https://www.6sigmajetkit.com/yamaha-jet-kits.html you didn't narrow your model down. Do you have the same bike as an American FJ600 or do you...
it is original but I stand by it. This bike has rarely seen any rain, still perfect condition
Sounds like a worn chain to me or at 17000 it sat for some time. Replace the chain is my advice
Most likely a loose header pipe at the head
oh and I tried boosting it with my car and It got maybe a revolution so there's no break in the wiring. I redid the main ground wire connections...
thanks, its nicer when it works. I forgot to mention last fall I had tested the starter motor on the bench with direct voltage and also tested the...
took my gas tank off in over 20 yrs! My sidecar bike quit working last September. I took it to work one day, and when I went to move it into my...
yes, or dislodged keepers, faulty cam chain tensioner maybe
With the slide topped out there shouldn't be further engine demand? Unless the turbocharger continues ramming increasingly more air in? My maximum...
Wow thanks @Minimutly you guys on the other side of the pond saw a lot of cars we didn't. can you explain more on this? What I thought was a can...
Except a sleeper delivers more than advertised, LOL. This advertises more cc's than actual, seriously no one is ever going to see it anyway. I'm...
before you get too far I'd be astonished if the motor physically fits. I understood the Diversion cylinder bank leans further forward than the...
I was agreeing with your post, using the stock 750 CR will increase likelihood of knocking. In which case the Seca Turbo ignition will retard the...
here's my 772 big bore kit. This block will make the motor 1 mm shorter. Unfortunately this adds 2 mm slack to the cam chain, fingers crossed that...
yes you're right, quicker is a better way to say it. Ideally the turbo would be mounted closer to the head like the Kawasaki GPZ Turbo. Smaller ID...
Thanks @50gary I have a spare set of XJ700N head pipes. Apparently the Turbo has smaller ID pipes, probably won't matter much just for the...
Hello @XJ 750 Turbo you are a kindred spirit. I to envision a larger displacement Seca Turbo since at 1st and 2nd glance Yamaha seem to provide...
crank rotates, gear box shifts, cams look good, head has all exhaust studs intact. came from bike with 29,000 kms on the clock. $50 including...
looking good, silver tinted green, no argument from me!
You can dismantle 99% of a Japanese motorcycle with an 8, 10, 12, 14, 17, 19, 22, 24, 27 mm wrench, 5 & 6 Allan keys. And the JIS screwdriver...

just found part 1 [MEDIA]
entertaining video [MEDIA]
What is the plan now? Replacement head or rebuild the head with replacement valves?
You mentioned the petcock. You can rebuild the one you have with new rubber parts. Chacal is on this thread already. Just send him a private...
You have an XJ700N Maxim air-cooled. The XJ700-X Maxim liquid-cooled was sold in the USA but an XJ750-X was sold in Canada. Therefore everyone...
give us a pic. there are enough guys here with Mac systems and they will likely be able to recognize it. I mention Mac only because they are the...
The XJ's all came with 2 silencer systems. A 4-1 is an aftermarket exhaust. Without knowing the manufacturer you will need to find something that...
@Daniel Stroud by the looks of your picture you have an 85 XJ700.
Let’s see more picks of that 750 cc 650 Seca! Pretty cool bike.
good on ya, that's a lot of riding.
snowblower can stay but it needs a custom exhaust!
nice info, I have some reading now thanks. Too bad the BS carbs are not in the listing.
OK now I understand, stiffening up the Maxim rubber mounts. Seca already solid bolts.
my head is still the completely stock original. The only mod I'm making is a bigger bore. My biggest complaint with the OEM Seca Turbo was they...
The vapour blasting looks pretty good in the pic he sent me. Should be good to accept paint.
[ATTACH] 900 block tapped for the knock sensor Nice of Yamaha to cast in the boss for this
I received another 31A cylinder block and dropped it off with the shop. I have in my hands new ring set for the 58L Shouldn’t be long until the...
And that’s another way to do it! Beyond my shade tree ability @50gary your Maxim looks awesome BTW Another option is to find a set of spoke...
Retro fitting a modern set of forks to an XJ is relatively easy. If you bring the GSXR front wheel with it there is a problem in my opinion....
I have small a batch electroplater nearby. Anytime I've asked about re-chroming motorcycle parts the quoted cost quickly cancelled any plans. The...
My mistake, I assumed XS650
The XJ is shaft drive The XS is chain drive
What can you say about this? [ATTACH] and to think someone thought it was such a good idea it needed repeating???? [ATTACH] this will bring you...
here is the replacement gasket and foam filter from XJ4ever [ATTACH]
correct, but it has a valve which needs to be rebuilt. It will drain any oil/fuel residue at atmospheric pressure but seals up when under boost....
the nipple on carb 2 is the green line. This should go directly to the boost sensor. Below is how I had mine set up with a boost controller. I've...
Since 88 wow, nice bike
