See my thread: http://www.xjbikes.com/forums/threads/signals-not-flashing-horn-not-working-when-stopped.92456/ I had similar issues with other...
I bought a Yamaha OEM large O-ring oil seal (93210-87723) and that solved my leak problem. Unfortunately, the FRAM O-ring (from filter CH6003) ,...
Is it just me or are the provided o-ring seals provided by FRAM (ch6003) bad? I'm talking about the larger o-ring seal that comes folded in the...
SO, my motorcycle steering is 'binding'. it's still ridable but it won't be safety certified. Question is, is the model have loose or cartridge...
I know this is an old thread but I changed the fusebox today (and installed new connectors) to prep for summer. Solved my signal problems during...
If my water levels are always low on my battery (in the summer and about 3/4 full), does that imply that it's overheating and i have to change my...
I was looking at this thing last night and was wondering how the hell do you adjust tighten the stopper bolt and nut with a torque wrench being in...
Hang on, i have a 81 XJ 650. Is there a specific intake for the vacuum line? I believe mine is on 3 or 4. (going from left to right, where leftest...
I have a 81 xj650. it's making some kind of 'noise' sounding like the cam chain tension has to be checked. I have a Haynes manual and it says to...
The saga continues. Shoddy work but... Changed to a (new) 1000uf 16v capacitor and didn't improve it. Then swapped with a 150 ohm (2w) resistor...
I just checked my electronics store - and they have a 1200uf 35v capacitor. I'm assuming it's better to go over rather than lower like a 10V...
I have a 1/2W and 2W resistor. Should I use the lower one? Presumably, the lower wattage resistor would need less voltage to get the relay blinking.
What voltage on the capacitor? 12V's? That's what my guy is asking me.
If anyone is interested, two Novita flasher relays can work but they only have two terminal. Note that you will lose auto cancel. Incandescent...
IF anyone is interested, here's an LED flasher that has the "hook" to attach the rubber grommet to:...
I noticed that the OEM flasher relay points are labeled (B,C,L). I saw an aftermarket LED compatible relay, Novita EP34, that's labeled (B,E,L)...
Oh shit, you can fix that thing!??!?! ! I saw that I might be able to open it but didnt' dare. I'll try that tonight
I now know my stock relay fu257cd is bad. I happened upon a relay novita LL552 and my signals blink right away with just the motorcycle ON. But...
Hmm... I know for sure I changed my left (shifter side) bulbs to to GE Nighthawks 1156NH. IF I have issues, would one side being on 27W tell me...
This is a pic of my fusebox. don't see any 'melting' but i'll change it. Also for Chacel to see when replacing with ATC fusebox.
Thanks! I went downstairs just now and noticed that my horn is working but the lights do not flash when the motorcycle is in ON position (but...
My motorcycle shop said stator is on the way out. Now if both are out of spec, which is the one I should change first? I'm thinking stator (is...

I saw this picture on my Haynes manual as well. But wondering, do I turn ON bike, disconnect the started relay, use voltmeter: 1) connect 1...
I just did that. when I disconnected the headlight, the lights are blinking after 2000RPM. So it's not the headlight. is it possible that my...
I got a Haynes manual and couldn't find a 'resistance' test for my signal relay. I checked the guide...
Thanks for tip!.... err... do you have any diagram. Am I just looking to see if a ring terminal is attached to the ignition coils and perhaps...
Thank you K-moe on the advice on regular and voltage being too high! Mine is fine. NOw I don't have to look at it. Saved me a lot of $$. Now do...
Jay, I have a 1981 XJ650 motorcycle. I'm wondering which Motobatt AGM battery you bought: Is it the 15A or the 11A? The motobatt site recommends:...
My motorcycle shop recommended I might try to change my regulator/rectifier unit to fix the 'lazy' charging. they checked the brushes on the...
I cleaned the copper connectors on the signal relay and it's a no go. the funny thing is, one of the tests that I do is when I just turn the bike...
I've cleaned and confirmed brushes are still good on alternator. i've also cleaned the copper traces on the alternator rotor with a hard pencil...
My turn signals don't flash and my horns don't work when I'm stopped at the lights. I'm trying to do my motorcycle exam and last time, he did not...
I still think it's leaking because I can smell exhaust. I'm tempted to tighten it past the torque setting of 0.8kgf as per the Haynes manual....
Fack.... you are right. I still have to open it up and put RTV in between. Might as well do it right with new parts.
You know it's funny I have a lot of this RED RTV stuff lying around when I helicoiled my spark plugs...

Wait, I just installed a new gasket on the head cover. If I remove it carefully w/o tearing the gasket, can I re-use it when I put in new 'half...
Thanks for the advice. This is my after pic: Changed head gasket and also exhaust gaskets. If you look at what I circled there, I still get leaks...
i installed 1x gasket on each exhaust (rather than double up) yesterday but unsure of the orientation of the gasket. the gasket seems directional...
Where should I point it? Down towards the tire like the battery exhaust?
The thread I started is as per below link (stripped right hand mirror / throttle side). What I think I know so far (please correct if I'm wrong):...
My 1981 XJ650 came with K&N pods. I've been questioning whether or not the air exhaust is being 'dumped' to the correct place. I think normally...
OMIGOSH. Thank god I asked you guys first. At first, I thought my right mirror (throttle side) was LEFT hand thread but it's actually right hand...
Wait, when you say "crush gaskets", do you mean part 11 or 12 in the picture attached here.
See the picture here for my exhaust pipes coming out of the engine. Does this imply that one of my exhaust pipes is not 'sealed' properly - like I...
Wait, can I just use a regular helicoil and do it 'regular thread'? Will the mirror just not screw in at all because it's reverse threaded?
I have a 1981 XJ 650 Maxim. Threads are stripped on lever body (on throttle side) so my mirror can't screw in. I've determined that it's m10 x...
