Howdy guys. I have an art project I'm doing and I need motorcycle tanks and handle bars. It does not matter how old, how new, or what model...
Yayyyy! Thank goodness!
The one I found is a midnight maxim 650 1981 cover for the left side, so I just wanted to check if it would work for sure.
In the process of trying to rip out the bolts (completely solid and stuck in the engine) I cracked the engine cover on the left side. Will the...
Thank you kindly!
Been needing a harness, my neighbor has an 82 seca 650 harness and I want to know if it will work for my bike? Thanks ahead of time :)
Sissy bar! I probably want! :) Is it a real sissy bar, or just the grab bar?? Is it chrome or black? Please PM me... thx!
The entire head pipe needs replacing, mine is dented to shit from the PO.
Does the year it was made make a difference?
Which exhausts are compatible with my 1980 XJ 650 Maxim? I am looking at one from a 1982 650 maxim right now and they dont' look to have the same...
True that. This is kind of how I felt after dealing with the relay. I went through 3 different relays, and one worked magic and fixed...
Chacal, is there a good reason not to replace the wiring harness? That is what a few people have told me to do so far. I noticed you mentioned in...
Update on this problema... My neutral indicator light no longer works. My horn no longer works. On the way back from a ride the other day...
My 1980 isn't listed here, and furthermore... All the electrical shit has been screwed with a miiiillion times by previous owners, since it's all...
Alright, I've tried 3 relays. One is the exact one in the pictures, the Long Life one with 2 prongs. I also got a clear one with 3 prongs as...
Where do I look at the alternator brushes? (You're talking to a noob here.) And yes, the third wires are NOT connected, never were. What would I...
So, what do I need to know here about flasher relays, guys? I went and bought one I thought would work- and my blinkers don't even turn on solid...
Is it obvious when it's unplugged?
MY BIKE HAS A SELF CANCELLER?!?!?! Hahaha... obviously it hasn't been working.
Heading to autozone now. Thanks!
After taking off the tank and reconnecting and un-connecting wires, I really think it's a relay problem. I called around the area and found out a...
Update: The blinkers don't work at all any more. On a ride the right stopped working, so I took them apart again... and now they don't work at...
Fantastic. Thanks everyone. I'll be orderin' from Chacal! :)
Thanks Ken! It was relatively simple to paint. A few areas didn't want to go on as smooth but it wasn't a big deal. It helps that I spray paint a...
Welcome! That's all the wisdom I've got for ya. :)
Is replacing the tach cable relatively easy for a total noob? It's definitely this area that is leaking primarily, I tightened the bolt 2 days ago...
Just for the record, me redoing any of the wiring I did is NOT going to magically make it any better. I obviously suck at electrical stuff. So,...
Here's the picture Chacal asked me to get. Nothing of the underneath of the bike will help at all I don't think. I tightened this bolt, still oily...
Here are some photos of what my wires look like... (Dark in the garage so they're a bit blurry.) What will happen if I switch the wires and...
Tested with wire- it's not the ground it seems.
AHA! Relay switch... where is that?
Why would that matter? The screw for the signals goes all the way into the frame of the bike, where it grounds itself, right?
Right... that seems fairly reasonable. Unfortunately unless someone can explain to me exactly where they are/should be grounded so I can check......
Also, I didn't take apart the right headlight, and it's the one with a problem. (I took apart the left one because I was confused as to how to get...
I unfortunately don't understand exactly what that means... How would I be blocking it? How do I check that? I checked the lights before...
The grounds aren't attached to anything... which my husband found quite odd- but I can't tell you a damn thing about electrical myself. I am a...
Howdy! I finally get to join the modification club... I started small by just re-painting my muffler, since it had some rusting and just generally...
Ok. Figured it out. For the sake of people searching for this answer later... The giant rubber spacer is actually a screw. Get some pliers or w/e,...
I went out and jumped head first in to taking my grab bar off, and now I'm stuck at the turn signals. I have a 1980 XJ Maxim 650 and am wanting to...
I would love to know this answer too.
Seriously the seat is insane. I hope it's not finished for your ass' sake!
Agreed, that design without the circle swissjon posted is nice.
The exhaust is so SEXY!!
Tach cable indeed. (Duh, because I just reattached my speedometer cable when getting new tires...) I'll clean it off and then take her for a spin,...
Yes! Speedo cable indeed. I can't tighten it, as it's... taped. With electrical tape. Or maybe that's not the tightening you're referring to? But...
She sprung a leak! Two spots... one from the bolt next to the tube coming out just above in front of the engine, I think it might be for odometer...
Yo, tell me how to get these on my bike... and I'm sold. I've got a 650 Maxim. PMing you.
PMed you.
xj750 shift/brake levers - I need these (do they work on a xj650?). PM please.
Then she probably shouldn't be riding on a bike or with someone on one either. lol.
