XJ4ever parts & service

My parts arrived today very quickly and as usual the email correspondence was thorough and efficient. The neutral safety switch should be just the ticket, and it was great to get the other gaskets and hardware while I was at it.

Thanks, Len!!!

 

Thanks, thanks, thanks, and everyone is surely welcome! I appreciate your business and dedications to keeping your bikes in proper condition!!

 

wonderful! thanks for the info..

I've ordered over $1000 in parts from Len, and they've gotten here quick, safe, and correct! Helping to make sure that you're ordering the right stuff is a serious help when you've got such an old bike, and he's a genius at it.

Thanks again, Len!

 

I had a part that i ordered from Len and it was faulty. I emailed len and told him what was going on, he email back with in minutes, agreed it was a bad part mailed the replacement out and i had it within 3 days, over the weekend!!! It is nice to deal with someone online, that you never talk to or see but always gets right back to you and takes care of you!!!!

 

Thanks everyone! I appreciate your business!!

 

Very knowledgeable, goes above and beyond this guy. He has gotten me back on the road now 3 times in just a couple months.

Sure you can get some parts elsewhere but can you ask a million questions about them and get answers?

Only with Chacal.

 

Got my Yics tool today from chacal, 10 days from US to Oz, cheapest postage, a happy customer.

 

Once again, I am totally in awe of chacal and his customer service.

I ordered parts on a Friday and received them on Monday. That's fast shipping! Very helpful in all my nagging questions and concerns, quick with a joke and he'll light up your smoke and say "Man, what are you doing here...."

Okay, that last bit was part of a song, but chacal really is the best!

 

I gotta tell ya, 7 days from the time I mailed the payment to the time I had the carbs in hand......exactly as described.

Yep, I"ll be back.

Len got this down to a science.

 

THANKS LEN, FOR YOUR TOP NOTCH SERVICE AND PARTS !!! A PERSON WOULD BE MAKING A BIG MISTAKE TO GO ANY WHERE ELSE !!!!!

THANKS

Took 10 days to get my order up to The Great White North. I thought Len must have messed up my order as I was expecting the valve cover gasket to be packaged flat. I was wrong. Apparently you can fold a rubber gasket up into a smaller package. Len did mess me up though. The package of 16 lock washers actually contained 17 washers. Made me double and triple check that I had a washer on each screw.

Great service! Don't know what we'd do without you!

 

I need to make a comment about xjbikes.com...

I've been into 4 Los Angeles area Yamaha dealers asking questions about my XJ750 Seca:
NOT ONE PERSON HAS EVERY WORKED ON A YAMAHA XJ. Further, none of them really knew anything about how the bikes are built from just a mere knowledge basis.

I have not found any other place where you can write to the parts guy, he has the answer AND will send pictures or blogs that discuss the very problem. (Not to take awy from others, Rick Massey knows his XJ's as well)

So I order parts from Chacal (Len) at at a better price than any dealer or other bike parts website. The parts shipped friday by USPS (cheapest) and were in my hands monday at noon...can't beat it.

I would encourage every XJ owner out there to support Len and xjbikes.com.

Sincerely, Greg
1982 XJ750 Seca: from barn basket to road worthy

 

I'm in the same boat. I just ordered a set of parts to do a front fork rebuild on Friday. Monday afternoon my parts were waiting for me.

Made me wonder if Len had moved down the street from me they were here THAT fast! I wasn't expecting them until tomorrow... 8O

Add in the fact that he pointed out that I was going to need a couple additional parts that I'd left off my list and he's become my first stop for parts for my XJ550 RH.

 

Thanks guys, we appreciate the business!

Ranger...we added that extra washer because we knew you would end up loosing one, but obviously you foiled our plans by being careful and attentive to detail, and so that is price you have to pay for doing things right..........

 

Ordered the brake parts I needed on monday. Here on Wednesday via priority mail. Can't beat the serivice. I will definately buy from here again.

The order coming in a timely manner got my bike up in running condition and prepared my bike (my first 8)) for the run up to my cabin with my cousin for the fourth of july. I will follow up with pictures in the main threads at some point to show my new baby.

Thanks so uch again len!

Very much agree. Len is the best!!!

 

Len, being new to motorcycles you can't believe how relieved I was to find this forum. I recently purchased a 1982 XJ750J Maxim so my son and I could tinker and learn how to fix motorcycles. I didn't know what I was buying I just liked the look and since it ran and I didn't hear any mechanical noises coming out of the engine I bought it. After trying to get it running by the seat of my pants method I bought a repair manual. Again after the 2nd attempt at the carbs I researched the net and found XJBikes forum, of course I signed up immediately. Now that I have educated myself I am working on the 3rd and hopefully final carb rebuild. One of my biggest reliefs was finding a parts dealer for these old bikes. So far I am very satisfied with the availability of parts and the service. Of course being satisfied he will be taking quite a few orders from me in the future. It's curious that I never met Len (Chacal) and all business is done through the internet and yet I feel he is very honest and customer service oriented and that's something I don't find with most of the storefront retailers these days. Anyway, I'm getting a little long so Thanks again for the parts and service.

 

I totally agree with you about Len (chacal) since buying my recent Seca 750 and finding this forum I have been buying parts from Len and singing praise about him. He has what you need and sometimes knows what I'm looking for when I don't. He ships everything right away and sends very detailed instructions with the more involved parts. This is the kind of service some of us grew up with at the local parts stores and I for one miss very much these days with the chain store. Great Job Len!!!!

 

Recently ordered from Len. Once again, great service, great quality, great value. Thanks, Len.

 

Just throwing a thanks out to Chacal at XJ4ever for the parts. The parts came fast and chacal was great to work with. I even had a problem with my order that he rectified immediately and even promised to beat someone for not having the order right the first time. 8) Everyone makes mistakes I was just glad that it was fixed promptly and no beating around the bush. The parts worked great and I had no problems what so ever.

Will buy from again,
qualm

 

Thanks for the Great Service and Fast Delivery Len!

 

I've always gotten my orders from chacal extremely fast and exactly what I need. But nobody's perfect, and I want anyone who might order from chacal in the future to know that when there was an issue with my order, chacal corrected it and had great communication to boot! I ordered on a monday, got the order on wednesday, saw there was an issue and notified chacal that night. A couple of PMs were exchanged that night, and in the morning the part I needed was in the mail. By the Monday after my initial order, and had the corrected order and was very satisfied.

Chacal communicates with you before your order, making sure you have everything you need. Once you send the money, chacal send you the parts immediately but does not close the lines of communication. If you need help using a tool, or installing a part, he'll be very responsive. More than once I have exchanged several PMs with him late at night where he helped me to use the tools and install the parts I ordered correctly. Chacal is awesome.

 

More praise for Chacal! As always great communication and quickest shipping. Even though I forgot to put the quote number in my bad dude.

Thanks again.

 

Well lets put it this way....

I placed two orders online for parts i needed for my bike to rebuild the carb and tune her up...

One with XJ4ever and one with oldbikebarn....

Today I called a cancelled my oldbikebarn order and ordered from Xj4ever.... I had my stuff for XJ4ever a week after I placed the order and oldbikebarn hadn't even shipped them yet....

Thanks Len!!!

 

Len, I got my parts TWO DAYS after I paid for them! Great service that I have come to expect from you. You'll definately be hearing from me again (and again) in the near future.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Len really came through in my efforts to restore my XJ650J to original factory colors. At the time of joining XJBikes I had done quite a bit of research trying to find original/reproduction of the paint scheme. I couldn't find the original Black/Blue code 4J paint needed to repaint my tank and side covers anywhere.

I joined XJBikes, posted my experience on the forum re: my experience and very quickly up pops Bill (Bill - praising Len and now I know why) & Len indicating he had the color scheme I was looking for.

I ordered the paint from Len (with expectation of a 7-14 day delivery) and received it in less than 3! - in plenty of time to have the tank and side covers painted for the Vintage Japanese bike meet in August. I was a little worried that I may not be ready in time, but thanks to Len I'm ahead of the game.

Thanks again Len - will share pictures when complete.

 

Yep, got a small order, but got her in two days, bike should be up and runnin in no time, thanks!

 

Len,

Want to thank you for the great tool and let everyone else know how great a guy you are to deal with.

I ordered the YICS Port Blanking Tool from Len, great tool and a great price. I had called my closet Yamaha Dealer parts dept. and they didn't know what I was talking about. I gave him the Yamaha Part number that I got out of my Repair manual and he couldn't find anything on it. I called another Yamaha Dealer a couple towns away that sells alot of the older parts online, they knew what I was looking for, they told me Yamaha had discontinued the tool but he thought he might be able to get it from there tool supplier. There supplier still had a quanity in stock, hadn't sold 1 in 3 years.. They only wanted $150.00 for it ( I guess it really went up in value while just sitting on there shelf) Then I found Len, great tool and great price.

Now we did have a snafu with the mail & I highly recomend everyone get the Tracking for your order. I didn't and my order didn't show up in a reasonable time, contacted Len by email and he was right back to me. Len went above and beyond, told me if it didn't show up in a couple more days that he would help me out with a replacement. It finally showed up , the post office had sent it Parcel Post even though they charge for Priority.

I will be ordering anything else I need from Len.

Thanks for the parts, Len. Everything fit and functioned perfectly. It is nice when I can get help for the small stuff. That will bring me back for the larger stuff!

 

Len is the man. Once again I needed parts and boom he had em. Ordered my parts on Monday and had em in hand and installed on Thursday. 7 to 10 day post...pfft more like 3 to 4 days . Thanks again Len for the great service, and my Maxim thanks you too lol

 

Thanks guys!

 

Thanks for all your help, Len. Parts arrived safely in Malaysia 2 weeks ago. Had to pay tax but that's the way it goes...next time I order less than $500 worth

Now I can get the Turbo restoration up and running!

 

Thanks Len you rock those parts got here in 3 days and the ordering was super easy.I've been lurking around the site and had to post some good feedback, thumbs up or 5 star whatever is the best, how about 5 smilies there you go.

 

Thanks Len!

Ordered an oil pan gasket, oil sending unit O ring on Tuesday of last week, got it on Thursday.

THANKS!! Fastest shipping ever! And this is the USPS!?!

 

Got carb rebuild rubbers from XJ4ever and they are awesome.

The shipping was way faster than I would have imagined here in Canada.

Excellent work, and I won't hesitate to buy from him again in the future. I see valve shimming on the horizon.

 

Thanks guys!

 

Fantastic speed and service. 1 week to the other side of the planet, time to tear down and get onto it, darn the 12 week old needs a feed.

Cheaper than buying locally too! Even with postage!

 

I just received my very first purchase from ‘CHACAL’ (aka xj4ever) and wanted to publically say how completely satisfied I am with the service I received and the price I paid. Top notch… Thank You!

 

Thanks Len,
The clutch cable is on and working. You da Man.

 

Thanks guys, glad to be able to help, and I appreciate your business!

 

I should mention that I've had about five orders from Len this summer, and every one shipped quickly. Service has been great, and I appreciate the amount of knowledge Len has about parts/service for our bikes.

 

Hey Len,

Thanks for the quick shipping very reasonable rates! I wouldn't hesitate to send anyone to you for parts and advice. You are now in my book mark.
Thanks
Bryan

 

Thanks guys, glad to help and I do appreciate your business!

 

There was a small hiccup in my order. Len was very responsive to take care of the situation. I'm very pleased with the quick response and how easy it was to talk to him. I'll definitely be doing lots of business in the future and recommending him to anyone I meet that needs parts.

 

Got my parts today. I'm very pleased. As soon as I get some more paid off from my credit card I'll be ordering more. It's my low credit parts card and thanks to Len it's maxed out once again, lol.

 

I recently ordered a gasket set from Len and I was more than satisfied. He was quick with an email letting me know that he had recieved my payment and it shipped the same day and I received my order 36 hours after it was shipped. Excellent service and I will definitely order from him again. Thanks Len.

Moses

 

Thanks guys!

 

Once more, great parts and great service! I ordered my clutch cable and starter relay on Thursday, got them on Tuesday, and had the bike up and running by Wednesday. Thanks, Len - she runs better than ever now!
