair of front springs does both front forks. Please note that some models will require the use, re-use, modification of the original, or the fabrication of the front spring spacers (and some models do not require the use of spacers at all).

    NOTE: the more tightly coiled area of your fork springs (whether original or aftermarket) should be towards the TOP of the fork tube.



    Inner Fork Tube Spring Spacers, Rebound Springs, and Spring Seats:

    Used along with the coils springs, these various pieces allow for the proper pre-load and spring placement within the upper fork tube. Note that not all models used spring spacers.



    Inner Tube Metal Slider Bushings:

    These split-ring bushings fit over into a recess at the bottom of the inner chrome tube, and along with the lower tube slider bushing, serves as a both a tube guide and absorbs the majority of the side loading of the inner tube as it passes through the lower tube. If the fork oil hasn't been changed regularly, grit and moisture in the oil eventually wear down these slides, and thus require their replacement.



    Inner Fork Tube Damper Rod:

    Called a "compression cylinder" in Yamaha-engineering-speak, this precisely machined tube manages the oil flow within the fork system via oil bleed holes and passages. The top "head" of this damper rod rides within a flanged area of the upper (inner) fork tube and is also the lower spring seat for the coil spring, while the bottom of this rod is internally-threaded and bolted to the bottom end of the lower (outer) fork tube----and thus this rod is what actually makes the mechanical connection and physically "joins together" the upper and lower fork tubes.

    HINT: check your the damper rod for straightness using a run-out gauge or a straightedge (or the edge of a machine-cut piece of flat glass).

    The damper rod head has a plastic split-ring "piston ring" that should be inspected and replaced during a fork rebuild.



    Inner Fork Tube Taper Spindle:

    This oddly-named part is actually a tapered metal bushing that surrounds the lower shaft of the damper rod. If your taper spindle shows signs of wear (flat spots, gouges, scoring, etc.) then it should be replaced.



    Inner Fork Tube Air System Parts:

    Air Joint O-Rings:

    These rubber o-rings provide and air-tight seal among the various component pieces used in air-assisted fork systems. These seals and o-rings should always be replaced during a fork rebuild procedure. And always use a generous coating of pure silicone grease (HCP1714, HCP28407, or HCP20861) when installed these o-rings onto their cap bolts.



    Air Inflation Valves and O-Rings:

    NOTE: the top caps that are used on all of the air valves listed below are NOT the same as those used on tire valves, as the ones used on the fork air valves are much shorter.



    Inner Fork Tube Retaining Hardware:

    Your chrome fork tubes (properly called the "inner" fork tubes) are held to your bike via the upper and lower steering brackets. The upper bracket is called the "crown bracket" and your handlebars bolt to this bracket, while the lower bracket is called, quite logically, the under-bracket. The under-bracket has the large diameter stem that goes up through the steering neck tube (that is part of the frame), and within that tube are the steering Neck (or "Head") Bearings. This stem is then bolted to the crown bracket after it has emerged from the top side of the frame steering neck tube.

    The inner fork tubes are located in round bores on both sides of the upper crown bracket and the lower under-bracket. These bore are "split" and via proper tightening of the special Cinch Bolts, the proper tension is applied to firmly locate the fork tubes to the rest of the bike.

    HINTS:

    a) there may be oxidation on the triple tree clamps so it might be necessary to clean the inner diameter of these upper and lower bracket clamp bores using a rotary tool with a brass wire brush wheel.

    b) do NOT grease or lubricate the inner diameter of these upper and lower bracket clamp bores or put any anti-seize or other protective coatings inside these clamps, as such products will impair the effectiveness of their grip.



    Crown Bracket Inner Fork Tube Retaining Hardware:

    For the upper (crown) bracket, the various cinch bolts, washer, and nuts that retain the fork tube to this bracket.



    Under-bracket Inner Fork Tube Retaining Hardware:

    For the lower (under) bracket, the various cinch bolts, washer, and nuts that retain the fork tube to this bracket.



    LOWER (OUTER) FORK TUBE PARTS:

    Dust Wiper Seals:

    ft1) OEM and aftermarket lower fork tube Dust Wiper Seals will stop grit and moisture from entering the lower tube cavity and chewing up the oil seals. These dust wiper seals are the things you see at the very top of the lower fork tube.



    Oil Seals:

    ft1) OEM and aftermarket lower fork tube Oil Seals will stop those leaks and restore the performance to your front suspension and braking system. We offer three different grades of seals to satisfy everyone's needs:

    a) OEM original equipment double-lip rubber seals provide the same quality and life expectancy as the originals. Although these are not the least expensive seals, no one ever went wrong with using original manufacturer products. Oil seals come with the internal tension spring when they were originally equipped as such.

    NOTE: all oil seals install with the sharp, tapered "point" of the oil seal internal wiper lips pointing "down", so that these lips can wipe the oil from the chrome tube as it exits the lower tube.

    b) Standard grade aftermarket double-lip BLACK OIL SEALS are the same or better quality than the OEM seals, but normally at a better price.

    c) Premium grade aftermarket seals are a significant development in fork seal technology and feature a specially designed lip and spring tensions that result in a much lower sliding friction between the seal and the fork tube. Lower friction prevents un-wanted fork movement resistance from occurring, for instance, when initially entering a corner, or braking. Ideally, you want the inner forks to move smoothly and without any "choppiness" past the lower tube seal, rather than a "starting and stopping" motion due to tube-to-seal "stiction". These seals deliver the lowest possible friction coefficient of any of our seals, and are well worth the extra cost!


    HINT: the areas in the lower fork tube where the OIL SEAL and the SLIDER BUSHING are located (at the top of the lower fork tubes) should be inspected carefully after dis-assembly and seal/bushing removal for any nicks, gouges, or imperfections. For proper oil seal slider bushing seating and fitment, you want this area to be as perfectly smooth as is possible.

    It is recommended that you polish these areas using some 200-, 400-, 600-, and 800-grit FINISHING PAPERS.


    ALSO---it's never a bad idea to use some of the 100% Silicone Grease as an "assembly lube" when installing any of these oil seals:

    HCP28407 Aftermarket o-ring, oil seal, and gasket installation pure SILICONE GREASE. This small 5-gram (1/6-oz) snap-open "pillow packet" is enough for a few small oil seals, dozens of o-rings, and the like. Each:
    $ 4.95

    HCP1714 Aftermarket o-ring, oil seal, and gasket installation pure SILICONE GREASE. This generous 14-gram (1/2-oz.) tub goes a long way, because just like Brylcreem, "just a little dab will do ya'!" Each:
    $ 9.95



    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    HCP20861 Aftermarket industrial-strength SILICONE LUBE, in a large 16-ounce aerosol can. Concentrated silicone sprays on wet, and then dries to a super-slick, clear, non-greasy, non-staining finish. Resists moisture, stops squeeks, prevents binding on all types of surfaces (wood, metal, plastic, rubber, even fabrics). Won't wash away, protect against rust and corrosion, stable from -100 degrees up to 500-F. This fluid is also a great choice for use as installation lubricant for o-rings, oil seals, etc. (similar to our HCP1714 or HCP28407 silicone grease paste) or wherever petroleum-based lubricants are not recommended.
    $ 44.95



    c) If needed, in addition to all of the above, you can gently heat (heat gun or even a 1500W hair dryer) the area of the fork tube where the seal fits.....this will expand that area a tiny bit, enough to make seal install a bit easier.

    d) make sure you drive the seal in with a proper seal driver, or one that is fabricated correctly to push ONLY on the seal.....a proper sized OD flat washer can be a big help in this regard. The seal needs to be driven fully in place so that it "bottoms out" against the flat ledge in the fork tube......otherwise, it will be extremely difficult (if not impossible) to re-install the seal retaining clips.

    Although fork seals can be installed without removing the inner chrome fork tube from the lower tubes, the proper procedure is to dis-assemble the forks completely, removing the inner tube from the lower tube. Trying to remove the oil seal from the lower tube while the inner tube is still installed risks damaging the lower tube, since it is very difficult to remove the old oil seals from the lower tube while the chrome upper tube is still in place.

    Here is a good video on the entire process:





    Oil Seal Retaining Clips:

    These C-shaped metal clips retain the lower tube Oil Seals and should be replaced along with the oil seals.



    Lower Tube Metal Slider Bushings:

    These split-ring bushings press into the lower tube, below the oil seal, and serves as a both a tube guide and absorbs the majority of the side loading of the inner tube as it passes through the lower tube. If the fork oil hasn't been changed regularly, grit and moisture in the oil eventually wear down these slides, which have a teflon-like coating on their inner bearing surface to eliminate resistance.



    Lower Fork Tube Oil Drain Screw and Gasket:

    These small phillips-head screws, near the bottom of the lower tubes, allows you to drain the tubes prior to doing an oil change, or before tube removal and dis-assembly for seal replacement or other service work. The gasket that goes behind this screw should always be replaced in order to prevent oil leaks.

    HINT: this gasket has a very small, very fine recessed area around its inner diameter on one side only..........and that side fits against the bottom of the drain screw. The perfectly flat side of the gasket goes against the fork tube drain port opening. We suggest that all pressure be taken off of the front forks (put the bike on its centerstand, and lift the front wheels off the ground) before you open the drain screw); otherwise, pressurized oil can squirt out at a significant rate and force!



    Lower Fork Tube Damper Rod Retaining Bolt and Gasket:

    These large socket-head cap screws, on the very bottom of the lower tubes, retains the inner tube damper rods to the lower tubes, and must be removed before the chrome inner tube can be separated from the lower tube for dis-assembly for seal replacement or other service work.

    This screw is held in tight!----but it must be removed in order to take the fork upper and lower tubes apart in order to replace the lower tube seals, or any other internal parts.

    The gasket that goes under this bolt should always be replaced in order to prevent oil leaks. These bolts, when re-installed, should be treated with a low-strength thread-locking compound.


    The HCP4402 Damper Rod Retaining Tool, listed further below in the "Fork Tools" section of parts, is needed on some models to hold the damper rod itself (to prevent it from spinning freely) while this damper rod retaining screw is loosened and removed.



    Lower Fork Tube Axle Retaining Hardware:

    A variety of fasteners were used to cinch the front axle shaft to the lower fork tubes. Note that models with the front axle in a leading position to the fork tubes only used one retaining bolt (on the right side lower fork tube), while models with the front axle along the lower fork tube centerline (BELOW the fork tubes) used two retaining bolts (one on each lower fork tube).

    Inner Tube Gaiter Boots:

    Although not originally used on any XJ-series bikes, these accordion-pleated thick rubber boots fit into the area between the bottom of the steering underbracket and the top of the lower (outer) fork boots, covering and protecting this area from damage, while providing an "old-school" or cafe-racer type look. They are retained to the chrome tube itself (at their top end) via spring clips, and to the top of the lower fork tube via metal screw-clamps.

    HCP11420 Aftermarket fork tube gaiter boot LOWER RETAINING SPRING-CLAMP. Black powdercoated wire-spring type clamp has that old-time look and feel to it. Secure the lower end of the gaiter boot to the top of the lower (outer) fork tube. Fits all XJ-series models. Use 1 per tube, each:
    $ 14.95


    NOTE: gaiter boots normally do not require any type of retainer at their upper end, as the tight friction fit between the boot opening and the chrome tube prevents migration of the boot. If movement seems to occur, then we recommend the use of thin, black electrical wire ties to cinch the boot flange tightly to the tube.

    Inner Tube Fork Springs:

    HCP9434 Aftermarket front suspension COIL SPRINGS, one pair does both forks. For all XJ550 Seca models. Front spring spacers are not required with these springs. NOTE: due to the difference in size of this spring versus stock springs, you will need to use approximately 4 cc's more fork oil (for a total of 234cc's per tube) when installing these springs. NOTE: springs should be installed with the tighter (more-closely spaced together) coils towards the top of the fork tube.
    $ 139.95


    HCP9433 Aftermarket front suspension COIL SPRINGS, one pair does both forks. For all XJ550 Maxim models. Front spring spacers are not included with these springs, and you will need the installation of an HCP8239 spring seat (one for each spring) and the fabrication of a 31.50mm long spacer when replacing stock springs. You can use the HCP8284 spring spacer tube (stock for 1982-83 XJ650 Maxim models) and cut it down to the proper length; one tube will provide enough material to do both springs and fork tubes…..or you can order the HCP21018 spacers tubes which are already cut to the correct length. NOTE: due to the difference in size of this spring versus stock springs, you will need to use approximately 13 cc's more fork oil (for a total of 285cc's per tube) when installing these springs and using the stock thin-wall metal spacer tubes as recommended above. The use of other type of spacers (thick-wall PVC pipe, for instance) will change this recommended fork oil volume by an unknown amount. NOTE: springs should be installed with the tighter (more-closely spaced together) coils towards the top of the fork tube.

    Oil Seals:

    NOTE: when installing oil seals, make sure that the area where the seal will fit into is clean, free of any nicks and burrs, and that the lower tube metal slide bushing is fully seated. Oil seals install with the large opening facing down, into the tube, and on most seals, the small cast lettering and numbering on the seal faces upwards.

    Seals are designed to be installed with a seal driver of some type, although a properly sized piece of hard plastic tubing, perhaps with a proper sized metal washer on top of the seal to "spread the load", works as well. Always make sure that oil seals are fully seated and not damaged or installed in a crooked or cocked manner.

    Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

    Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

    While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

    Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

    Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    ft4) These stainless-steel, bristle-wire DE-BURRING BRUSHES will work wonders on the upper cap bolt area on both the threaded and the non-threaded style of fork tubes. Tubes that use threaded cap bolt (all XJ650 Turbo, all XJ700 models, XJ750-X models, XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim, XJ900RK, and XJ1100 models) should use the HCP10223 butterfly brush; non-threaded tubes can use either the HCP10222 spiral brush or the HCP10223 butterfly brush. Both style brushes have stems that are designed to be used in a standard power drill, and should be used at 850 rpm's or less. These brushes will make quick and meaningful work of the cleaning and polishing of this critical area on your upper fork tubes.

    FORK OIL:

    Unlike motor oil or gear oil, fork oil's major purpose is not lubrication.....rather, it acts as part of the suspension system, providing both damping and rebound control functions. The different "weight" or viscosity of fork oils allows you to modify the ride and handling characteristics of your bike in a fairly simple way.

    And yes, it IS a lubricant also!

    Although many people----including, unbelievably, Yamaha itself----recommends the use of engine motor oil as a substitute for fork oil, this is not a very good idea. Engine oils (or any multi-viscosity oil) uses additives and detergents that, while wonderful in for their intended purposes inside an engine block, tranny case, or rear drive unit, are not such a good idea inside forks. Forks operate at a much lower temperature and temperature RANGE than engine and drivetrains do, and thus do not need all those additives. And fork oil also tends to contain higher percentages of molybdenum disulfide and anti-foaming agents than engine or gear oil, both of which are very important to proper fork operation.

    As a small example.......most motor oils are of a multi-viscosity nature (such as 10W30) which change their viscosity in relation to their temperature (thin when cool, thicker as they warm). A very necessary and useful feature for an engine, where you do not want your oil thinning out as the engine warms up. Not such a good idea for your suspension----unless for some reason you WANT your handling characteristics to change (get stiffer) as the forks heat up!


    Proper fork oil levels and scheduled change intervals are important for fork performance and fork part longevity.....water contamination, as well as particulate wear will accumulate in fork oil, and since there is no oil filtering mechanism within your forks, the only way to get the grit and gunk out (before it chews up your oil seals and slider bearings!) is to change your fork fluid regularly. Yamaha recommends a fork fluid change every 10,000 miles or 24 months (all models except XJ700's), or every 16,000 miles or 24 months (all XJ700 and XJ750-X models). If you just bought a used bike, we recommend you do a fluid change as soon as possible, because just like other routine maintenance tasks (besides engine oil changes), this is one that has very likely been ignored for the last 10-12 years!

    HINT: there’s a puddle of fluid under your wheel, in the area of the brake caliper. Unless the source of the leak is fully obvious, how can you tell if it’s brake fluid of fork oil? Try to mix a few drops of water into the fluid; fork oil (or engine/gear oil) won’t mix and the water will “ball up”; brake fluid will integrate with water and absorb the water.


    Fork oil capacities and recommended weights are as follows. The amounts listed are per fork tube:


    XJ550 Maxim: 272cc or 9.20 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    XJ550 Seca: 230cc or 7.78 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1980-81 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 262cc or 8.86 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982-84 XJ650 Maxim: 278cc or 9.40 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ650RJ Seca: 236cc or 7.98 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 400mm (15.75") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982 XJ650LJ Turbo: 238cc or 8.04 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 180mm (7.09") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ650LK Turbo: unknown.

    1985-86 XJ700 non-X: 383cc or 12.96 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1985-86 XJ700-X: 389cc or 13.16 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ750 Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. NOTE: owner's manual states that the fork oil capacity is 278cc (9.40 fluid ounces). It is unknown which measurement is correct.

    1981-83 XJ750 Seca: 309cc or 10.45 fluid ounces. 20W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 E-II Seca or 1984 XJ750RL Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 168mm (6.61") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ900RK Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 164mm (6.46") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982-84 XJ1100 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 210cc or 7.10 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 210mm (8.27") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: the above fork oil VOLUMES are for use only when using the stock fork springs. The use of aftermarket performance front fork coil springs will change those volumes, since aftermarket springs are thicker than stock----and thus displace more oil. Using the stock oil fluid VOLUME with aftermarket fork springs is a sure way to OVERFILL your forks, with the very real possibility of blowing out fork seals.


    Unlike with your engine oil, where a bit too much or too little oil volume in the crankcase is not really a significant concern, with fork oil, too much or too little can cause real problems (too much oil can result in blown oil seals and a stiff, harsh ride, while too little oil volume results in excessive foaming, a soft mushy ride with possible bottoming, and erratic fork performance and lots of front end "dive" upon braking).

    A better way to determine the amount of fork oil that is needed and necessary is via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL within the tubes.....sort of like measuring the oil level with a dipstick. Yamaha does not specify this level for all models; and in any case, if using aftermarket springs, the factory oil level recommendation is not always useful. The maximum oil level should be 5-1/2" (140mm) below the top of the inner fork tube, measured with all internal fork tube components installed EXCEPT FOR THE SPRINGS, and with the inner fork tube fully collapsed into the lower (outer) tube.

    In order to be as accurate as possible, we recommend the use of a suitable measuring device, such as the HCP1728 oil level syringe listed further below.

    And finally, the fork oil viscosity can be changed from the factory recommendations to give a softer or firmer ride.......the lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil, and the softer the ride (i.e. 5W oil is thinner than 10W which is thinner than 20W, etc.) In this regard, you would certainly be correct in thinking of fork oil as a suspension "tuning tool"! Note that a thicker oil viscosity will have much more effect on the fork "rebound" characteristics than it will on the fork compression dampening function.

    A great primer on "tuning" your forks via adjusting the oil levels can be seen at:

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    ffo3) Red Line Oil products line of SYNTHETIC FORK OILS are some of the best, highest-performance fork oils developed specifically for this purpose. They provide exceptional shear lubrication, are highly resistant to any viscosity changes, and provide excellent seal lubrication as well as very high anti-foaming properties. All of these oils are completely compatible with each other, which means that different weights can safely be mixed with each other to create "custom-weights" of fork oil for the utmost in suspension tuning flexibility. NOTE: oils, if mixed for a different viscosity, should be done in a large enough batch to provide enough oil for both front forks. You do NOT want to be running different oil viscosity's in the left and right fork tubes!

    Also, do not mix different brands, styles, or types of oils........you can only safely mix forks oils together from one manufacturer!

    Fork Tube Oil Level Gauges:

    HCP1728 Fork tube oil fluid level measurement GAUGE AND SYRINGE. This handy tool makes the measurement of the fork oil level easy and accurate. NOTE: the proper amount of fork oil is determined via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL (distance below the very top of the inner tube) rather than a volume AMOUNT of oil specification. Too little oil will make the ride mushy, while too much oil makes the ride harsh (and can blow out the oil seals!)
    $ 37.95



    ffl4) Aftermarket fork oil measurement GRADUATED CYLINDERS. The best way to measure the precise amount of fork oil fluid is via the use of these lab-quality measurement cylinders. Available in either transparent (clear) or translucent (cloudy) durable plastic construction, they all have easy-to-read scale numerals (milliliters) and feature a "non-wetting" inner surface coating that prevents the concave "meniscus" from forming at the top of the fluid, thus insuring a much more accurate level reading. Large bases insure stability while large spouts make "the pour" easy and prevent messy drips. Very useful device to have for front fork oil changes.

    Oil Seals:

    NOTE: when installing oil seals, make sure that the area where the seal will fit into is clean, free of any nicks and burrs, and that the lower tube metal slide bushing is fully seated. Oil seals install with the large opening facing down, into the tube, and on most seals, the small cast lettering and numbering on the seal faces upwards.

    Seals are designed to be installed with a seal driver of some type, although a properly sized piece of hard plastic tubing, perhaps with a proper sized metal washer on top of the seal to "spread the load", works as well. Always make sure that oil seals are fully seated and not damaged or installed in a crooked or cocked manner.

    Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

    Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

    While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

    Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

    Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    HCP10331 Aftermarket standard-duty PENETRATING LUBRICANT, in a generous 16-ounce aerosol can. Oil-based lubricant penetrates down into spaces of one-millionth of an inch to handle the most reluctant seizures. Actually dissolves the rust and corrosion that causes the seizure; lubricates and displaces moisture to prevent rust re-formation. This product is what we use and recommend for freeing stuck fork tube cap bolts and other such challenging fasteners.

    FORK OIL:

    Unlike motor oil or gear oil, fork oil's major purpose is not lubrication.....rather, it acts as part of the suspension system, providing both damping and rebound control functions. The different "weight" or viscosity of fork oils allows you to modify the ride and handling characteristics of your bike in a fairly simple way.

    And yes, it IS a lubricant also!

    Although many people----including, unbelievably, Yamaha itself----recommends the use of engine motor oil as a substitute for fork oil, this is not a very good idea. Engine oils (or any multi-viscosity oil) uses additives and detergents that, while wonderful in for their intended purposes inside an engine block, tranny case, or rear drive unit, are not such a good idea inside forks. Forks operate at a much lower temperature and temperature RANGE than engine and drivetrains do, and thus do not need all those additives. And fork oil also tends to contain higher percentages of molybdenum disulfide and anti-foaming agents than engine or gear oil, both of which are very important to proper fork operation.

    As a small example.......most motor oils are of a multi-viscosity nature (such as 10W30) which change their viscosity in relation to their temperature (thin when cool, thicker as they warm). A very necessary and useful feature for an engine, where you do not want your oil thinning out as the engine warms up. Not such a good idea for your suspension----unless for some reason you WANT your handling characteristics to change (get stiffer) as the forks heat up!


    Proper fork oil levels and scheduled change intervals are important for fork performance and fork part longevity.....water contamination, as well as particulate wear will accumulate in fork oil, and since there is no oil filtering mechanism within your forks, the only way to get the grit and gunk out (before it chews up your oil seals and slider bearings!) is to change your fork fluid regularly. Yamaha recommends a fork fluid change every 10,000 miles or 24 months (all models except XJ700's), or every 16,000 miles or 24 months (all XJ700 and XJ750-X models). If you just bought a used bike, we recommend you do a fluid change as soon as possible, because just like other routine maintenance tasks (besides engine oil changes), this is one that has very likely been ignored for the last 10-12 years!

    HINT: there’s a puddle of fluid under your wheel, in the area of the brake caliper. Unless the source of the leak is fully obvious, how can you tell if it’s brake fluid of fork oil? Try to mix a few drops of water into the fluid; fork oil (or engine/gear oil) won’t mix and the water will “ball up”; brake fluid will integrate with water and absorb the water.


    Fork oil capacities and recommended weights are as follows. The amounts listed are per fork tube:


    XJ550 Maxim: 272cc or 9.20 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    XJ550 Seca: 230cc or 7.78 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1980-81 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 262cc or 8.86 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982-84 XJ650 Maxim: 278cc or 9.40 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ650RJ Seca: 236cc or 7.98 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 400mm (15.75") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982 XJ650LJ Turbo: 238cc or 8.04 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 180mm (7.09") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ650LK Turbo: unknown.

    1985-86 XJ700 non-X: 383cc or 12.96 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1985-86 XJ700-X: 389cc or 13.16 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ750 Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. NOTE: owner's manual states that the fork oil capacity is 278cc (9.40 fluid ounces). It is unknown which measurement is correct.

    1981-83 XJ750 Seca: 309cc or 10.45 fluid ounces. 20W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 E-II Seca or 1984 XJ750RL Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 168mm (6.61") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ900RK Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 164mm (6.46") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982-84 XJ1100 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 210cc or 7.10 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 210mm (8.27") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: the above fork oil VOLUMES are for use only when using the stock fork springs. The use of aftermarket performance front fork coil springs will change those volumes, since aftermarket springs are thicker than stock----and thus displace more oil. Using the stock oil fluid VOLUME with aftermarket fork springs is a sure way to OVERFILL your forks, with the very real possibility of blowing out fork seals.


    Unlike with your engine oil, where a bit too much or too little oil volume in the crankcase is not really a significant concern, with fork oil, too much or too little can cause real problems (too much oil can result in blown oil seals and a stiff, harsh ride, while too little oil volume results in excessive foaming, a soft mushy ride with possible bottoming, and erratic fork performance and lots of front end "dive" upon braking).

    A better way to determine the amount of fork oil that is needed and necessary is via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL within the tubes.....sort of like measuring the oil level with a dipstick. Yamaha does not specify this level for all models; and in any case, if using aftermarket springs, the factory oil level recommendation is not always useful. The maximum oil level should be 5-1/2" (140mm) below the top of the inner fork tube, measured with all internal fork tube components installed EXCEPT FOR THE SPRINGS, and with the inner fork tube fully collapsed into the lower (outer) tube.

    In order to be as accurate as possible, we recommend the use of a suitable measuring device, such as the HCP1728 oil level syringe listed further below.

    And finally, the fork oil viscosity can be changed from the factory recommendations to give a softer or firmer ride.......the lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil, and the softer the ride (i.e. 5W oil is thinner than 10W which is thinner than 20W, etc.) In this regard, you would certainly be correct in thinking of fork oil as a suspension "tuning tool"! Note that a thicker oil viscosity will have much more effect on the fork "rebound" characteristics than it will on the fork compression dampening function.

    A great primer on "tuning" your forks via adjusting the oil levels can be seen at:

    ffo3) Red Line Oil products line of SYNTHETIC FORK OILS are some of the best, highest-performance fork oils developed specifically for this purpose. They provide exceptional shear lubrication, are highly resistant to any viscosity changes, and provide excellent seal lubrication as well as very high anti-foaming properties. All of these oils are completely compatible with each other, which means that different weights can safely be mixed with each other to create "custom-weights" of fork oil for the utmost in suspension tuning flexibility. NOTE: oils, if mixed for a different viscosity, should be done in a large enough batch to provide enough oil for both front forks. You do NOT want to be running different oil viscosity's in the left and right fork tubes!

    Also, do not mix different brands, styles, or types of oils........you can only safely mix forks oils together from one manufacturer!

    Fork Tube Oil Level Gauges:

    HCP1728 Fork tube oil fluid level measurement GAUGE AND SYRINGE. This handy tool makes the measurement of the fork oil level easy and accurate. NOTE: the proper amount of fork oil is determined via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL (distance below the very top of the inner tube) rather than a volume AMOUNT of oil specification. Too little oil will make the ride mushy, while too much oil makes the ride harsh (and can blow out the oil seals!)
    $ 37.95




    ffl4) Aftermarket fork oil measurement GRADUATED CYLINDERS. The best way to measure the precise amount of fork oil fluid is via the use of these lab-quality measurement cylinders. Available in either transparent (clear) or translucent (cloudy) durable plastic construction, they all have easy-to-read scale numerals (milliliters) and feature a "non-wetting" inner surface coating that prevents the concave "meniscus" from forming at the top of the fluid, thus insuring a much more accurate level reading. Large bases insure stability while large spouts make "the pour" easy and prevent messy drips. Very useful device to have for front fork oil changes.


    HCP10741 Aftermarket fork oil GRADUATED CYLINDER, 250ml capacity, translucent (cloudy).
    $ 16.95

    HCP10744 Aftermarket fork oil GRADUATED CYLINDER, 250ml capacity, transparent (clear).

    Fork Tube Air Pressure Tool and Gauge:

    HCP9196 Aftermarket AIR VALVE STEM TOOL, handy 4-in-1 tool allows you to properly remove and insert the stem core, and also clean/chase/re-thread the internal and external stem threads.
    $ 5.95

    HCP9108 Aftermarket air-assisted forks LOW PRESSURE AIR GAUGE, heavy-duty 0-20 psi pencil (stick) pressure gauge marked in 1/2-psi increments, perfect for checking fork air pressures on models so equipped. Very high quality and much more accurate than standard tire pressure gauges, which is very important on the fork pressures as an imbalance between the fork pressure can lead to steering and stability issues, while too much pressure will blow out the lower tube oil seals!

    NOTE: items marked below in red are the parts typically needed when doing a basic fork system rebuild.

    A good visual review of the procedures needed for rebuilding these forks can be seen at:

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/8355

    And these incredible 3-D renderings of the inner workings of a forking system gives a great visualization of the internal components (it is based on the 1982-83 XJ650 Maxim forks):

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/29616


    XJ600 owners may also wish to note the procedure needed to separate the inner tubes from the lower tubes (the “battering ram” procedure) since these forks also use the slider bushings on the bottom of the chrome tubes as shown on these XJ900 forks:

    Oil Seals:

    NOTE: when installing oil seals, make sure that the area where the seal will fit into is clean, free of any nicks and burrs, and that the lower tube metal slide bushing is fully seated. Oil seals install with the large opening facing down, into the tube, and on most seals, the small cast lettering and numbering on the seal faces upwards.

    Seals are designed to be installed with a seal driver of some type, although a properly sized piece of hard plastic tubing, perhaps with a proper sized metal washer on top of the seal to "spread the load", works as well. Always make sure that oil seals are fully seated and not damaged or installed in a crooked or cocked manner.

    Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

    Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

    While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

    Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

    Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    ft4) These stainless-steel, bristle-wire DE-BURRING BRUSHES will work wonders on the upper cap bolt area on both the threaded and the non-threaded style of fork tubes. Tubes that use threaded cap bolt (all XJ650 Turbo, all XJ700 models, XJ750-X models, XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim, XJ900RK, and XJ1100 models) should use the HCP10223 butterfly brush; non-threaded tubes can use either the HCP10222 spiral brush or the HCP10223 butterfly brush. Both style brushes have stems that are designed to be used in a standard power drill, and should be used at 850 rpm's or less. These brushes will make quick and meaningful work of the cleaning and polishing of this critical area on your upper fork tubes.

    FORK OIL:

    Unlike motor oil or gear oil, fork oil's major purpose is not lubrication.....rather, it acts as part of the suspension system, providing both damping and rebound control functions. The different "weight" or viscosity of fork oils allows you to modify the ride and handling characteristics of your bike in a fairly simple way.

    And yes, it IS a lubricant also!

    Although many people----including, unbelievably, Yamaha itself----recommends the use of engine motor oil as a substitute for fork oil, this is not a very good idea. Engine oils (or any multi-viscosity oil) uses additives and detergents that, while wonderful in for their intended purposes inside an engine block, tranny case, or rear drive unit, are not such a good idea inside forks. Forks operate at a much lower temperature and temperature RANGE than engine and drivetrains do, and thus do not need all those additives. And fork oil also tends to contain higher percentages of molybdenum disulfide and anti-foaming agents than engine or gear oil, both of which are very important to proper fork operation.

    As a small example.......most motor oils are of a multi-viscosity nature (such as 10W30) which change their viscosity in relation to their temperature (thin when cool, thicker as they warm). A very necessary and useful feature for an engine, where you do not want your oil thinning out as the engine warms up. Not such a good idea for your suspension----unless for some reason you WANT your handling characteristics to change (get stiffer) as the forks heat up!


    Proper fork oil levels and scheduled change intervals are important for fork performance and fork part longevity.....water contamination, as well as particulate wear will accumulate in fork oil, and since there is no oil filtering mechanism within your forks, the only way to get the grit and gunk out (before it chews up your oil seals and slider bearings!) is to change your fork fluid regularly. Yamaha recommends a fork fluid change every 10,000 miles or 24 months (all models except XJ700's), or every 16,000 miles or 24 months (all XJ700 and XJ750-X models). If you just bought a used bike, we recommend you do a fluid change as soon as possible, because just like other routine maintenance tasks (besides engine oil changes), this is one that has very likely been ignored for the last 10-12 years!

    HINT: there’s a puddle of fluid under your wheel, in the area of the brake caliper. Unless the source of the leak is fully obvious, how can you tell if it’s brake fluid of fork oil? Try to mix a few drops of water into the fluid; fork oil (or engine/gear oil) won’t mix and the water will “ball up”; brake fluid will integrate with water and absorb the water.


    Fork oil capacities and recommended weights are as follows. The amounts listed are per fork tube:


    XJ550 Maxim: 272cc or 9.20 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    XJ550 Seca: 230cc or 7.78 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1980-81 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 262cc or 8.86 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982-84 XJ650 Maxim: 278cc or 9.40 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ650RJ Seca: 236cc or 7.98 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 400mm (15.75") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982 XJ650LJ Turbo: 238cc or 8.04 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 180mm (7.09") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ650LK Turbo: unknown.

    1985-86 XJ700 non-X: 383cc or 12.96 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1985-86 XJ700-X: 389cc or 13.16 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ750 Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. NOTE: owner's manual states that the fork oil capacity is 278cc (9.40 fluid ounces). It is unknown which measurement is correct.

    1981-83 XJ750 Seca: 309cc or 10.45 fluid ounces. 20W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 E-II Seca or 1984 XJ750RL Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 168mm (6.61") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ900RK Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 164mm (6.46") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982-84 XJ1100 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 210cc or 7.10 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 210mm (8.27") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: the above fork oil VOLUMES are for use only when using the stock fork springs. The use of aftermarket performance front fork coil springs will change those volumes, since aftermarket springs are thicker than stock----and thus displace more oil. Using the stock oil fluid VOLUME with aftermarket fork springs is a sure way to OVERFILL your forks, with the very real possibility of blowing out fork seals.


    Unlike with your engine oil, where a bit too much or too little oil volume in the crankcase is not really a significant concern, with fork oil, too much or too little can cause real problems (too much oil can result in blown oil seals and a stiff, harsh ride, while too little oil volume results in excessive foaming, a soft mushy ride with possible bottoming, and erratic fork performance and lots of front end "dive" upon braking).

    A better way to determine the amount of fork oil that is needed and necessary is via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL within the tubes.....sort of like measuring the oil level with a dipstick. Yamaha does not specify this level for all models; and in any case, if using aftermarket springs, the factory oil level recommendation is not always useful. The maximum oil level should be 5-1/2" (140mm) below the top of the inner fork tube, measured with all internal fork tube components installed EXCEPT FOR THE SPRINGS, and with the inner fork tube fully collapsed into the lower (outer) tube.

    In order to be as accurate as possible, we recommend the use of a suitable measuring device, such as the HCP1728 oil level syringe listed further below.

    And finally, the fork oil viscosity can be changed from the factory recommendations to give a softer or firmer ride.......the lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil, and the softer the ride (i.e. 5W oil is thinner than 10W which is thinner than 20W, etc.) In this regard, you would certainly be correct in thinking of fork oil as a suspension "tuning tool"! Note that a thicker oil viscosity will have much more effect on the fork "rebound" characteristics than it will on the fork compression dampening function.

    A great primer on "tuning" your forks via adjusting the oil levels can be seen at:

    while the theory and science and practical applications of tuning your suspension via using differing viscosities of fork oil can is revealed at:

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.


    ffo3) Red Line Oil products line of SYNTHETIC FORK OILS are some of the best, highest-performance fork oils developed specifically for this purpose. They provide exceptional shear lubrication, are highly resistant to any viscosity changes, and provide excellent seal lubrication as well as very high anti-foaming properties. All of these oils are completely compatible with each other, which means that different weights can safely be mixed with each other to create "custom-weights" of fork oil for the utmost in suspension tuning flexibility. NOTE: oils, if mixed for a different viscosity, should be done in a large enough batch to provide enough oil for both front forks. You do NOT want to be running different oil viscosity's in the left and right fork tubes!

    Also, do not mix different brands, styles, or types of oils........you can only safely mix forks oils together from one manufacturer!

    Fork Tube Oil Level Gauges:

    HCP1728 Fork tube oil fluid level measurement GAUGE AND SYRINGE. This handy tool makes the measurement of the fork oil level easy and accurate. NOTE: the proper amount of fork oil is determined via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL (distance below the very top of the inner tube) rather than a volume AMOUNT of oil specification. Too little oil will make the ride mushy, while too much oil makes the ride harsh (and can blow out the oil seals!)

    ffl4) Aftermarket fork oil measurement GRADUATED CYLINDERS. The best way to measure the precise amount of fork oil fluid is via the use of these lab-quality measurement cylinders. Available in either transparent (clear) or translucent (cloudy) durable plastic construction, they all have easy-to-read scale numerals (milliliters) and feature a "non-wetting" inner surface coating that prevents the concave "meniscus" from forming at the top of the fluid, thus insuring a much more accurate level reading. Large bases insure stability while large spouts make "the pour" easy and prevent messy drips. Very useful device to have for front fork oil changes.

    XJ650 MODELS FORK TUBE PARTS:

    NOTE: items marked below in red are the parts typically needed when doing a basic fork system rebuild.

    A good visual review of the procedures needed for rebuilding these forks can be seen at:

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/8355

    And these incredible 3-D renderings of the inner workings of a forking system gives a great visualization of the internal components (it is based on the 1982-83 XJ650 Maxim forks):

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/29616


    XJ650 Turbo owners may also wish to note the procedure needed to separate the inner tubes from the lower tubes (the “battering ram” procedure) since these forks also use the slider bushings on the bottom of the chrome tubes as shown on these XJ900 forks:

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/4067

NOTE: springs should be installed with the tighter (more-closely spaced together) coils towards the top of the fork tube.
    $ 139.95


    1980-81 XJ650 Maxim or Midnight Maxim models will need the installation of an HCP8239 spring seat (one for each spring) and the fabrication of a 46.40mm long spacer when replacing stock springs. You can use the HCP8284 spring spacer tube (stock for 1982-83 XJ650 Maxim models) and cut it down to the proper length; one tube will provide enough material to do both springs and fork tubes.....or you can order the HCP21019 spacers tubes which are already cut to the correct length. NOTE: due to the difference in size of this spring versus stock springs, you will need to use approximately 24 cc's more fork oil (for a total of 286cc's per tube) when installing these springs and using the stock thin-wall metal spacer tubes as recommended above. The use of other type of spacers (thick-wall PVC pipe, for instance) will change this recommended fork oil volume by an unknown amount.


    1982-83 XJ650 Maxim will require the stock spacers to be shortened to 88.90mm (or you can order the HCP21020 spacers tubes which are already cut to the correct length), and the re-use the original spring seats. NOTE: due to the difference in size of this spring versus stock springs, you will need to use approximately 15 cc's more fork oil (for a total of 293cc's per tube) when installing these springs and using the modified stock thin-wall metal spacer tubes as recommended above. The use of other type of spacers (thick-wall PVC pipe, for instance) will change this recommended fork oil volume by an unknown amount.


    1982 XJ650RJ Seca and all XJ650 Euro models will need the installation of an HCP8239 spring seat (one for each spring) and the fabrication of a 36.40mm long spacer when replacing stock springs, and the re-use of the original spring seats. For a more precise feel, use only a 12.50mm spacer:

    http://www.totalmotorcycle.com/pdf/savi ... ndards.pdf

    You can use the HCP8284 spring spacer tube (stock for 1982-83 XJ650 Maxim models) and cut it down to the proper length; one tube will provide enough material to do both springs and fork tubes......or you can order the HCP21021 spacers tubes which are already cut to the correct length. NOTE: due to the difference in size of this spring versus stock springs, you will need to use approximately 7 cc's more fork oil (for a total of 243cc's per tube) when installing these springs and using the modified stock thin-wall metal spacer tubes as recommended above. The use of other type of spacers (thick-wall PVC pipe, for instance) will change this recommended fork oil volume by an unknown amount.


    1982-83 XJ650 Turbo models will require the stock spacers to be shortened to 38.10mm (or you can order the HCP21023 spacers tubes which are already cut to the correct length) and the re-use the original spring seats.

    Oil Seals:

    NOTE: when installing oil seals, make sure that the area where the seal will fit into is clean, free of any nicks and burrs, and that the lower tube metal slide bushing is fully seated. Oil seals install with the large opening facing down, into the tube, and on most seals, the small cast lettering and numbering on the seal faces upwards.

    Seals are designed to be installed with a seal driver of some type, although a properly sized piece of hard plastic tubing, perhaps with a proper sized metal washer on top of the seal to "spread the load", works as well. Always make sure that oil seals are fully seated and not damaged or installed in a crooked or cocked manner.

    Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

    Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

    While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

    Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

    Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

    FORK OIL:

    Unlike motor oil or gear oil, fork oil's major purpose is not lubrication.....rather, it acts as part of the suspension system, providing both damping and rebound control functions. The different "weight" or viscosity of fork oils allows you to modify the ride and handling characteristics of your bike in a fairly simple way.

    And yes, it IS a lubricant also!

    Although many people----including, unbelievably, Yamaha itself----recommends the use of engine motor oil as a substitute for fork oil, this is not a very good idea. Engine oils (or any multi-viscosity oil) uses additives and detergents that, while wonderful in for their intended purposes inside an engine block, tranny case, or rear drive unit, are not such a good idea inside forks. Forks operate at a much lower temperature and temperature RANGE than engine and drivetrains do, and thus do not need all those additives. And fork oil also tends to contain higher percentages of molybdenum disulfide and anti-foaming agents than engine or gear oil, both of which are very important to proper fork operation.

    As a small example.......most motor oils are of a multi-viscosity nature (such as 10W30) which change their viscosity in relation to their temperature (thin when cool, thicker as they warm). A very necessary and useful feature for an engine, where you do not want your oil thinning out as the engine warms up. Not such a good idea for your suspension----unless for some reason you WANT your handling characteristics to change (get stiffer) as the forks heat up!


    Proper fork oil levels and scheduled change intervals are important for fork performance and fork part longevity.....water contamination, as well as particulate wear will accumulate in fork oil, and since there is no oil filtering mechanism within your forks, the only way to get the grit and gunk out (before it chews up your oil seals and slider bearings!) is to change your fork fluid regularly. Yamaha recommends a fork fluid change every 10,000 miles or 24 months (all models except XJ700's), or every 16,000 miles or 24 months (all XJ700 and XJ750-X models). If you just bought a used bike, we recommend you do a fluid change as soon as possible, because just like other routine maintenance tasks (besides engine oil changes), this is one that has very likely been ignored for the last 10-12 years!

    HINT: there’s a puddle of fluid under your wheel, in the area of the brake caliper. Unless the source of the leak is fully obvious, how can you tell if it’s brake fluid of fork oil? Try to mix a few drops of water into the fluid; fork oil (or engine/gear oil) won’t mix and the water will “ball up”; brake fluid will integrate with water and absorb the water.


    Fork oil capacities and recommended weights are as follows. The amounts listed are per fork tube:


    XJ550 Maxim: 272cc or 9.20 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    XJ550 Seca: 230cc or 7.78 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1980-81 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 262cc or 8.86 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982-84 XJ650 Maxim: 278cc or 9.40 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ650RJ Seca: 236cc or 7.98 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 400mm (15.75") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982 XJ650LJ Turbo: 238cc or 8.04 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 180mm (7.09") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ650LK Turbo: unknown.

    1985-86 XJ700 non-X: 383cc or 12.96 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1985-86 XJ700-X: 389cc or 13.16 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ750 Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. NOTE: owner's manual states that the fork oil capacity is 278cc (9.40 fluid ounces). It is unknown which measurement is correct.

    1981-83 XJ750 Seca: 309cc or 10.45 fluid ounces. 20W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 E-II Seca or 1984 XJ750RL Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 168mm (6.61") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ900RK Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 164mm (6.46") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982-84 XJ1100 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 210cc or 7.10 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 210mm (8.27") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: the above fork oil VOLUMES are for use only when using the stock fork springs. The use of aftermarket performance front fork coil springs will change those volumes, since aftermarket springs are thicker than stock----and thus displace more oil. Using the stock oil fluid VOLUME with aftermarket fork springs is a sure way to OVERFILL your forks, with the very real possibility of blowing out fork seals.


    Unlike with your engine oil, where a bit too much or too little oil volume in the crankcase is not really a significant concern, with fork oil, too much or too little can cause real problems (too much oil can result in blown oil seals and a stiff, harsh ride, while too little oil volume results in excessive foaming, a soft mushy ride with possible bottoming, and erratic fork performance and lots of front end "dive" upon braking).

    A better way to determine the amount of fork oil that is needed and necessary is via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL within the tubes.....sort of like measuring the oil level with a dipstick. Yamaha does not specify this level for all models; and in any case, if using aftermarket springs, the factory oil level recommendation is not always useful. The maximum oil level should be 5-1/2" (140mm) below the top of the inner fork tube, measured with all internal fork tube components installed EXCEPT FOR THE SPRINGS, and with the inner fork tube fully collapsed into the lower (outer) tube.

    In order to be as accurate as possible, we recommend the use of a suitable measuring device, such as the HCP1728 oil level syringe listed further below.

    And finally, the fork oil viscosity can be changed from the factory recommendations to give a softer or firmer ride.......the lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil, and the softer the ride (i.e. 5W oil is thinner than 10W which is thinner than 20W, etc.) In this regard, you would certainly be correct in thinking of fork oil as a suspension "tuning tool"! Note that a thicker oil viscosity will have much more effect on the fork "rebound" characteristics than it will on the fork compression dampening function.

    ffo3) Red Line Oil products line of SYNTHETIC FORK OILS are some of the best, highest-performance fork oils developed specifically for this purpose. They provide exceptional shear lubrication, are highly resistant to any viscosity changes, and provide excellent seal lubrication as well as very high anti-foaming properties. All of these oils are completely compatible with each other, which means that different weights can safely be mixed with each other to create "custom-weights" of fork oil for the utmost in suspension tuning flexibility. NOTE: oils, if mixed for a different viscosity, should be done in a large enough batch to provide enough oil for both front forks. You do NOT want to be running different oil viscosity's in the left and right fork tubes!

    Also, do not mix different brands, styles, or types of oils........you can only safely mix forks oils together from one manufacturer!

    Fork Tube Oil Level Gauges:

    HCP1728 Fork tube oil fluid level measurement GAUGE AND SYRINGE. This handy tool makes the measurement of the fork oil level easy and accurate. NOTE: the proper amount of fork oil is determined via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL (distance below the very top of the inner tube) rather than a volume AMOUNT of oil specification. Too little oil will make the ride mushy, while too much oil makes the ride harsh (and can blow out the oil seals!)
    $ 37.95




    ffl4) Aftermarket fork oil measurement GRADUATED CYLINDERS. The best way to measure the precise amount of fork oil fluid is via the use of these lab-quality measurement cylinders. Available in either transparent (clear) or translucent (cloudy) durable plastic construction, they all have easy-to-read scale numerals (milliliters) and feature a "non-wetting" inner surface coating that prevents the concave "meniscus" from forming at the top of the fluid, thus insuring a much more accurate level reading. Large bases insure stability while large spouts make "the pour" easy and prevent messy drips. Very useful device to have for front fork oil changes.

    $ 5.95

    HCP9108 Aftermarket air-assisted forks LOW PRESSURE AIR GAUGE, heavy-duty 0-20 psi pencil (stick) pressure gauge marked in 1/2-psi increments, perfect for checking fork air pressures on models so equipped. Very high quality and much more accurate than standard tire pressure gauges, which is very important on the fork pressures as an imbalance between the fork pressure can lead to steering and stability issues, while too much pressure will blow out the lower tube oil seals!

    XJ700 and XJ750-X MODELS FORK TUBE PARTS:

    NOTE: items marked below in red are the parts typically needed when doing a basic fork system rebuild.

    Thanks to user Tabaka45 for his expose of the XJ700 fork system with this great visual review of the procedures needed for rebuilding these forks, which can be seen at:

    http://www.xjbikes.com/forums/threads/fork-seals-85-xj700n-picture-heavy.78389/


    And these incredible 3-D renderings of the inner workings of a forking system gives a great visualization of the internal components (it is based on the 1982-83 XJ650 Maxim forks):

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/29616


    XJ700 and XJ750-X owners may also wish to note the procedure needed to separate the inner tubes from the lower tubes (the "battering ram" procedure) since these forks also use the slider bushings on the bottom of the chrome tubes as shown on these XJ900 forks:

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/4067



    FORK TUBE REBUILD PARTS KITS:

    We now offer both a BASIC FORK REBUILD KIT and PERFORMANCE FOR TUBE REBUILD KITS so that you can get all the typically-needed rebuild parts under one simple part number. Each kit is specifically assembled and correct for your particular model bike.

    Oil Seals:

    NOTE: when installing oil seals, make sure that the area where the seal will fit into is clean, free of any nicks and burrs, and that the lower tube metal slide bushing is fully seated. Oil seals install with the large opening facing down, into the tube, and on most seals, the small cast lettering and numbering on the seal faces upwards.

    Seals are designed to be installed with a seal driver of some type, although a properly sized piece of hard plastic tubing, perhaps with a proper sized metal washer on top of the seal to "spread the load", works as well. Always make sure that oil seals are fully seated and not damaged or installed in a crooked or cocked manner.

    Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

    Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

    While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

    Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

    Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

    FORK OIL:

    Unlike motor oil or gear oil, fork oil's major purpose is not lubrication.....rather, it acts as part of the suspension system, providing both damping and rebound control functions. The different "weight" or viscosity of fork oils allows you to modify the ride and handling characteristics of your bike in a fairly simple way.

    And yes, it IS a lubricant also!

    Although many people----including, unbelievably, Yamaha itself----recommends the use of engine motor oil as a substitute for fork oil, this is not a very good idea. Engine oils (or any multi-viscosity oil) uses additives and detergents that, while wonderful in for their intended purposes inside an engine block, tranny case, or rear drive unit, are not such a good idea inside forks. Forks operate at a much lower temperature and temperature RANGE than engine and drivetrains do, and thus do not need all those additives. And fork oil also tends to contain higher percentages of molybdenum disulfide and anti-foaming agents than engine or gear oil, both of which are very important to proper fork operation.

    As a small example.......most motor oils are of a multi-viscosity nature (such as 10W30) which change their viscosity in relation to their temperature (thin when cool, thicker as they warm). A very necessary and useful feature for an engine, where you do not want your oil thinning out as the engine warms up. Not such a good idea for your suspension----unless for some reason you WANT your handling characteristics to change (get stiffer) as the forks heat up!


    Proper fork oil levels and scheduled change intervals are important for fork performance and fork part longevity.....water contamination, as well as particulate wear will accumulate in fork oil, and since there is no oil filtering mechanism within your forks, the only way to get the grit and gunk out (before it chews up your oil seals and slider bearings!) is to change your fork fluid regularly. Yamaha recommends a fork fluid change every 10,000 miles or 24 months (all models except XJ700's), or every 16,000 miles or 24 months (all XJ700 and XJ750-X models). If you just bought a used bike, we recommend you do a fluid change as soon as possible, because just like other routine maintenance tasks (besides engine oil changes), this is one that has very likely been ignored for the last 10-12 years!

    HINT: there’s a puddle of fluid under your wheel, in the area of the brake caliper. Unless the source of the leak is fully obvious, how can you tell if it’s brake fluid of fork oil? Try to mix a few drops of water into the fluid; fork oil (or engine/gear oil) won’t mix and the water will “ball up”; brake fluid will integrate with water and absorb the water.


    Fork oil capacities and recommended weights are as follows. The amounts listed are per fork tube:


    XJ550 Maxim: 272cc or 9.20 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    XJ550 Seca: 230cc or 7.78 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1980-81 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 262cc or 8.86 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982-84 XJ650 Maxim: 278cc or 9.40 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ650RJ Seca: 236cc or 7.98 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 400mm (15.75") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982 XJ650LJ Turbo: 238cc or 8.04 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 180mm (7.09") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ650LK Turbo: unknown.

    1985-86 XJ700 non-X: 383cc or 12.96 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1985-86 XJ700-X: 389cc or 13.16 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ750 Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. NOTE: owner's manual states that the fork oil capacity is 278cc (9.40 fluid ounces). It is unknown which measurement is correct.

    1981-83 XJ750 Seca: 309cc or 10.45 fluid ounces. 20W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 E-II Seca or 1984 XJ750RL Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 168mm (6.61") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ900RK Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 164mm (6.46") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982-84 XJ1100 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 210cc or 7.10 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 210mm (8.27") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: the above fork oil VOLUMES are for use only when using the stock fork springs. The use of aftermarket performance front fork coil springs will change those volumes, since aftermarket springs are thicker than stock----and thus displace more oil. Using the stock oil fluid VOLUME with aftermarket fork springs is a sure way to OVERFILL your forks, with the very real possibility of blowing out fork seals.


    Unlike with your engine oil, where a bit too much or too little oil volume in the crankcase is not really a significant concern, with fork oil, too much or too little can cause real problems (too much oil can result in blown oil seals and a stiff, harsh ride, while too little oil volume results in excessive foaming, a soft mushy ride with possible bottoming, and erratic fork performance and lots of front end "dive" upon braking).

    A better way to determine the amount of fork oil that is needed and necessary is via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL within the tubes.....sort of like measuring the oil level with a dipstick. Yamaha does not specify this level for all models; and in any case, if using aftermarket springs, the factory oil level recommendation is not always useful. The maximum oil level should be 5-1/2" (140mm) below the top of the inner fork tube, measured with all internal fork tube components installed EXCEPT FOR THE SPRINGS, and with the inner fork tube fully collapsed into the lower (outer) tube.

    In order to be as accurate as possible, we recommend the use of a suitable measuring device, such as the HCP1728 oil level syringe listed further below.

    And finally, the fork oil viscosity can be changed from the factory recommendations to give a softer or firmer ride.......the lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil, and the softer the ride (i.e. 5W oil is thinner than 10W which is thinner than 20W, etc.) In this regard, you would certainly be correct in thinking of fork oil as a suspension "tuning tool"! Note that a thicker oil viscosity will have much more effect on the fork "rebound" characteristics than it will on the fork compression dampening function.

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.


    ffo3) Red Line Oil products line of SYNTHETIC FORK OILS are some of the best, highest-performance fork oils developed specifically for this purpose. They provide exceptional shear lubrication, are highly resistant to any viscosity changes, and provide excellent seal lubrication as well as very high anti-foaming properties. All of these oils are completely compatible with each other, which means that different weights can safely be mixed with each other to create "custom-weights" of fork oil for the utmost in suspension tuning flexibility. NOTE: oils, if mixed for a different viscosity, should be done in a large enough batch to provide enough oil for both front forks. You do NOT want to be running different oil viscosity's in the left and right fork tubes!

    Also, do not mix different brands, styles, or types of oils........you can only safely mix forks oils together from one manufacturer!

    Fork Tube Oil Level Gauges:

    HCP1728 Fork tube oil fluid level measurement GAUGE AND SYRINGE. This handy tool makes the measurement of the fork oil level easy and accurate. NOTE: the proper amount of fork oil is determined via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL (distance below the very top of the inner tube) rather than a volume AMOUNT of oil specification. Too little oil will make the ride mushy, while too much oil makes the ride harsh (and can blow out the oil seals!)
    $ 37.95




    ffl4) Aftermarket fork oil measurement GRADUATED CYLINDERS. The best way to measure the precise amount of fork oil fluid is via the use of these lab-quality measurement cylinders. Available in either transparent (clear) or translucent (cloudy) durable plastic construction, they all have easy-to-read scale numerals (milliliters) and feature a "non-wetting" inner surface coating that prevents the concave "meniscus" from forming at the top of the fluid, thus insuring a much more accurate level reading. Large bases insure stability while large spouts make "the pour" easy and prevent messy drips. Very useful device to have for front fork oil changes.

    Fork Tube Air Pressure Tool and Gauge:

    HCP9196 Aftermarket AIR VALVE STEM TOOL, handy 4-in-1 tool allows you to properly remove and insert the stem core, and also clean/chase/re-thread the internal and external stem threads.
    $ 5.95

    HCP9108 Aftermarket air-assisted forks LOW PRESSURE AIR GAUGE, heavy-duty 0-20 psi pencil (stick) pressure gauge marked in 1/2-psi increments, perfect for checking fork air pressures on models so equipped. Very high quality and much more accurate than standard tire pressure gauges, which is very important on the fork pressures as an imbalance between the fork pressure can lead to steering and stability issues, while too much pressure will blow out the lower tube oil seals!

    Oil Seals:

    NOTE: when installing oil seals, make sure that the area where the seal will fit into is clean, free of any nicks and burrs, and that the lower tube metal slide bushing is fully seated. Oil seals install with the large opening facing down, into the tube, and on most seals, the small cast lettering and numbering on the seal faces upwards.

    Seals are designed to be installed with a seal driver of some type, although a properly sized piece of hard plastic tubing, perhaps with a proper sized metal washer on top of the seal to "spread the load", works as well. Always make sure that oil seals are fully seated and not damaged or installed in a crooked or cocked manner.

    Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

    Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

    While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

    Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

    Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    HCP10331 Aftermarket standard-duty PENETRATING LUBRICANT, in a generous 16-ounce aerosol can. Oil-based lubricant penetrates down into spaces of one-millionth of an inch to handle the most reluctant seizures. Actually dissolves the rust and corrosion that causes the seizure; lubricates and displaces moisture to prevent rust re-formation. This product is what we use and recommend for freeing stuck fork tube cap bolts and other such challenging fasteners.

    HCP11974 Aftermarket super-duty PENETRATING LUBRICANT, in a generous 13-ounce aerosol can. Same as our standard-duty formula above, but also includes graphite to not only enhance and speed up the penetrant action, but also gets down into the pores of the metal for the greatest possible lubrication possible. The cat's-meow of penetrating fluids, can even be used to un-seize frozen engines or as an engine assembly lube! This fluid is also a great choice for use as a drive cable lubricant.

    HCP10333 Aftermarket extreme-duty PENETRATING LUBRICANT, in a generous 16-ounce aerosol can. Same as our standard-duty formula above, but also includes liquid silicone to enhance and speed up the penetrant action. This product is also an exceptional choice for use as a control-cable lubricant.

    ft4) These stainless-steel, bristle-wire DE-BURRING BRUSHES will work wonders on the upper cap bolt area on both the threaded and the non-threaded style of fork tubes. Tubes that use threaded cap bolt (all XJ650 Turbo, all XJ700 models, XJ750-X models, XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim, XJ900RK, and XJ1100 models) should use the HCP10223 butterfly brush; non-threaded tubes can use either the HCP10222 spiral brush or the HCP10223 butterfly brush. Both style brushes have stems that are designed to be used in a standard power drill, and should be used at 850 rpm's or less. These brushes will make quick and meaningful work of the cleaning and polishing of this critical area on your upper fork tubes.

    FORK OIL:

    Unlike motor oil or gear oil, fork oil's major purpose is not lubrication.....rather, it acts as part of the suspension system, providing both damping and rebound control functions. The different "weight" or viscosity of fork oils allows you to modify the ride and handling characteristics of your bike in a fairly simple way.

    And yes, it IS a lubricant also!

    Although many people----including, unbelievably, Yamaha itself----recommends the use of engine motor oil as a substitute for fork oil, this is not a very good idea. Engine oils (or any multi-viscosity oil) uses additives and detergents that, while wonderful in for their intended purposes inside an engine block, tranny case, or rear drive unit, are not such a good idea inside forks. Forks operate at a much lower temperature and temperature RANGE than engine and drivetrains do, and thus do not need all those additives. And fork oil also tends to contain higher percentages of molybdenum disulfide and anti-foaming agents than engine or gear oil, both of which are very important to proper fork operation.

    As a small example.......most motor oils are of a multi-viscosity nature (such as 10W30) which change their viscosity in relation to their temperature (thin when cool, thicker as they warm). A very necessary and useful feature for an engine, where you do not want your oil thinning out as the engine warms up. Not such a good idea for your suspension----unless for some reason you WANT your handling characteristics to change (get stiffer) as the forks heat up!


    Proper fork oil levels and scheduled change intervals are important for fork performance and fork part longevity.....water contamination, as well as particulate wear will accumulate in fork oil, and since there is no oil filtering mechanism within your forks, the only way to get the grit and gunk out (before it chews up your oil seals and slider bearings!) is to change your fork fluid regularly. Yamaha recommends a fork fluid change every 10,000 miles or 24 months (all models except XJ700's), or every 16,000 miles or 24 months (all XJ700 and XJ750-X models). If you just bought a used bike, we recommend you do a fluid change as soon as possible, because just like other routine maintenance tasks (besides engine oil changes), this is one that has very likely been ignored for the last 10-12 years!

    HINT: there’s a puddle of fluid under your wheel, in the area of the brake caliper. Unless the source of the leak is fully obvious, how can you tell if it’s brake fluid of fork oil? Try to mix a few drops of water into the fluid; fork oil (or engine/gear oil) won’t mix and the water will “ball up”; brake fluid will integrate with water and absorb the water.


    Fork oil capacities and recommended weights are as follows. The amounts listed are per fork tube:


    XJ550 Maxim: 272cc or 9.20 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    XJ550 Seca: 230cc or 7.78 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1980-81 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 262cc or 8.86 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982-84 XJ650 Maxim: 278cc or 9.40 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ650RJ Seca: 236cc or 7.98 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 400mm (15.75") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982 XJ650LJ Turbo: 238cc or 8.04 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 180mm (7.09") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ650LK Turbo: unknown.

    1985-86 XJ700 non-X: 383cc or 12.96 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1985-86 XJ700-X: 389cc or 13.16 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ750 Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. NOTE: owner's manual states that the fork oil capacity is 278cc (9.40 fluid ounces). It is unknown which measurement is correct.

    1981-83 XJ750 Seca: 309cc or 10.45 fluid ounces. 20W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 E-II Seca or 1984 XJ750RL Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 168mm (6.61") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ900RK Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 164mm (6.46") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982-84 XJ1100 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 210cc or 7.10 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 210mm (8.27") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: the above fork oil VOLUMES are for use only when using the stock fork springs. The use of aftermarket performance front fork coil springs will change those volumes, since aftermarket springs are thicker than stock----and thus displace more oil. Using the stock oil fluid VOLUME with aftermarket fork springs is a sure way to OVERFILL your forks, with the very real possibility of blowing out fork seals.


    Unlike with your engine oil, where a bit too much or too little oil volume in the crankcase is not really a significant concern, with fork oil, too much or too little can cause real problems (too much oil can result in blown oil seals and a stiff, harsh ride, while too little oil volume results in excessive foaming, a soft mushy ride with possible bottoming, and erratic fork performance and lots of front end "dive" upon braking).

    A better way to determine the amount of fork oil that is needed and necessary is via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL within the tubes.....sort of like measuring the oil level with a dipstick. Yamaha does not specify this level for all models; and in any case, if using aftermarket springs, the factory oil level recommendation is not always useful. The maximum oil level should be 5-1/2" (140mm) below the top of the inner fork tube, measured with all internal fork tube components installed EXCEPT FOR THE SPRINGS, and with the inner fork tube fully collapsed into the lower (outer) tube.

    In order to be as accurate as possible, we recommend the use of a suitable measuring device, such as the HCP1728 oil level syringe listed further below.

    And finally, the fork oil viscosity can be changed from the factory recommendations to give a softer or firmer ride.......the lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil, and the softer the ride (i.e. 5W oil is thinner than 10W which is thinner than 20W, etc.) In this regard, you would certainly be correct in thinking of fork oil as a suspension "tuning tool"! Note that a thicker oil viscosity will have much more effect on the fork "rebound" characteristics than it will on the fork compression dampening function.

    ffo3) Red Line Oil products line of SYNTHETIC FORK OILS are some of the best, highest-performance fork oils developed specifically for this purpose. They provide exceptional shear lubrication, are highly resistant to any viscosity changes, and provide excellent seal lubrication as well as very high anti-foaming properties. All of these oils are completely compatible with each other, which means that different weights can safely be mixed with each other to create "custom-weights" of fork oil for the utmost in suspension tuning flexibility. NOTE: oils, if mixed for a different viscosity, should be done in a large enough batch to provide enough oil for both front forks. You do NOT want to be running different oil viscosity's in the left and right fork tubes!

    Also, do not mix different brands, styles, or types of oils........you can only safely mix forks oils together from one manufacturer!

    Fork Tube Oil Level Gauges:

    HCP1728 Fork tube oil fluid level measurement GAUGE AND SYRINGE. This handy tool makes the measurement of the fork oil level easy and accurate. NOTE: the proper amount of fork oil is determined via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL (distance below the very top of the inner tube) rather than a volume AMOUNT of oil specification. Too little oil will make the ride mushy, while too much oil makes the ride harsh (and can blow out the oil seals!)
    $ 37.95




    ffl4) Aftermarket fork oil measurement GRADUATED CYLINDERS. The best way to measure the precise amount of fork oil fluid is via the use of these lab-quality measurement cylinders. Available in either transparent (clear) or translucent (cloudy) durable plastic construction, they all have easy-to-read scale numerals (milliliters) and feature a "non-wetting" inner surface coating that prevents the concave "meniscus" from forming at the top of the fluid, thus insuring a much more accurate level reading. Large bases insure stability while large spouts make "the pour" easy and prevent messy drips. Very useful device to have for front fork oil changes.

    Fork Tube Air Pressure Tool and Gauge:

    HCP9196 Aftermarket AIR VALVE STEM TOOL, handy 4-in-1 tool allows you to properly remove and insert the stem core, and also clean/chase/re-thread the internal and external stem threads.
    $ 5.95

    HCP9108 Aftermarket air-assisted forks LOW PRESSURE AIR GAUGE, heavy-duty 0-20 psi pencil (stick) pressure gauge marked in 1/2-psi increments, perfect for checking fork air pressures on models so equipped. Very high quality and much more accurate than standard tire pressure gauges, which is very important on the fork pressures as an imbalance between the fork pressure can lead to steering and stability issues, while too much pressure will blow out the lower tube oil seals!

    XJ750 Seca and XJ750 Euro MODELS FORK TUBE PARTS:

    NOTE: items marked below in red are the parts typically needed when doing a basic fork system rebuild.

    A good visual review of the procedures needed for rebuilding the 1981-83 forks can be seen at:

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/18730


    And here's the secrets to that funny and unique "oil lock valve assembly" used only on these models, and the proper orientation of all of those special washers:

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/41895


    Owners of the 1984 XJ750RL models should follow the XJ900 rebuild procedures:

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/44997

    and

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/4067


    All XJ750 Seca owners should also wish to note the procedure needed to separate the inner tubes from the lower tubes (the "battering ram" procedure) since these forks also use the slider bushings on the bottom of the chrome tubes as shown on these XJ900 forks:

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/4067


    And these incredible 3-D renderings of the inner workings of a forking system gives a great visualization of the internal components (it is based on the 1982-83 XJ650 Maxim forks):

    Inner Tube Gaiter Boots:

    Although not originally used on any XJ-series bikes, these accordion-pleated thick rubber boots fit into the area between the bottom of the steering underbracket and the top of the lower (outer) fork boots, covering and protecting this area from damage, while providing an "old-school" or cafe-racer type look. They are retained to the chrome tube itself (at their top end) via spring clips, and to the top of the lower fork tube via metal screw-clamps.

    HCP11420 Aftermarket fork tube gaiter boot LOWER RETAINING SPRING-CLAMP. Black powdercoated wire-spring type clamp has that old-time look and feel to it. Secure the lower end of the gaiter boot to the top of the lower (outer) fork tube. Fits all XJ-series models. Use 1 per tube, each:
    $ 14.95


    NOTE: gaiter boots normally do not require any type of retainer at their upper end, as the tight friction fit between the boot opening and the chrome tube prevents migration of the boot. If movement seems to occur, then we recommend the use of thin, black electrical wire ties to cinch the boot flange tightly to the tube.

    Inner Tube Fork Springs:

    HCP9438 Aftermarket front suspension COIL SPRINGS, one pair does both forks. For all 1981-83 XJ750 Seca and XJ750 Euro models. Front spring spacers are required to be used with these springs and a pair of "thick-wall PVC pipe" spacers are included and you can use them instead of the HCP8284 spacer tube and the HCP8239 spring seats. These plastic spacers will still need to be cut to length. Optionally, you could use a pair of the HCP8239 spring seats (one for each spring) and the fabrication of a 42.80mm long spacer when replacing stock springs…..or you can order the HCP21024 spacers tubes which are already cut to the correct length. Optionally, you can use the HCP8284 spring spacer tube (stock for 1982-83 XJ650 Maxim models) and cut it down to the proper length; one tube will provide enough material to do both springs and fork tubes). NOTE: due to the difference in size of this spring versus stock springs, you will need to use approximately 12 cc's less fork oil (for a total of 297cc's per tube) when installing these springs and using the stock thin-wall metal spacer tubes as recommended above. The use of other type of spacers (thick-wall PVC pipe, for instance) will change this recommended fork oil volume by an unknown amount. NOTE: springs should be installed with the tighter (more-closely spaced together) coils towards the top of the fork tube.

    Steering Stabilizer and Hardware:

    HCP4543 OEM rotary steering stabilization DAMPER UNIT. Fitted only to 1983 XJ750 Seca models, this round “shimmy-eliminator” unit is fitted to the underside of the lower steering bracket, and interacts against the forward “finger” of the oil cooler mounting loop bracket which is welded to the front frame gusset……and thus provides a resistance, stiffening, and counteraction to fork movement. Mounts simply via a splined shaft and a retention bolt. NOTE: will not fit 1981-82 models, as they do not have the splined shaft receiver nor have proper locating tab or clearance for this device. Although these units are brand new, they should be filled with the proper viscosity of oil and all of the air should be bled out of them (using the two “center” screws). The recommended fluid to use is 15W or 20W fork oil, although you could use a thinner or thicker weight oil is desired…….just like with the forks themselves, the higher the viscosity, the more “dampening” (or resistance to rotary movement) you will obtain. NOTE: 1983 models could have been fitted with this rotary damper unit pr a more traditional fork-tube mounted “piston” style steering stabilizer. The piston stabilizer is normally seen only on bikes with the larger front fairing (“touring package” option).

    $ 17.95



    Oil Seals:

    NOTE: when installing oil seals, make sure that the area where the seal will fit into is clean, free of any nicks and burrs, and that the lower tube metal slide bushing is fully seated. Oil seals install with the large opening facing down, into the tube, and on most seals, the small cast lettering and numbering on the seal faces upwards.

    Seals are designed to be installed with a seal driver of some type, although a properly sized piece of hard plastic tubing, perhaps with a proper sized metal washer on top of the seal to "spread the load", works as well. Always make sure that oil seals are fully seated and not damaged or installed in a crooked or cocked manner.


    NOTE: all of the following oil seals are 11mm tall, and their use eliminates the need for both the upper (HCP12948) and the lower (HCP3092) spacer washers as originally used on these models. The original oil seals were 7mm tall, and this required the use of the spacer washers to “shim-up” the original seal to the proper height.

    Lower Tube Anti-Dive Unit Parts:

    The front fork ANTI-DIVE SYSTEM on these models are almost always in need of a complete, thorough cleaning and rebuild. While many people claim that the anti-dive system is a "useless" feature, the real reason may be that the system is so internally fouled and seized that it simply is not operating, at all!

    Anti-dive control units are divided into an "upper" (or "top") section, which is the brake plunger assembly....this upper section is where the brake hose, from the brake caliper, attaches. The brake fluid BLEEDER SCREW and the fluid DRAIN SCREW are located in this upper section, as well as the brake plunger piston unit. The O-RING on the plunger should be replaced during a rebuild procedure, as well as a thorough cleaning and polishing of the piston bore. Additionally, there is a snap-ring that retains the damper plunger piston unit into the housing which should be replaced if it is rusty o deformed. HINT: if this piston unit is seized, the use of the HCP12230 Piston Popper fitting will easily free it up.


    The "lower" (or "main") section of the anti-dive unit is the larger damper piston assembly (which is bolted to the fork tube), and which contains the damper piston spring and piston. Under hard braking, the brake fluid pressure forces the brake plunger (in the top "brake plunger assembly" section) to push down on the damper piston and its spring, restricting the flow of fork oil in the fork tubes, thus "stiffening" the fork system temporarily----and reducing the amount of front end "dive" during hard braking. The O-RING on the plunger should be replaced during a rebuild procedure, as well as a thorough cleaning and polishing of the piston bore. And the housing-to-fork tube O-RINGS should also be renewed. The small fluid DRAIN SCREW and it COPPER GASKET is typically replaced, and finally, the lower spring seat O-RING at the very bottom of the lower housing, should be replaced to prevent any leaks.

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/44997


    NOTE: if you want to disable your anti-dive system, you will need to remove the hose from the caliper to the anti-dive unit (and replace the caliper end double-depth union bolt with the single-depth union bolt used at the anti-dive unit end of the hose) and block-off the anti-dive fluid port with this plug:

    HCP12991 Aftermarket brake system fluid port BLOCK-OFF PLUG, correct size hex-drive set-screw is used to replace a brake hose union bolt when not in use. Use 1 per anti-dive unit.

    NOTE: speed-bleeders should NEVER be used when first re-filling a "dry" brake system----one where the lines, calipers, or master cylinder has been rebuilt or changed, for example----as the air in the system will compress, and the speed-bleeder valve will prevent fluid from flowing through the system. Always bleed dry systems using standard bleeder screws first, and only then install the speed-bleeders, and re-bleed!

    w) Lower Fork Tube DAMPER ROD RETAINING TOOL. This long aluminum tool, with proper sized nuts on each end, is used to retain the top of the fork damper rod (in the bottom of the chrome tube) when removing or installing the damper rod retaining screw. One end has a 19mm hex and the other end has a 22mm hex, so it will fit all styles of XJ-series bikes except XJ600 Seca II, 1981-83 XJ750 Seca, XJ1100, and all XS1100 Special and Midnight Special models. This tool will make the disassembly of your upper tube from the lower tube much easier! NOTE: this tool is available for short term rental, please see the “rental” section within the THE TOOLBOX section of our catalog at:

    HCP4402 Aftermarket DAMPER ROD RETAINING TOOL.
    $ 37.95


    NOTE: the HCP4402 tool does not work with certain forks (the XJ750 Seca being one of them) since the head of the damper rod does not have the internal fluting which the damper rod tool would catch onto (thus locking the damper rod in place, allowing the bolt to be removed). Instead, the damper rod is held via the insertion of a thin, round object (allen wrench of a phillips-drive screwdriver shaft) thru the lower hole in the lower fork tube where the anti-dive housings attach to the lower fork tube. This tool will go thru a drilled hole in the damper rod, thus locking it in place (preventing rotation).

    You can see a good image of this about half-way down the page (during the re-assembly process, although, it will probably also be necessary during the dis-assembly process) on the following page:

    Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

    Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

    While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

    Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

    Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA.

    FORK OIL:

    Unlike motor oil or gear oil, fork oil's major purpose is not lubrication.....rather, it acts as part of the suspension system, providing both damping and rebound control functions. The different "weight" or viscosity of fork oils allows you to modify the ride and handling characteristics of your bike in a fairly simple way.

    And yes, it IS a lubricant also!

    Although many people----including, unbelievably, Yamaha itself----recommends the use of engine motor oil as a substitute for fork oil, this is not a very good idea. Engine oils (or any multi-viscosity oil) uses additives and detergents that, while wonderful in for their intended purposes inside an engine block, tranny case, or rear drive unit, are not such a good idea inside forks. Forks operate at a much lower temperature and temperature RANGE than engine and drivetrains do, and thus do not need all those additives. And fork oil also tends to contain higher percentages of molybdenum disulfide and anti-foaming agents than engine or gear oil, both of which are very important to proper fork operation.

    As a small example.......most motor oils are of a multi-viscosity nature (such as 10W30) which change their viscosity in relation to their temperature (thin when cool, thicker as they warm). A very necessary and useful feature for an engine, where you do not want your oil thinning out as the engine warms up. Not such a good idea for your suspension----unless for some reason you WANT your handling characteristics to change (get stiffer) as the forks heat up!


    Proper fork oil levels and scheduled change intervals are important for fork performance and fork part longevity.....water contamination, as well as particulate wear will accumulate in fork oil, and since there is no oil filtering mechanism within your forks, the only way to get the grit and gunk out (before it chews up your oil seals and slider bearings!) is to change your fork fluid regularly. Yamaha recommends a fork fluid change every 10,000 miles or 24 months (all models except XJ700's), or every 16,000 miles or 24 months (all XJ700 and XJ750-X models). If you just bought a used bike, we recommend you do a fluid change as soon as possible, because just like other routine maintenance tasks (besides engine oil changes), this is one that has very likely been ignored for the last 10-12 years!

    HINT: there’s a puddle of fluid under your wheel, in the area of the brake caliper. Unless the source of the leak is fully obvious, how can you tell if it’s brake fluid of fork oil? Try to mix a few drops of water into the fluid; fork oil (or engine/gear oil) won’t mix and the water will “ball up”; brake fluid will integrate with water and absorb the water.


    Fork oil capacities and recommended weights are as follows. The amounts listed are per fork tube:


    XJ550 Maxim: 272cc or 9.20 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    XJ550 Seca: 230cc or 7.78 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1980-81 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 262cc or 8.86 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982-84 XJ650 Maxim: 278cc or 9.40 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ650RJ Seca: 236cc or 7.98 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 400mm (15.75") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982 XJ650LJ Turbo: 238cc or 8.04 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 180mm (7.09") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ650LK Turbo: unknown.

    1985-86 XJ700 non-X: 383cc or 12.96 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1985-86 XJ700-X: 389cc or 13.16 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ750 Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. NOTE: owner's manual states that the fork oil capacity is 278cc (9.40 fluid ounces). It is unknown which measurement is correct.

    1981-83 XJ750 Seca: 309cc or 10.45 fluid ounces. 20W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 E-II Seca or 1984 XJ750RL Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 168mm (6.61") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ900RK Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 164mm (6.46") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982-84 XJ1100 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 210cc or 7.10 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 210mm (8.27") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: the above fork oil VOLUMES are for use only when using the stock fork springs. The use of aftermarket performance front fork coil springs will change those volumes, since aftermarket springs are thicker than stock----and thus displace more oil. Using the stock oil fluid VOLUME with aftermarket fork springs is a sure way to OVERFILL your forks, with the very real possibility of blowing out fork seals.


    Unlike with your engine oil, where a bit too much or too little oil volume in the crankcase is not really a significant concern, with fork oil, too much or too little can cause real problems (too much oil can result in blown oil seals and a stiff, harsh ride, while too little oil volume results in excessive foaming, a soft mushy ride with possible bottoming, and erratic fork performance and lots of front end "dive" upon braking).

    A better way to determine the amount of fork oil that is needed and necessary is via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL within the tubes.....sort of like measuring the oil level with a dipstick. Yamaha does not specify this level for all models; and in any case, if using aftermarket springs, the factory oil level recommendation is not always useful. The maximum oil level should be 5-1/2" (140mm) below the top of the inner fork tube, measured with all internal fork tube components installed EXCEPT FOR THE SPRINGS, and with the inner fork tube fully collapsed into the lower (outer) tube.

    In order to be as accurate as possible, we recommend the use of a suitable measuring device, such as the HCP1728 oil level syringe listed further below.

    And finally, the fork oil viscosity can be changed from the factory recommendations to give a softer or firmer ride.......the lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil, and the softer the ride (i.e. 5W oil is thinner than 10W which is thinner than 20W, etc.) In this regard, you would certainly be correct in thinking of fork oil as a suspension "tuning tool"! Note that a thicker oil viscosity will have much more effect on the fork "rebound" characteristics than it will on the fork compression dampening function.

    ffo3) Red Line Oil products line of SYNTHETIC FORK OILS are some of the best, highest-performance fork oils developed specifically for this purpose. They provide exceptional shear lubrication, are highly resistant to any viscosity changes, and provide excellent seal lubrication as well as very high anti-foaming properties. All of these oils are completely compatible with each other, which means that different weights can safely be mixed with each other to create "custom-weights" of fork oil for the utmost in suspension tuning flexibility. NOTE: oils, if mixed for a different viscosity, should be done in a large enough batch to provide enough oil for both front forks. You do NOT want to be running different oil viscosity's in the left and right fork tubes!

    Also, do not mix different brands, styles, or types of oils........you can only safely mix forks oils together from one manufacturer!

    Fork Tube Oil Level Gauges:

    HCP1728 Fork tube oil fluid level measurement GAUGE AND SYRINGE. This handy tool makes the measurement of the fork oil level easy and accurate. NOTE: the proper amount of fork oil is determined via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL (distance below the very top of the inner tube) rather than a volume AMOUNT of oil specification. Too little oil will make the ride mushy, while too much oil makes the ride harsh (and can blow out the oil seals!)
    $ 37.95




    ffl4) Aftermarket fork oil measurement GRADUATED CYLINDERS. The best way to measure the precise amount of fork oil fluid is via the use of these lab-quality measurement cylinders. Available in either transparent (clear) or translucent (cloudy) durable plastic construction, they all have easy-to-read scale numerals (milliliters) and feature a "non-wetting" inner surface coating that prevents the concave "meniscus" from forming at the top of the fluid, thus insuring a much more accurate level reading. Large bases insure stability while large spouts make "the pour" easy and prevent messy drips. Very useful device to have for front fork oil changes.


    HCP10741 Aftermarket fork oil GRADUATED CYLINDER, 250ml capacity, translucent (cloudy).
    $ 16.95

    HCP10744 Aftermarket fork oil GRADUATED CYLINDER, 250ml capacity, transparent (clear).

    $ 59.95



    Fork Tube Air Pressure Tool and Gauge:

    HCP9196 Aftermarket AIR VALVE STEM TOOL, handy 4-in-1 tool allows you to properly remove and insert the stem core, and also clean/chase/re-thread the internal and external stem threads.
    $ 5.95

    HCP9108 Aftermarket air-assisted forks LOW PRESSURE AIR GAUGE, heavy-duty 0-20 psi pencil (stick) pressure gauge marked in 1/2-psi increments, perfect for checking fork air pressures on models so equipped. Very high quality and much more accurate than standard tire pressure gauges, which is very important on the fork pressures as an imbalance between the fork pressure can lead to steering and stability issues, while too much pressure will blow out the lower tube oil seals!

    XJ900 MODELS FORK TUBE PARTS:

    NOTE: items marked below in red are the parts typically needed when doing a basic fork system rebuild.

    A good visual review of the procedures needed for rebuilding these forks can be seen at:

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/4067

    Note that this link shows the guts on the later XJ900 models fork systems (without the anti-dive system), but is pretty much the same as on the earlier versions with the anti-dive system.

    The secret workings of the anti-dive units can be seen at:

    https://www.xjbikes.com/forums/threads/xj900rk-anti-dive-stripdown-how-to-with-pics.44997


    And these incredible 3-D renderings of the inner workings of a forking system gives a great visualization of the internal components (it is based on the 1982-83 XJ650 Maxim forks):

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/29616


    NOTE: XJ750 Police (37H models) used the XJ650 Turbo master cylinder with XJ650 Turbo/XJ750 Maxim/Midnight Maxim calipers, XJ650 Turbo rotors, and XJ900 style forks with anti-dive.

    $ 19.95



    Inner Fork Tube Cap Bolts and Related:

    HCP8292 OEM inner fork tube CAP BOLT, fits either side. Used on all 1984 FJ600, XJ700 non-X, XJ750RL, and XJ900RK, RL, and N/FN Seca models. NOTE: these cap bolts require a special inverse-hex tool HCP9238 to properly remove and install. Each:
    $ 49.95

    HCP9238 Aftermarket fork upper cap bolt REVERSE HEX SOCKET TOOL. This tool allows the easy removal and installation of the "inverted/reversed" hex-drive cap bolt used on the top of the inner fork tubes on all 1984 FJ600, XJ650 Turbo, XJ700 non-X, XJ750-D, XJ750P (37H) model, and all XJ900RK, RL, N/FN, and F models..
    $ 17.95

    $ 5.95



    Inner Tube Fork Springs:

    NOTE: the following springs are correct for the XJ900RK and RL models, XJ750RL (44X Canadian and 45T Australian models), and will also fit the XJ900 N, FN, and F model fork tubes, but we do not have the information for the non anti-dive forks in regards to spring spacers or oil fluid capacities required. Original non anti-dive fork springs (XJ900N, FN, and F models) are 5mm shorter than anti-dive springs (XJ900RK and RL), so it is safe to assume that a 5mm (or greater) spacer may be needed, and the oil level adjusted to achieve a 168mm height.

    HCP9439 Aftermarket front suspension COIL SPRINGS, one pair does both forks. For all XJ900RK, XJ900RL, XJ750RL, XJ1100, and all XS1100 models. No spring spacer is needed when using these springs on the XJ900RK and RL models. NOTE: due to the difference in size of this spring versus stock springs, you will need to use approximately 31 cc's less fork oil (for a total of 255cc's per tube on the RK and RL models, and 276cc on all other XJ900 models) when installing these springs, or adjust to a 164mm oil level. NOTE: springs should be installed with the tighter (more-closely spaced together) coils towards the top of the fork tube.

    Lower Tube Anti-Dive Unit Parts:

    The front fork ANTI-DIVE SYSTEM on these models are almost always in need of a complete, thorough cleaning and rebuild. While many people claim that the anti-dive system is a "useless" feature, the real reason may be that the system is so internally fouled and seized that it simply is not operating, at all!

    Anti-dive control units are divided into an "upper" (or "top") section, which is the brake plunger assembly....this upper section is where the brake hose, from the brake caliper, attaches. The brake fluid BLEEDER VALVE is located in this upper section, as well as the brake plunger piston unit. The O-RING on the plunger and on the screw-in piston head should be replaced during a rebuild procedure, as well as a thorough cleaning and polishing of the piston bore. The removal of the piston head requires the use of a special reverse-hex tool, part HCP16049.

    The "lower" (or "main") section of the anti-dive unit is the larger damper piston assembly (which is bolted to the fork tube), and which contains the damper actuating piston and spring. Under hard braking, the brake fluid pressure forces the brake plunger (in the top "brake plunger assembly" section) to push down on the damper piston and its spring, restricting the flow of fork oil in the fork tubes, thus "stiffening" the fork system temporarily----and reducing the amount of front end "dive" during hard braking. The O-RING on the plunger should be replaced during a rebuild procedure, as well as a thorough cleaning and polishing of the piston bore. And the housing-to-fork tube O-RINGS should also be renewed.


    Here's a good view of the components of the lower damper piston assembly on the XJ750-D, XJ750P Police (37H model), and XJ900RK and RL models anti-dive unit can be seen at:

    http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/44997

    NOTE: to dis-assemble the brake plunger assembly piston for cleaning and replacement of the o-rings, you will need this special tool to extract the threaded plug from the housing:

    HCP16049 Aftermarket fork anti-dive brake plunger assembly REVERSE HEX SOCKET TOOL. This tool allows the easy removal and installation of the "inverted/reversed" hex-drive plug used on the top of the anti-dive units on all XJ750-D, XJ750P (37H model), XJ900RK, and XJ900RL models.
    $ 19.95


    NOTE: if you want to disable your anti-dive system, you will need to remove the hose from the caliper to the anti-dive unit (and replace the caliper end double-depth union bolt with the single-depth union bolt used at the anti-dive unit end of the hose) and block-off the anti-dive fluid port with this plug:

    HCP12991 Aftermarket brake system fluid port BLOCK-OFF PLUG, correct size hex-drive set-screw is used to replace a brake hose union bolt when not in use. Use 1 per anti-dive unit.
    $ 6.95

    or an even more stylish alternative is to use these custom-made BLOCK-OFF PLATES that completely replace the upper section of the anti-dive unit:

    HCP22862SLV Aftermarket anti-dive upper housing BLOCK-OFF PLATE, beautiful machined aluminum cover plates completely replace the upper portion of your anti-dive units, fully disabling their function. Silver-painted covers come with mounting screws and a pre-load adjuster bolt which allows you to apply a small amount of pre-load (“pressure”) to the lower plunger and create a custom compression/rebound effect to your forks. Sold in a matched LH/RH set. Silver finish is correct for XJ900RK and RL models, but will also work on XJ750-D and XJ750P (37H models) systems.

Sold in a matched LH/RH set. Black finish is correct for most XJ750-D and XJ750P (37H models) systems, but will also work on XJ900RK and RL models.

    NOTE: speed-bleeders should NEVER be used when first re-filling a "dry" brake system----one where the lines, calipers, or master cylinder has been rebuilt or changed, for example----as the air in the system will compress, and the speed-bleeder valve will prevent fluid from flowing through the system. Always bleed dry systems using standard bleeder screws first, and only then install the speed-bleeders, and re-bleed!

    Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

    Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

    While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

    Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

    Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    FORK OIL:

    Unlike motor oil or gear oil, fork oil's major purpose is not lubrication.....rather, it acts as part of the suspension system, providing both damping and rebound control functions. The different "weight" or viscosity of fork oils allows you to modify the ride and handling characteristics of your bike in a fairly simple way.

    And yes, it IS a lubricant also!

    Although many people----including, unbelievably, Yamaha itself----recommends the use of engine motor oil as a substitute for fork oil, this is not a very good idea. Engine oils (or any multi-viscosity oil) uses additives and detergents that, while wonderful in for their intended purposes inside an engine block, tranny case, or rear drive unit, are not such a good idea inside forks. Forks operate at a much lower temperature and temperature RANGE than engine and drivetrains do, and thus do not need all those additives. And fork oil also tends to contain higher percentages of molybdenum disulfide and anti-foaming agents than engine or gear oil, both of which are very important to proper fork operation.

    As a small example.......most motor oils are of a multi-viscosity nature (such as 10W30) which change their viscosity in relation to their temperature (thin when cool, thicker as they warm). A very necessary and useful feature for an engine, where you do not want your oil thinning out as the engine warms up. Not such a good idea for your suspension----unless for some reason you WANT your handling characteristics to change (get stiffer) as the forks heat up!


    Proper fork oil levels and scheduled change intervals are important for fork performance and fork part longevity.....water contamination, as well as particulate wear will accumulate in fork oil, and since there is no oil filtering mechanism within your forks, the only way to get the grit and gunk out (before it chews up your oil seals and slider bearings!) is to change your fork fluid regularly. Yamaha recommends a fork fluid change every 10,000 miles or 24 months (all models except XJ700's), or every 16,000 miles or 24 months (all XJ700 and XJ750-X models). If you just bought a used bike, we recommend you do a fluid change as soon as possible, because just like other routine maintenance tasks (besides engine oil changes), this is one that has very likely been ignored for the last 10-12 years!

    HINT: there’s a puddle of fluid under your wheel, in the area of the brake caliper. Unless the source of the leak is fully obvious, how can you tell if it’s brake fluid of fork oil? Try to mix a few drops of water into the fluid; fork oil (or engine/gear oil) won’t mix and the water will “ball up”; brake fluid will integrate with water and absorb the water.


    Fork oil capacities and recommended weights are as follows. The amounts listed are per fork tube:


    XJ550 Maxim: 272cc or 9.20 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    XJ550 Seca: 230cc or 7.78 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1980-81 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 262cc or 8.86 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982-84 XJ650 Maxim: 278cc or 9.40 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ650RJ Seca: 236cc or 7.98 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 400mm (15.75") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982 XJ650LJ Turbo: 238cc or 8.04 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 180mm (7.09") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ650LK Turbo: unknown.

    1985-86 XJ700 non-X: 383cc or 12.96 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1985-86 XJ700-X: 389cc or 13.16 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ750 Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. NOTE: owner's manual states that the fork oil capacity is 278cc (9.40 fluid ounces). It is unknown which measurement is correct.

    1981-83 XJ750 Seca: 309cc or 10.45 fluid ounces. 20W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 E-II Seca or 1984 XJ750RL Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 168mm (6.61") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ900RK Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 164mm (6.46") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982-84 XJ1100 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 210cc or 7.10 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 210mm (8.27") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: the above fork oil VOLUMES are for use only when using the stock fork springs. The use of aftermarket performance front fork coil springs will change those volumes, since aftermarket springs are thicker than stock----and thus displace more oil. Using the stock oil fluid VOLUME with aftermarket fork springs is a sure way to OVERFILL your forks, with the very real possibility of blowing out fork seals.


    Unlike with your engine oil, where a bit too much or too little oil volume in the crankcase is not really a significant concern, with fork oil, too much or too little can cause real problems (too much oil can result in blown oil seals and a stiff, harsh ride, while too little oil volume results in excessive foaming, a soft mushy ride with possible bottoming, and erratic fork performance and lots of front end "dive" upon braking).

    A better way to determine the amount of fork oil that is needed and necessary is via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL within the tubes.....sort of like measuring the oil level with a dipstick. Yamaha does not specify this level for all models; and in any case, if using aftermarket springs, the factory oil level recommendation is not always useful. The maximum oil level should be 5-1/2" (140mm) below the top of the inner fork tube, measured with all internal fork tube components installed EXCEPT FOR THE SPRINGS, and with the inner fork tube fully collapsed into the lower (outer) tube.

    In order to be as accurate as possible, we recommend the use of a suitable measuring device, such as the HCP1728 oil level syringe listed further below.

    And finally, the fork oil viscosity can be changed from the factory recommendations to give a softer or firmer ride.......the lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil, and the softer the ride (i.e. 5W oil is thinner than 10W which is thinner than 20W, etc.) In this regard, you would certainly be correct in thinking of fork oil as a suspension "tuning tool"! Note that a thicker oil viscosity will have much more effect on the fork "rebound" characteristics than it will on the fork compression dampening function.

    ffo3) Red Line Oil products line of SYNTHETIC FORK OILS are some of the best, highest-performance fork oils developed specifically for this purpose. They provide exceptional shear lubrication, are highly resistant to any viscosity changes, and provide excellent seal lubrication as well as very high anti-foaming properties. All of these oils are completely compatible with each other, which means that different weights can safely be mixed with each other to create "custom-weights" of fork oil for the utmost in suspension tuning flexibility. NOTE: oils, if mixed for a different viscosity, should be done in a large enough batch to provide enough oil for both front forks. You do NOT want to be running different oil viscosity's in the left and right fork tubes!

    Also, do not mix different brands, styles, or types of oils........you can only safely mix forks oils together from one manufacturer!

    Fork Tube Oil Level Gauges:

    HCP1728 Fork tube oil fluid level measurement GAUGE AND SYRINGE. This handy tool makes the measurement of the fork oil level easy and accurate. NOTE: the proper amount of fork oil is determined via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL (distance below the very top of the inner tube) rather than a volume AMOUNT of oil specification. Too little oil will make the ride mushy, while too much oil makes the ride harsh (and can blow out the oil seals!)
    $ 37.95




    ffl4) Aftermarket fork oil measurement GRADUATED CYLINDERS. The best way to measure the precise amount of fork oil fluid is via the use of these lab-quality measurement cylinders. Available in either transparent (clear) or translucent (cloudy) durable plastic construction, they all have easy-to-read scale numerals (milliliters) and feature a "non-wetting" inner surface coating that prevents the concave "meniscus" from forming at the top of the fluid, thus insuring a much more accurate level reading. Large bases insure stability while large spouts make "the pour" easy and prevent messy drips. Very useful device to have for front fork oil changes.

    HCP11420 Aftermarket fork tube gaiter boot LOWER RETAINING SPRING-CLAMP. Black powdercoated wire-spring type clamp has that old-time look and feel to it. Secure the lower end of the gaiter boot to the top of the lower (outer) fork tube. Fits all XJ-series models. Use 1 per tube, each:

    NOTE: gaiter boots normally do not require any type of retainer at their upper end, as the tight friction fit between the boot opening and the chrome tube prevents migration of the boot. If movement seems to occur, then we recommend the use of thin, black electrical wire ties to cinch the boot flange tightly to the tube.

    Inner Tube Fork Springs:

    HCP9439 Aftermarket front suspension COIL SPRINGS, one pair does both forks. For all XJ1100 and XS1100 models. XS1100 Standard models do not require the use of a spacer or spring seat. All XJ1100 models and the XS1100 Special models will require the use of front spring spacer (which are not included with these springs), and you will need an HCP8239 spring seat (one for each spring) and the fabrication of a 87.20mm long spacer when replacing stock springs on these models. You can use the HCP8284 spring spacer tube (stock for 1982-83 XJ650 Maxim models) and cut it down to the proper length on XJ1100 and XS1100 Special models.....one tube will provide enough material to do one spring.....or you can order the HCP21025 spacers tubes which are already cut to the correct length. NOTE: springs should be installed with the tighter (more-closely spaced together) coils towards the top of the fork tube.

    Oil Seals:

    NOTE: when installing oil seals, make sure that the area where the seal will fit into is clean, free of any nicks and burrs, and that the lower tube metal slide bushing is fully seated. Oil seals install with the large opening facing down, into the tube, and on most seals, the small cast lettering and numbering on the seal faces upwards.

    Seals are designed to be installed with a seal driver of some type, although a properly sized piece of hard plastic tubing, perhaps with a proper sized metal washer on top of the seal to "spread the load", works as well. Always make sure that oil seals are fully seated and not damaged or installed in a crooked or cocked manner.

NOTE: these seals can be more difficult to install that standard OEM or aftermarket seals, as the additional spring pressure resists the flexing and "give" that normally occurs with standard seals. Make sure that the inside diameter of the lower fork tube seal seat is clean and free of nicks or gouges (it's not a bad idea to "polish" this seat with some very fine finishing paper), and then generously lubricate both the outer diameter of these seals and the lower tube seal seat area with fork oil or silicone grease. Install with the "hollow" channel of the oil seal facing down, into the lower fork tube.

    Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

    Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

    While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

    Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

    Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    ft4) These stainless-steel, bristle-wire DE-BURRING BRUSHES will work wonders on the upper cap bolt area on both the threaded and the non-threaded style of fork tubes. Tubes that use threaded cap bolt (all XJ650 Turbo, all XJ700 models, XJ750-X models, XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim, XJ900RK, and XJ1100 models) should use the HCP10223 butterfly brush; non-threaded tubes can use either the HCP10222 spiral brush or the HCP10223 butterfly brush. Both style brushes have stems that are designed to be used in a standard power drill, and should be used at 850 rpm's or less. These brushes will make quick and meaningful work of the cleaning and polishing of this critical area on your upper fork tubes.

    FORK OIL:

    Unlike motor oil or gear oil, fork oil's major purpose is not lubrication.....rather, it acts as part of the suspension system, providing both damping and rebound control functions. The different "weight" or viscosity of fork oils allows you to modify the ride and handling characteristics of your bike in a fairly simple way.

    And yes, it IS a lubricant also!

    Although many people----including, unbelievably, Yamaha itself----recommends the use of engine motor oil as a substitute for fork oil, this is not a very good idea. Engine oils (or any multi-viscosity oil) uses additives and detergents that, while wonderful in for their intended purposes inside an engine block, tranny case, or rear drive unit, are not such a good idea inside forks. Forks operate at a much lower temperature and temperature RANGE than engine and drivetrains do, and thus do not need all those additives. And fork oil also tends to contain higher percentages of molybdenum disulfide and anti-foaming agents than engine or gear oil, both of which are very important to proper fork operation.

    As a small example.......most motor oils are of a multi-viscosity nature (such as 10W30) which change their viscosity in relation to their temperature (thin when cool, thicker as they warm). A very necessary and useful feature for an engine, where you do not want your oil thinning out as the engine warms up. Not such a good idea for your suspension----unless for some reason you WANT your handling characteristics to change (get stiffer) as the forks heat up!


    Proper fork oil levels and scheduled change intervals are important for fork performance and fork part longevity.....water contamination, as well as particulate wear will accumulate in fork oil, and since there is no oil filtering mechanism within your forks, the only way to get the grit and gunk out (before it chews up your oil seals and slider bearings!) is to change your fork fluid regularly. Yamaha recommends a fork fluid change every 10,000 miles or 24 months (all models except XJ700's), or every 16,000 miles or 24 months (all XJ700 and XJ750-X models). If you just bought a used bike, we recommend you do a fluid change as soon as possible, because just like other routine maintenance tasks (besides engine oil changes), this is one that has very likely been ignored for the last 10-12 years!

    HINT: there’s a puddle of fluid under your wheel, in the area of the brake caliper. Unless the source of the leak is fully obvious, how can you tell if it’s brake fluid of fork oil? Try to mix a few drops of water into the fluid; fork oil (or engine/gear oil) won’t mix and the water will “ball up”; brake fluid will integrate with water and absorb the water.


    Fork oil capacities and recommended weights are as follows. The amounts listed are per fork tube:


    XJ550 Maxim: 272cc or 9.20 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    XJ550 Seca: 230cc or 7.78 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1980-81 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 262cc or 8.86 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982-84 XJ650 Maxim: 278cc or 9.40 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ650RJ Seca: 236cc or 7.98 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 400mm (15.75") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982 XJ650LJ Turbo: 238cc or 8.04 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 180mm (7.09") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ650LK Turbo: unknown.

    1985-86 XJ700 non-X: 383cc or 12.96 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1985-86 XJ700-X: 389cc or 13.16 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ750 Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. NOTE: owner's manual states that the fork oil capacity is 278cc (9.40 fluid ounces). It is unknown which measurement is correct.

    1981-83 XJ750 Seca: 309cc or 10.45 fluid ounces. 20W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 E-II Seca or 1984 XJ750RL Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 168mm (6.61") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ900RK Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 164mm (6.46") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982-84 XJ1100 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 210cc or 7.10 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 210mm (8.27") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: the above fork oil VOLUMES are for use only when using the stock fork springs. The use of aftermarket performance front fork coil springs will change those volumes, since aftermarket springs are thicker than stock----and thus displace more oil. Using the stock oil fluid VOLUME with aftermarket fork springs is a sure way to OVERFILL your forks, with the very real possibility of blowing out fork seals.


    Unlike with your engine oil, where a bit too much or too little oil volume in the crankcase is not really a significant concern, with fork oil, too much or too little can cause real problems (too much oil can result in blown oil seals and a stiff, harsh ride, while too little oil volume results in excessive foaming, a soft mushy ride with possible bottoming, and erratic fork performance and lots of front end "dive" upon braking).

    A better way to determine the amount of fork oil that is needed and necessary is via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL within the tubes.....sort of like measuring the oil level with a dipstick. Yamaha does not specify this level for all models; and in any case, if using aftermarket springs, the factory oil level recommendation is not always useful. The maximum oil level should be 5-1/2" (140mm) below the top of the inner fork tube, measured with all internal fork tube components installed EXCEPT FOR THE SPRINGS, and with the inner fork tube fully collapsed into the lower (outer) tube.

    In order to be as accurate as possible, we recommend the use of a suitable measuring device, such as the HCP1728 oil level syringe listed further below.

    And finally, the fork oil viscosity can be changed from the factory recommendations to give a softer or firmer ride.......the lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil, and the softer the ride (i.e. 5W oil is thinner than 10W which is thinner than 20W, etc.) In this regard, you would certainly be correct in thinking of fork oil as a suspension "tuning tool"! Note that a thicker oil viscosity will have much more effect on the fork "rebound" characteristics than it will on the fork compression dampening function.

    ffo3) Red Line Oil products line of SYNTHETIC FORK OILS are some of the best, highest-performance fork oils developed specifically for this purpose. They provide exceptional shear lubrication, are highly resistant to any viscosity changes, and provide excellent seal lubrication as well as very high anti-foaming properties. All of these oils are completely compatible with each other, which means that different weights can safely be mixed with each other to create "custom-weights" of fork oil for the utmost in suspension tuning flexibility. NOTE: oils, if mixed for a different viscosity, should be done in a large enough batch to provide enough oil for both front forks. You do NOT want to be running different oil viscosity's in the left and right fork tubes!

    Also, do not mix different brands, styles, or types of oils........you can only safely mix forks oils together from one manufacturer!

    Fork Tube Oil Level Gauges:

    HCP1728 Fork tube oil fluid level measurement GAUGE AND SYRINGE. This handy tool makes the measurement of the fork oil level easy and accurate. NOTE: the proper amount of fork oil is determined via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL (distance below the very top of the inner tube) rather than a volume AMOUNT of oil specification. Too little oil will make the ride mushy, while too much oil makes the ride harsh (and can blow out the oil seals!)
    $ 37.95




    ffl4) Aftermarket fork oil measurement GRADUATED CYLINDERS. The best way to measure the precise amount of fork oil fluid is via the use of these lab-quality measurement cylinders. Available in either transparent (clear) or translucent (cloudy) durable plastic construction, they all have easy-to-read scale numerals (milliliters) and feature a "non-wetting" inner surface coating that prevents the concave "meniscus" from forming at the top of the fluid, thus insuring a much more accurate level reading. Large bases insure stability while large spouts make "the pour" easy and prevent messy drips. Very useful device to have for front fork oil changes.

    XS1100 MODELS FORK TUBE PARTS:

    NOTE: items marked below in red are the parts typically needed when doing a basic fork system rebuild.

    A good visual review of the procedures needed for rebuilding these forks can be seen at:

    http://www.xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=8355.html

    And these incredible 3-D renderings of the inner workings of a forking system gives a great visualization of the internal components (it is based on the 1982-83 XJ650 Maxim forks):

    http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=29616.html


    XS1100 owners may also wish to note the procedure needed to separate the inner tubes from the lower tubes (the “battering ram” procedure) since these forks also use the slider bushings on the bottom of the chrome tubes as shown on these XJ900 forks:

    Inner Tube Gaiter Boots:

    Although not originally used on any XJ-series bikes, these accordion-pleated thick rubber boots fit into the area between the bottom of the steering underbracket and the top of the lower (outer) fork boots, covering and protecting this area from damage, while providing an "old-school" or cafe-racer type look. They are retained to the chrome tube itself (at their top end) via spring clips, and to the top of the lower fork tube via metal screw-clamps.

    HCP11420 Aftermarket fork tube gaiter boot LOWER RETAINING SPRING-CLAMP. Black powdercoated wire-spring type clamp has that old-time look and feel to it. Secure the lower end of the gaiter boot to the top of the lower (outer) fork tube. Fits all XJ-series models. Use 1 per tube, each:
    $ 14.95


    NOTE: gaiter boots normally do not require any type of retainer at their upper end, as the tight friction fit between the boot opening and the chrome tube prevents migration of the boot. If movement seems to occur, then we recommend the use of thin, black electrical wire ties to cinch the boot flange tightly to the tube.

    Oil Seals:

    NOTE: when installing oil seals, make sure that the area where the seal will fit into is clean, free of any nicks and burrs, and that the lower tube metal slide bushing is fully seated. Oil seals install with the large opening facing down, into the tube, and on most seals, the small cast lettering and numbering on the seal faces upwards.

    Seals are designed to be installed with a seal driver of some type, although a properly sized piece of hard plastic tubing, perhaps with a proper sized metal washer on top of the seal to "spread the load", works as well. Always make sure that oil seals are fully seated and not damaged or installed in a crooked or cocked manner.

    Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

    Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

    While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

    Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

    Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

    FORK OIL:

    Unlike motor oil or gear oil, fork oil's major purpose is not lubrication.....rather, it acts as part of the suspension system, providing both damping and rebound control functions. The different "weight" or viscosity of fork oils allows you to modify the ride and handling characteristics of your bike in a fairly simple way.

    And yes, it IS a lubricant also!

    Although many people----including, unbelievably, Yamaha itself----recommends the use of engine motor oil as a substitute for fork oil, this is not a very good idea. Engine oils (or any multi-viscosity oil) uses additives and detergents that, while wonderful in for their intended purposes inside an engine block, tranny case, or rear drive unit, are not such a good idea inside forks. Forks operate at a much lower temperature and temperature RANGE than engine and drivetrains do, and thus do not need all those additives. And fork oil also tends to contain higher percentages of molybdenum disulfide and anti-foaming agents than engine or gear oil, both of which are very important to proper fork operation.

    As a small example.......most motor oils are of a multi-viscosity nature (such as 10W30) which change their viscosity in relation to their temperature (thin when cool, thicker as they warm). A very necessary and useful feature for an engine, where you do not want your oil thinning out as the engine warms up. Not such a good idea for your suspension----unless for some reason you WANT your handling characteristics to change (get stiffer) as the forks heat up!


    Proper fork oil levels and scheduled change intervals are important for fork performance and fork part longevity.....water contamination, as well as particulate wear will accumulate in fork oil, and since there is no oil filtering mechanism within your forks, the only way to get the grit and gunk out (before it chews up your oil seals and slider bearings!) is to change your fork fluid regularly. Yamaha recommends a fork fluid change every 10,000 miles or 24 months (all models except XJ700's), or every 16,000 miles or 24 months (all XJ700 and XJ750-X models). If you just bought a used bike, we recommend you do a fluid change as soon as possible, because just like other routine maintenance tasks (besides engine oil changes), this is one that has very likely been ignored for the last 10-12 years!

    HINT: there’s a puddle of fluid under your wheel, in the area of the brake caliper. Unless the source of the leak is fully obvious, how can you tell if it’s brake fluid of fork oil? Try to mix a few drops of water into the fluid; fork oil (or engine/gear oil) won’t mix and the water will “ball up”; brake fluid will integrate with water and absorb the water.


    Fork oil capacities and recommended weights are as follows. The amounts listed are per fork tube:


    XJ550 Maxim: 272cc or 9.20 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    XJ550 Seca: 230cc or 7.78 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1980-81 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 262cc or 8.86 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982-84 XJ650 Maxim: 278cc or 9.40 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ650RJ Seca: 236cc or 7.98 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 400mm (15.75") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982 XJ650LJ Turbo: 238cc or 8.04 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 180mm (7.09") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ650LK Turbo: unknown.

    1985-86 XJ700 non-X: 383cc or 12.96 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1985-86 XJ700-X: 389cc or 13.16 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ750 Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. NOTE: owner's manual states that the fork oil capacity is 278cc (9.40 fluid ounces). It is unknown which measurement is correct.

    1981-83 XJ750 Seca: 309cc or 10.45 fluid ounces. 20W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 E-II Seca or 1984 XJ750RL Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 168mm (6.61") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ900RK Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 164mm (6.46") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982-84 XJ1100 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 210cc or 7.10 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 210mm (8.27") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: the above fork oil VOLUMES are for use only when using the stock fork springs. The use of aftermarket performance front fork coil springs will change those volumes, since aftermarket springs are thicker than stock----and thus displace more oil. Using the stock oil fluid VOLUME with aftermarket fork springs is a sure way to OVERFILL your forks, with the very real possibility of blowing out fork seals.


    Unlike with your engine oil, where a bit too much or too little oil volume in the crankcase is not really a significant concern, with fork oil, too much or too little can cause real problems (too much oil can result in blown oil seals and a stiff, harsh ride, while too little oil volume results in excessive foaming, a soft mushy ride with possible bottoming, and erratic fork performance and lots of front end "dive" upon braking).

    A better way to determine the amount of fork oil that is needed and necessary is via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL within the tubes.....sort of like measuring the oil level with a dipstick. Yamaha does not specify this level for all models; and in any case, if using aftermarket springs, the factory oil level recommendation is not always useful. The maximum oil level should be 5-1/2" (140mm) below the top of the inner fork tube, measured with all internal fork tube components installed EXCEPT FOR THE SPRINGS, and with the inner fork tube fully collapsed into the lower (outer) tube.

    In order to be as accurate as possible, we recommend the use of a suitable measuring device, such as the HCP1728 oil level syringe listed further below.

    And finally, the fork oil viscosity can be changed from the factory recommendations to give a softer or firmer ride.......the lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil, and the softer the ride (i.e. 5W oil is thinner than 10W which is thinner than 20W, etc.) In this regard, you would certainly be correct in thinking of fork oil as a suspension "tuning tool"! Note that a thicker oil viscosity will have much more effect on the fork "rebound" characteristics than it will on the fork compression dampening function.

    ffo3) Red Line Oil products line of SYNTHETIC FORK OILS are some of the best, highest-performance fork oils developed specifically for this purpose. They provide exceptional shear lubrication, are highly resistant to any viscosity changes, and provide excellent seal lubrication as well as very high anti-foaming properties. All of these oils are completely compatible with each other, which means that different weights can safely be mixed with each other to create "custom-weights" of fork oil for the utmost in suspension tuning flexibility. NOTE: oils, if mixed for a different viscosity, should be done in a large enough batch to provide enough oil for both front forks. You do NOT want to be running different oil viscosity's in the left and right fork tubes!

    Also, do not mix different brands, styles, or types of oils........you can only safely mix forks oils together from one manufacturer!

    STEERING/SUSPENSION:

    --Front Suspension: Fork Oil and Tools.


    FORK OIL:

    Unlike motor oil or gear oil, fork oil's major purpose is not lubrication.....rather, it acts as part of the suspension system, providing both damping and rebound control functions. The different "weight" or viscosity of fork oils allows you to modify the ride and handling characteristics of your bike in a fairly simple way.

    And yes, it IS a lubricant also!

    Although many people----including, unbelievably, Yamaha itself----recommends the use of engine motor oil as a substitute for fork oil, this is not a very good idea. Engine oils (or any multi-viscosity oil) uses additives and detergents that, while wonderful in for their intended purposes inside an engine block, tranny case, or rear drive unit, are not such a good idea inside forks. Forks operate at a much lower temperature and temperature RANGE than engine and drivetrains do, and thus do not need all those additives. And fork oil also tends to contain higher percentages of molybdenum disulfide and anti-foaming agents than engine or gear oil, both of which are very important to proper fork operation.

    As a small example.......most motor oils are of a multi-viscosity nature (such as 10W30) which change their viscosity in relation to their temperature (thin when cool, thicker as they warm). A very necessary and useful feature for an engine, where you do not want your oil thinning out as the engine warms up. Not such a good idea for your suspension----unless for some reason you WANT your handling characteristics to change (get stiffer) as the forks heat up!


    Proper fork oil levels and scheduled change intervals are important for fork performance and fork part longevity.....water contamination, as well as particulate wear will accumulate in fork oil, and since there is no oil filtering mechanism within your forks, the only way to get the grit and gunk out (before it chews up your oil seals and slider bearings!) is to change your fork fluid regularly. Yamaha recommends a fork fluid change every 10,000 miles or 24 months (all models except XJ700's), or every 16,000 miles or 24 months (all XJ700 and XJ750-X models). If you just bought a used bike, we recommend you do a fluid change as soon as possible, because just like other routine maintenance tasks (besides engine oil changes), this is one that has very likely been ignored for the last 10-12 years!

    HINT: there's a puddle of fluid under your wheel, in the area of the brake caliper. Unless the source of the leak is fully obvious, how can you tell if it's brake fluid of fork oil? Try to mix a few drops of water into the fluid; fork oil (or engine/gear oil) won't mix and the water will "ball up"; brake fluid will integrate with water and absorb the water.


    Fork oil capacities and recommended weights are as follows. The amounts listed are per fork tube:


    XJ550 Maxim: 272cc or 9.20 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    XJ550 Seca: 230cc or 7.78 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1980-81 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 262cc or 8.86 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982-84 XJ650 Maxim: 278cc or 9.40 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ650RJ Seca: 236cc or 7.98 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 400mm (15.75") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982 XJ650LJ Turbo: 238cc or 8.04 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 180mm (7.09") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ650LK Turbo: unknown.

    1985-86 XJ700 non-X: 383cc or 12.96 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1985-86 XJ700-X: 389cc or 13.16 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1982 XJ750 Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. NOTE: owner's manual states that the fork oil capacity is 278cc (9.40 fluid ounces). It is unknown which measurement is correct.

    1981-83 XJ750 Seca: 309cc or 10.45 fluid ounces. 20W fork oil.

    1983 XJ750 E-II Seca or 1984 XJ750RL Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 168mm (6.61") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1983 XJ900RK Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 164mm (6.46") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

    1982-84 XJ1100 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 210cc or 7.10 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 210mm (8.27") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.


    IMPORTANT NOTE: the above fork oil VOLUMES are for use only when using the stock fork springs. The use of aftermarket performance front fork coil springs will change those volumes, since aftermarket springs are thicker than stock----and thus displace more oil. Using the stock oil fluid VOLUME with aftermarket fork springs is a sure way to OVERFILL your forks, with the very real possibility of blowing out fork seals.


    Unlike with your engine oil, where a bit too much or too little oil volume in the crankcase is not really a significant concern, with fork oil, too much or too little can cause real problems (too much oil can result in blown oil seals and a stiff, harsh ride, while too little oil volume results in excessive foaming, a soft mushy ride with possible bottoming, and erratic fork performance and lots of front end "dive" upon braking).

    A better way to determine the amount of fork oil that is needed and necessary is via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL within the tubes.....sort of like measuring the oil level with a dipstick. Yamaha does not specify this level for all models; and in any case, if using aftermarket springs, the factory oil level recommendation is not always useful. The maximum oil level should be 5-1/2" (140mm) below the top of the inner fork tube, measured with all internal fork tube components installed EXCEPT FOR THE SPRINGS, and with the inner fork tube fully collapsed into the lower (outer) tube.

    In order to be as accurate as possible, we recommend the use of a suitable measuring device, such as the HCP1728 oil level syringe listed further below.

    And finally, the fork oil viscosity can be changed from the factory recommendations to give a softer or firmer ride.......the lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil, and the softer the ride (i.e. 5W oil is thinner than 10W which is thinner than 20W, etc.) In this regard, you would certainly be correct in thinking of fork oil as a suspension "tuning tool"! Note that a thicker oil viscosity will have much more effect on the fork "rebound" characteristics than it will on the fork compression dampening function.

    A great primer on "tuning" your forks via adjusting the oil levels can be seen at:

Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    ffo3) Red Line Oil products line of SYNTHETIC FORK OILS are some of the best, highest-performance fork oils developed specifically for this purpose. They provide exceptional shear lubrication, are highly resistant to any viscosity changes, and provide excellent seal lubrication as well as very high anti-foaming properties. All of these oils are completely compatible with each other, which means that different weights can safely be mixed with each other to create "custom-weights" of fork oil for the utmost in suspension tuning flexibility. NOTE: oils, if mixed for a different viscosity, should be done in a large enough batch to provide enough oil for both front forks. You do NOT want to be running different oil viscosity's in the left and right fork tubes!

    Also, do not mix different brands, styles, or types of oils........you can only safely mix forks oils together from one manufacturer!

    Fork Tube Oil Level Gauges:

    HCP1728 Fork tube oil fluid level measurement GAUGE AND SYRINGE. This handy tool makes the measurement of the fork oil level easy and accurate. NOTE: the proper amount of fork oil is determined via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL (distance below the very top of the inner tube) rather than a volume AMOUNT of oil specification.

    ffl4) Aftermarket fork oil measurement GRADUATED CYLINDERS. The best way to measure the precise amount of fork oil fluid is via the use of these lab-quality measurement cylinders. Available in either transparent (clear) or translucent (cloudy) durable plastic construction, they all have easy-to-read scale numerals (milliliters) and feature a "non-wetting" inner surface coating that prevents the concave "meniscus" from forming at the top of the fluid, thus insuring a much more accurate level reading. Large bases insure stability while large spouts make "the pour" easy and prevent messy drips. Very useful device to have for front fork oil changes.

    Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

    Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

    While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

    Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

    Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    STEERING/SUSPENSION:

    --Rear Suspension: Swingarm parts.


    REAR SUSPENSION:

    REBUILT SWINGARMS:

    Your swingarm takes quite a bit of abuse, being down there “in the dirt” all the time, and having to keep the entire rear suspension in line and marching on the straight -and-narrow. The years take their toll: they get off center due to lack of maintenance/adjustment, and the bushings or bearings wear and get a bit sloppy, and then just lose their ability to keep the rear tire in proper alignment. With such a long distance (lever) between the pivot point of the swingarm to the frame and the rear wheel, almost any movement or wiggle is going to result in a bike that is less than rock-solid predictable, and can also leads to front-end steering shimmy or high-speed shake…..something that you really want to avoid!

    We make attending to the needs of this part easy with both complete rebuilt swingarms or a full complement of rebuild components to properly help you “set your swingarm straight”! NOTE: the replacement of swingarm bushings (XJ550 models) or the swingarm bearings (all shaft-drive models) require proper-sized drifts to remove and install the new components, and in the case of shaft-drive swingarms, a 3-jaw bearing/bushing puller will most likely be required to remove the old races. Do not install new bearings into original races (shaft-drive models), they will wear out quickly!

    SWINGARM REBUILD PARTS:

    sa2) Over the years, the swingarm bearings and pivot shaft parts take a beating....when was the last time you (or anyone you know) ever lubricated them or even checked them for wear and play? Well, wear they do, and then they start moving around under load and cornering, leading to vibrations, wandering during straight-line riding, and other unnecessary, unneeded, unwanted, and undesirable (not to mention unsafe) characteristics and conditions. Wow, that a lot of "un's". Oh well.

    In fact, if your bike rides "rock hard stiff" in the rear end, what you may find is not only worn-out rear shock absorbers, but easily overlooked is worn or even partially seized swingarm pivots and bearings. Since swingarm lubrication and maintenance is probably THE most overlooked aspect of preventative maintenance (do you know anyone who has ever done it?), it's a good bet that you swingarm could be silently suffering the same fate, too.....

    The factory service interval for the repacking of the swingarm pivot bearings is every 10,000 miles (XJ550, XJ650, 1981-83 XJ750, and XJ1100 models) or every 16,000 miles (XJ700, XJ750-X, XJ750RL, and XJ900 models)

    Not to worry! We've got all the major and minor parts that you'll need to refresh, restore, rejuvenate, renew, and other properly rebuild your oft-neglected swingarm system.

    NOTE: the replacement of swingarm bushings (XJ550 models) or the swingarm bearings (all shaft-drive models) require proper-sized drifts to remove and install the new components, and in the case of shaft-drive swingarms, a 2- or 3-jaw bearing/bushing puller will most likely be required to remove the old races. Do not install new bearings into old races, they will wear out quickly! Here is one way to perform the race removal task on shaft-drive swingarms:

    https://www.xjbikes.com/forums/threads/swing-arm-bearing-race-replacement.79492



    XJ550 models:

    XJ550 models use a long PIVOT SHAFT BOLT, that runs through a central PIVOT TUBE, which is support by a pair of BUSHING - BEARINGS, each of which are retained by use of a THRUST SHIM and thrust shim COVER PLATE. The whole shooting match is held together by a NUT that threads onto the right side of the pivot bolt.

    XJ550 owners can upgrade their rear swingarm plastic bushings with replacement high-performance bronze bushings or needle roller bearings for a silky smooth, much more stable response.

    SWINGARM TOOLS:

    Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

    Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

    While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

    Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

    Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    HCP10331 Aftermarket standard-duty PENETRATING LUBRICANT, in a generous 16-ounce aerosol can. Oil-based lubricant penetrates down into spaces of one-millionth of an inch to handle the most reluctant seizures. Actually dissolves the rust and corrosion that causes the seizure; lubricates and displaces moisture to prevent rust re-formation. This product is what we use and recommend for freeing stuck fork tube cap bolts and other such challenging fasteners.
    $ 44.95

    HCP11974 Aftermarket super-duty PENETRATING LUBRICANT, in a generous 13-ounce aerosol can. Same as our standard-duty formula above, but also includes graphite to not only enhance and speed up the penetrant action, but also gets down into the pores of the metal for the greatest possible lubrication possible. The cat's-meow of penetrating fluids, can even be used to un-seize frozen engines or as an engine assembly lube! This fluid is also a great choice for use as a drive cable lubricant.
    $ 46.95

    HCP10333 Aftermarket extreme-duty PENETRATING LUBRICANT, in a generous 16-ounce aerosol can. Same as our standard-duty formula above, but also includes liquid silicone to enhance and speed up the penetrant action. This product is also an exceptional choice for use as a control-cable lubricant.
    $ 47.95



    Assembly Fluids and Lubricants:

    HCP8608 Aftermarket gear and bearing synthetic RED MOLY GREASE. High temperature, water resistant, extreme pressure and high-load strength synthetic organic moly grease is far superior to black moly disulfide (petroleum-based) products. Use on steering neck bearings, wheel bearings, starter motor gears, and swingarm bearings. 14 oz. tube.
    $ 29.95


    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    HCP20860 Aftermarket industrial-strength ASSEMBLY LUBE, in a standard 12-ounce aerosol can. Heavy-duty formula includes graphite to not only enhance and speed up the penetrant action, but also gets down into the pores of the metal for the greatest possible lubrication possible. Won't wash away, protect against rust and corrosion, stable from 0-degrees up to 250-F. This fluid is also a great choice for use as a drive cable lubricant.
    $ 41.95

    HCP20862 Aftermarket super-duty ASSEMBLY LUBE, in a generous 10-ounce aerosol can. The cat's-meow of lubricants, infused with pure moly disulfide, it goes on wet and then dries in 1-2 hours to a super-slick, high-pressure, hi-temp, bearing-like finish which provides the ultimate level of protection. Prevents rust and corrosion, won't wash off, throw off, and won't attract dust or dirt. Surfaces must be clean and dry of previous oils, etc. before application. Can even be used as an engine, tranny, and drivetrain assembly lube!
    $ 44.95

    HCP20863 Aftermarket super-duty GRAPHITE LUBE, in a generous 10-ounce aerosol can. The 800-pound gorilla of lubricants, it's infused with pure graphite, goes on wet, and then dries in 10 minutes to a super-slick, high-pressure, bearing-like finish which provides the ultimate level of protection. Prevents rust, won't wash off, throw off, and won't attract dust or dirt. Surfaces must be clean and dry of previous oils, etc. before application. Can be used as an engine assembly lube, bearing or bushing pre-lube, great for lock cylinders, and all metallic sliding surfaces. Use where dusty or dirty conditions render oil-based lubricants ineffective or undesirable.
    $ 42.95



    Swingarm Tools:

    HCP11336 Aftermarket standard depth 27mm SOCKET, used to remove your swingarm pivot bolt and nut on all XJ650 - XJ1100 models, and the rear axle castle nut on XJ1100 and XS1100 models. Chrome-plated, 6-point, 1/2" drive.

Most people have the standard 3/8" drive ratchet wrenches in their tool kits already, and the larger 1/2" drive sockets can be used with those ratchets with this converter/adapter. Chrome-plated, 1/2" male drive, 3/8" female receiver.

    STEERING/SUSPENSION:

    --Rear Suspension: Shock Absorbers, hardware, etc.




    SHOCK ABSORBERS:

    Well, let's face it, it's been 25-30 years since your bike was first sold and operated, and your rear SHOCK ABSORBERS:

    a) were not all that great to begin with, and....
    b) pretty much completely worn out by now.

    Factory-installed motorcycle shock absorbers cannot always be considered top-of-the-line from either performance, comfort, or endurance standpoints----and of course, this is a typical situation for most mass-production vehicles, as they end up being a "compromise" product that will (hopefully) suit "all buyers, in all conditions" and are usually selected for production bikes with an eye towards cost efficiency and savings (the exception being the original XJ900RK Seca rear shocks, which ARE a true high-performance design).

    Stock fluid- or gas-filled, spring-assisted shock absorbers are good for about 10,000 to 20,000 miles of typical use before they are ready for that large XJ graveyard in the sky.

    Of course, if you want to go thru the effort, stock shocks can be dis-assembled and rebuilt, here's how:









    https://xs11.club/forum/idle-talk-forum/xs11-xj11-discussion/13783-xj1100-rear-shock-rebuild



    OEM Shock Absorbers:

    HCP25860 OEM rear SHOCK ABSORBER, brand new unit exactly replaces the original. This mono-shock unit includes the upper bushing, both lower bushings, the lower oil seals, black coil spring, and the rubber mud guard. Lower mounting collars and both upper and lower mounting hardware (bolt, washer, nut) are not included. NOTE: this shock has the same valving (and thus performance and road feel) as the original shock, and will leave the rear suspension at the original height. For all 1992-98 XJ600 Seca II models. Each:
    $ 689.95

    HCP25847 Aftermarket standard-performance rear SHOCK ABSORBER, brand new unit will properly replace the original. This mono-shock unit includes the upper bushing, both lower bushings, and the lower oil seals. The lower rubber mud guard, the lower mounting collars, and both upper and lower mounting hardware (bolt, washer, nut) are not included. NOTE: this shock has slightly stiffer valving and spring rate compared to the original shock (and thus offers slightly more performance and control than the original), and will leave the rear suspension at the original height. For all 1992-98 XJ600 Seca II models. Each:
    $ 489.95

    HCP25848 Aftermarket standard-performance rear SHOCK ABSORBER, brand new unit will properly replace the original. This mono-shock unit includes the upper bushing, both lower bushings, the lower oil seals, and the black coil spring. The lower rubber mud guard, the lower mounting collars, and both upper and lower mounting hardware (bolt, washer, nut) are not included. NOTE: this shock has slightly stiffer valving and spring rate compared to the original shock (and thus offers slightly more performance and control than the original), and has a slightly longer length than original and thus will raise the rear suspension by about 5/8” higher than stock. For all 1992-98 XJ600 Seca II models. Each:
    $ 499.95

    HCP25857 Aftermarket high-performance rear SHOCK ABSORBER, brand new unit will properly replace the original. This mono-shock unit includes the upper bushing, both lower bushings, the lower oil seals, and a red coil spring. The lower rubber mud guard, the lower mounting collars, and both upper and lower mounting hardware (bolt, washer, nut) are not included. NOTE: this shock has much stiffer valving and spring rate compared to the original shock (and thus offers a much firmer feel / performance and control than the original), has a slightly longer length, and will allow for more suspension travel than than original. It will raise the rear suspension by about 3/4” to 1" higher than stock. This shock has enough carrying capacity and can be adjusted for both single and 2-up riding (or extra gear) and still maintain its performance. Single riders should initially try setting #3, while 2-up riders may prefer the #6 or #7 setting (your stock adjuster tool can be used, and it’s recommended that you set it to the lowest preload setting before installation to make fitment easier). Adequate ground clearance for the rear tire when on the centerstand is maintained. Due to the aggressiveness of this shock’s performance over stock, it is recommended that you upgrade your front fork springs to our HCP19477 progressive coil springs or increase the viscosity of your fork fluid (to 15W or 20W) to get a balanced front/rear suspension tune when using these shocks. Fits all 1992-98 XJ600 Seca II models. Each:
    $ 449.95




    HCP5692 OEM rear SHOCK ABSORBER, brand new replacement unit exactly replaces the original.

Complete, assembled shocks come with the springs and top cap. For all XJ750 Seca models. Each:
    $ discontinued

    HCP5692SET OEM rear SHOCK ABSORBERS, pair:
    $ discontinued




    HCP5716 OEM rear SHOCK ABSORBER, brand new replacement unit exactly replaces the original.

    rsh2) Original rear shock absorber MOUNTING HARDWARE perfectly replaces the missing, damaged, or rusted originals.

    NOTE: on some models, you may come across the unfortunate situation of finding the upper shock mounting stud damaged, removed, or otherwise rendered un-usuable. Here is a solution to this dilemma:

    Aftermarket Shock Absorbers:

    Okay, shocks are pretty simple devices----as are coil springs----and although a coil spring wrapped around a shock absorber is still called a "shock absorber" (go figure!), we all realize that although each component "does its own thing", they each work with and complement each other in determining not just the ride quality, but also the performance (handling, braking, and acceleration) characteristics of the bike.

    If it's time for a newly shocking experience, then lucky for you, because shock absorber technology and performance has improved dramatically since these bikes were built.


    SPRINGS: actually come in two basic styles, Linear Resistance and Progressive Resistance. Resistance is merely the ability of the spring to "resist" compression given a load acting on it.

    A spring with linear resistance characteristics will deflect equally in proportion to the load on it: for example, put a hypothetical linear spring under a 100-pound load, and it will compress by 1" in overall length. Put 200-pounds of weight on it, and it compresses a total of 2 inches; 300-pounds, 3" of compression, etc. That's a linear spring, a 1-to-1 straight-line relationship between load (weight) and compression.

    No factory springs are linear though......


    Because although a linear spring has very predictable deflection characteristics, they ride and handle terribly. All factory XJ springs are what are known as "progressive springs", meaning that it takes additional loading for each incremental inch of compression. So for example, a progressively-wound spring may still deflect 1" under the first 100-pounds of weight, but a 200-pound load will only deflect it a total of 1-3/4", while a 300-pound load may only result in a 2-3/8" compression. Equal additional amounts of weight (load) result in less and less compression......in other words, the spring gets PROGRESSIVELY harder to compress as the load increases.

    This increased resistance as the load increases results in a much more usable amount of control as applied to a shock absorber, as well as a much better ride quality. The springs (and combined spring/shock) can be really "soft" for absorbing small dips and bumps, and then get progressively stiffer as the load increases, as happens during spirited cornering, braking, or acceleration. In addition, as long as the progression of the spring resistance is increased in a continual manner---with no great leaps or surges in resistance rates throughout the entire range of spring travel---then it makes for a very predictable response, which is incredibly important for driver safety and confidence.

    Visually, you can look at a spring and tell whether it's a linear or progressive spring by observing the distance between adjacent coil windings: linear springs have equal spacing between all coils, top to bottom, while progressive-resistance springs having a different spacing between adjacent coils as you observe the entire spring. And, the tighter the spacing between the coils, the more the resistance....which is why the coils become much closer together as you approach the ends of a progressively-wound spring.


    SHOCK ABSORBERS: although many people think of a shock absorber as just "another kind of spring"----and although there is some truth to that thought----shock absorbers not only provide a supplementary spring-like quality, but they also perform the unique function of providing an "anti-spring" or "counter-spring" function that helps, once again, to provide a level of control to the suspension that is so important.


    What happens when a spring is compressed? It gains tension, stores the energy, and it resists the load and actually "fights against the load"---it wants to "snap back" to its original (or even past its original) at-rest position. This is NOT an endearing trait of a coil spring when used in a suspension....it makes the suspension into somewhat of a pogo-stick, boing-boing-boing until it finally comes to rest (and since a suspension, when in use while riding on anything except a perfectly flat, smooth surface, with absolutely zero braking or acceleration occurring, is ALWAYS involved in some type of action).

    Shock absorbers to the rescue! By its design, a shock absorber, via a variety of engineering design details, not only resists the compression force (as a spring does), but the shock absorber then "fights back" against the tendency of a coiled, tensed spring to want to snap instantly back into the at-rest spring position. By forcing fluid and sometimes gas through a series of valves and orifices, the shock absorber SLOWS DOWN this "instant rebound" tendency of the spring, again adding the measure of control and predictability that enhances ride quality, performance, and safety.


    TOGETHER, IN PERFECT HARMONY: what "shock absorber" engineers strive for is the balance between these two competing forces and components, in order to provide the best of all worlds. By studying, testing, and tweaking the variables of spring size, progressive spring rates, shock barrel size, types of fluid and valving within the shock, etc., they seek to provide the best overall combination. And as with anything in life, there are compromises, and there are expenses involved when trying to increase the overall performance level of a "shock". A well-designed and performing shock is the result of all these types of efforts and expenses, and is as much of an art as it is science.

    Two common features that can be used to increase the performance of a shock----and, which determines how much you can "custom-tune" the performance of a given shock to your individual bike, riding style, and personal preferences and characteristics----is via the use of spring "pre-load" adjusters and shock "rebound dampening" adjusters.


    Springs can benefit by having their "load" pre-tensioned, rather than being set at a fully at-rest position. The spring pre-load adjuster, at the bottom of the shock tube, allows the user (via a special shock "spanner wrench") to increase or decrease the amount of pre-loaded tension on the spring. ALL original and aftermarket shocks have these pre-load adjusters, although "high performance" shocks normally have more pre-load positions available than less expensive versions.

    Shocks can be enhanced through the addition of a variable, user-adjustable "rebound damper control" mechanism---usually in the form of a small thumbwheel adjuster that clicks into looser or stiffer rebound-resistance positions. Remember, this adjuster on the shock body controls how strongly the internal shock valving "fights back" against a compressed, tensioned spring's attempt to jump back as quickly as possible to its relaxed state.


    Rebound dampening controls are normally only found on higher-performance (and thus more expensive) shock absorbers. For example, all XJ550, all XJ650 (except Turbo), and all XJ700 models did NOT have rebound adjusters on the factory shocks, while all other models did have a user-controllable rebound adjustment mechanism.


    Of course, the more user controllability, the better, but at a price....and not just in the initial purchase price. "Dialing in" a high-performance shock, through trial-and-testing of all the different combinations of spring pre-loads and shock rebound rates, can be a time consuming (but very important and vast-improvement-when-done) type of task. For example, while the 12-Series, 14-Series, and 412-Series of Progressive Suspension shocks all feature a 4-position spring tension pre-load adjuster, they have NO shock rebound dampening adjustment available, at all.


    But the 418-Series of Progressive Suspension shocks have both a 4-position spring pre-load adjuster AND a 5-position shock rebound adjuster....giving a total of (5 x 4 = ) 20 different combinations of spring pre-load and shock rebound characteristics. Sorting through all of them is going to take a full afternoon, adjusting one, then the other, and going out on a repeatable "test-track" type of ride to see how the bike performs under all sorts of different conditions at each setting(s) combination, and which one you like the most.


    But like we said, when you get it "right", you'll know it, you'll feel it, and you'll probably realize that it was well worth your efforts!


    WARNING: although there are a number of extremely low-dollar "generic" shock absorbers that are available at large retailers, we caution you that such shock absorbers are not specifically valved, nor are their springs designed for the characteristics of XJ-series bikes (or, really, for ANY bikes). They are inexpensive because they are generic, and although that keeps their cost down, it also tends to keep their performance and durability way down, too.


    All shock absorbers (except for the 12-Series and 14-Series shocks) are sold as fully assembled pairs, and come with all mounting adapters and bushings, as well as illustrated mounting instructions. You will be pleasantly, and perhaps amazingly surprised, just how much of a difference a set of true performance shock absorbers will make in the ride and handling quality of your bike.

    NOTE: Progressive recommends the use of their HEAVY DUTY shock absorbers for single riders who weigh more than 200 pounds, or if most of your riding is done with a passenger or with heavy loads (such as in saddlebags, etc.).


    TIP: Rear suspension SAG is an important and almost-always overlooked factor in determining ride quality and rear suspension performance (handling and ride quality). Incorrectly set sag not only effects the performance of the shock, but also of your front forks because as the ride height in the rear changes, the amount and rate of how the weight of the bike is transferred to the front forks changes, too. Sag can (and should be) adjusted whenever you install new shocks on your bike, or, if it’s never been checked and adjusted before, now would be a good time to do it!

    Progressive Suspension Shock Absorbers:

    Progressive Suspension has been making motorcycle shock absorbers for over 20 years and is acknowledged as one of the leaders in the industry. We are now offering their line of replacement shock absorbers that not only perform exceptionally well----and are designed specifically for these model bikes----but also come in a variety of performance levels to fit almost any budget.


    14-Series: are the most economical shock in the Progressive Suspension line, and feature small-body "vintage" style shock bodies as used originally on all XJ550 and XJ650 (except Turbo) models. Shock bodies are black, and then you have a choice of either black or chrome springs (in standard or heavy-duty versions) . These classic 14-Series shocks feature a 4-position spring pre-load cam-adjuster, velocity-sensitive multi-stage valving, and come with a full assortment of installation bushings, a packet of adjuster grease, the cam adjuster tool, and complete installation instructions. These shocks provide an affordable alternative to replace your original worn-out shocks with while getting the great quality of the Progressive brand!

    As with the 12-Series shocks below, these 14-Series shock absorbers are just the shock body, so you'll also need to order (and install) the appropriate coil springs to be used with the bodies. Installation is fairly simple, and involves sliding the spring over an extended shock body and then compressing the spring (using your body weight) until the retainer clip can be installed. The heavy-duty springs may require some extra weight to compress enough to install the retainer, or you can use the tried-and-true "tourniquet" technique using some strong clothesline and a straight bar of some type and using the bar to twist the clothesline, thus compressing the spring.

    NOTE: Customer experience and use seems to indicate that use of the 14-Series standard-duty springs on all XJ550 models and the heavy-duty springs on the all XJ650 models seems to provide the best level of performance and handling.

    Shown below are the 12-Series shocks, which are basically identical in appearance to these 14-Series shocks:

    Rust Removal and Prevention Fluids:

    rr4) Concentrated RUST REMOVER magically dissolves rust on all iron-based metals. Spray or wipe directly onto rusty parts, or immerse the items in a container full of this solution (diluted), let it work, then rinse off. Highly concentrated, easy to use, leaves the metal surfaces grease-free and ready for further processing or finishing. GREAT FOR DE-RUSTING THE INSIDE OF GAS TANKS!

    NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

    HCP12358 Aftermarket RUST DESTROYER FLUID, in a 16-ounce plastic bottle. Best to transfer into an old windex spray bottle (etc.) and use with a spray nozzle. After use, it is recommend that the de-rusted parts be immediately painted (or similar) or coated with fogging oil, lubricant, or other surface finish to prevent flash surface-rusting of the newly cleaned parts. Each:

    Here are a few other good ways to de-rust metal products:
