What did you do to your Yamaha today?

Ah, sussed how to do the quote. Dirty are fine, uk is a must otherwise the price doubles (delivery, import tax, vat on everything).
However. Last night found a rough looking set on ebay UK, then found another, better looking. So I bought both!
They are listed as off an xj 600 pre div, this is the later xj, so hopefully should fit ok.

 

that is a photo of mikuni carb
xj600 is more like an xj550

 

Damn it - you're right of course xj550. So do I need to appologise and back out of the deal? Will they fit? Will they work?

 

that would be a 28mm mikuni carb you need 32mm hatachi carbs from a 650 or 750. you would have to rejet the 750 carbs wont fit.

 

More photos of last nights picking

 

According to everything I can find the xj/fj600 had 32mm mikunis? I will take a risk on them I think.

 

mmm

 

Stripped the tank today. Going for a fresh coat of paint. And maybe an oil change tonight .

 

What color ya going to?

 

Keeping it orginal. Burgundy

Have quite literally applied to a part-time position to churn-and-earn coin for my XJObsession. My wife knows. She agreed. The Maxima'am also agreed.

 

Stripped and started cleaning two sets of Mikunis, one set gummed up with smally fuel, the other gummed up with water and rust - nice...

Picked up a pair of Kenda K761 tires from Chaparral Racing (Front 100/90-19 & Rear 120/80-18).
Euro Swirly Seca 18" wheel delivered today and have began cleanup process on that.

 

Nuttin. Didn’t do nuttin today to the bike. Work gets in the way. I did however tho receive my pkg from Len in the utmost of quickest fashions. As always Len. Thanks

 

In church for the 2nd time in 2 weeks with the carbs off the 81 650 maxim. The 82 got done last weekend. Unfortunately the p.o. did a number on parts of these...

 

Pulled bike out temp almost 50 ...went to gas station filled up and rode about 8 miles not much of a ride but was a little brisk . Put my "new " seat on . I had ordered some Yamaha handle bar markings for an RD400 not exactly xj750 but looks good will try to take some picture of controls. Only thing I don't have is a markings for the Aux headlight .rest of week only in low 40's just waiting for spring..

 

minus 6 last night got to 19F . Had coffee and donuts with the bikes this morning

 

Built up the "rough" set of catbs, need to do a wet set, but gave up today - too bloomin cold.
Anyone know the setting for xj 600 mikunis? And why did they go for innie float drains?

 

Finally getting the X back together. Just waiting to get the tank back this week.

 

What do you think of controls ...the stickers were for a Yamaha RD400 but alot better than the worn off markings that were lacking.
