Looking for repair manual 1982 xj650j, tank,fork emblems

Can someone tell me if this site has a area to look up 1982 xj650j repair manual and where I can get used fork and tank emblems.

 

Look up Chacal - he has parts and manuals at reasonable prices. He is quick and full of great advice...

 

Thank you very much, can you tell me what type of fuel filter you used because I also wanted to put a fuel filter on my bike. 1982 xj650j.

 

There are several threads recommending different types of filters and it is a very good idea. I just bought a lawn mower filter at autozone - works great.

Chacal has filters too that are better than what I have. It would be time well spent to search these forums for info on

Fuel filters
fuse block
carb cleaning
plug chops

Then search any issues you think you may have. After a bit you will learn a ton of stuff. My bike ran good I thought until I read the posts and found out what a good running bike was supposed to be like. Most issues revolve around the carbs. they need to be well cleaned and synced to have an excellent running machine.

 

get the 90 degree filter from chacal it works great on our bikes i have the same model and it sits nicely under the tank.

SERVICE MANUALS:

Although it's fun to be adventurous, creative, and daring at times, wrenching on the bike is not one of those times......

Some people seem to think that working on a bike is "simple", and therefore they don't need a service manual. While we agree that for some operations and procedures this may be correct, for many of the routine maintenance tasks you're going to need a service manual in order to figure out what may seem, at first glance, to be a "simple" task (actually, those things that you think are really simple can be the most mind-bending in complexity, until you've done them a time or two.....).

So, our advice is don't be penny-wise and pound-foolish----if it helps at all, just think of a service manual as a very useful tool for your toolbox, just like the proper sized socket or screwdriver, and one that is necessary to do a job properly.


Aftermarket Workshop Manuals:

lm1) The ever-popular Haynes or Clymer WORKSHOP MANUALS line of "enhanced" factory service manuals cover all major service, repair, rebuild, and maintenance procedures (sometimes in excruciating detail, and usually with many more pictures and illustrations than the factory service manual does), and also includes wiring diagrams and other useful specifications.

HCP1093 Haynes Service-Repair-Maintenance Workshop Manual, for all 1980-84 XJ650 (except Turbo) and XJ750 models, softcover, over 275 action-packed pages, a must-have manual if you own one of these machines. Each:
$ 29.00

lm2) Original reprinted FACTORY SERVICE MANUALS are also available. These full-size manuals covers all aspects of diagnosis, repair, and assembly for specific model bikes. These brand new, official Yamaha manuals are one of those "must-have" tools if you're going to be wrenching on your own bike. Plenty of photographs, diagrams, flowcharts, wiring charts (some of them even being correct!), torque values, etc. NOTE: cover design, color, and appearance may differ from originals.

NOTE: originally, Yamaha would not release a new service manual for each year's production, unless there had been significant changes in design, service procedures, features, etc......and even in those cases, even if there HAD been significant changes, they would not release an entirely new service manual, but merely a "supplement" to the past service manual for that model, and that supplement would highlight only the changes to procedures, etc. that would need to be followed.

For example: the 1980 XJ650 Maxim---being the first model in the XJ650 series---was issued a service manual by Yamaha. The 1981 XJ650 model, having no significant differences from the 1980 model, used the same 1980 XJ650 service manual. However, the 1982 XJ650 Maxim models had a number of meaningful difference in service procedures (first and foremost, the introduction of the YICS cylinder head design and system, which required a different synchronization procedure, a variation to the engine teardown and re-build procedures, etc.).

Rather than publish a brand new service manual for the 1982 XJ650 Maxim models, Yamaha merely published a service manual Supplement and instructed dealers to use the 1980 XJ650 Base Service Manual along with the 1982 XJ650 Supplementary Service Manual to properly service those bikes.....after all, 90% of the procedures in the 1980 XJ650 "base" Service Manual still applied and were valid for the 1982 XJ650 Maxim models, so why publish an entire new manual, when just a "supplement" would work?

This same process applies to many of the original models and their service manuals. The 1982 XJ750 Maxim models, for instance, used that same 1980 XJ650 Maxim Service Manual as the "base manual", and had a 75-page XJ750J Supplementary Service Manual that was to be used in conjunction with the base (1980 XJ650) manual.

That was then.

This is now: all of the Supplementary Service Manuals are rolled into the front of the "base manuals" for the individual manuals listed as reprints below. So for instance, the 1982-3 XJ650 Maxim Service Manual has both the 1980 XJ650 "Base" Service Manual AND the 1982-3 XJ650 Supplementary Service Manual bound together into one book.....no need to acquire two different books to have all of the correct procedures for working on your 1983 XJ650 Maxim. Same thought applies to the XJ750 Maxim Service Manuals.....they have the "base" 1980 XJ650 Maxim Service Manual, and also the XJ750 Maxim Supplementary Manual all bound together into one book.

Some manuals, such as the XJ550 Maxim and Seca Service Manual, will be labeled (on the cover) as a 1981 XJ550 Maxim/Seca Service Manual, when in fact it covers all three model years.

So when you purchase one of the manuals listed below, rest assured that it will have ALL of the correct procedures and information that will apply to the specific models for which it is listed as covering.

Fork Emblems:

ed3) OEM and reproduction front FORK EMBLEMS fit on the lower steering crown "underbracket" and usually spell out the name "YAMAHA" in big letters against a chrome or black background. This emblem really details up the front end, as well as hiding the brake hose junction block(s) and the steering bracket.

HCP2448 OEM front FORK EMBLEM, for all XJ650 Maxim and 1983 XJ750 Maxim models. Although not correct for the XJ650 Midnight Maxim or XJ750 Midnight Maxim models (the lettering would be gold on those models), this emblem will fit those bikes, too. Chrome plated plastic with black YAMAHA wording.

HCP2464 OEM front fork emblem MOUNTING SCREW, use 2 per emblem, for all XJ650 Maxim and 1983 XJ750 Maxim models, each:
$ 1.25


Fuel Tank Emblems:

ed4) OEM and reproduction FUEL TANK EMBLEMS fit on the sides of the tank and spell out the name "YAMAHA" in big letters against a black background. Most emblems used adhesive tape to mount, while all XJ550, XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim, and XJ1100 emblems are retained to the tank via two small screws.

NOTE: the following XJ650 Maxim tank emblems (HCP140LH and HCP140RH) may be successfully used on all XJ550 Maxim and Seca gas tanks in place of the non-available original emblems for those models. The mounting screw hole locations are exactly the same, and although the front-to-back and top-to-bottom emblem curvature is slightly different between all of the models, it is not enough to be noticeable once in installed.

XJ550 owners can also apply some double-side tape to the back of the emblems (in addition to using the screw mounts) to get a factory original fit. Alternatively, a slow, gentle application of heat to the XJ650 emblems will make the emblems "bendable" and they can be gently tweaked to a more proper fit on XJ550 model tanks.

fl5) Aftermarket In-Line Fuel Filters. This is the cheapest and best investment you can make for a long, clean life for your carbs. Available as either round or cone-shaped clear plastic filter units, they go a long way towards preventing contaminants from your fuel tank ever getting into your carbs.

HCP2734 aftermarket In-Line Fuel Filter, cone-shaped 2" long housing has a clear, see-through housing with a bronze mesh filter. This unit has 90-degree angled inlet and outlet tubes (pointed 90-degrees opposite of each other), which is useful in the "tight-squeeze" conditions that exist under some models! NOTE: the sintered bronze filter element goes TOWARDS the tank....meaning the 90-degree rotated (from the centerline) INPUT nipple (from the tank) is approximately 1" off the centerline of the housing. The entire housing---including the inlet nipple, is about 2" wide, and---including the outlet nipple---is about 2-1/4" long. THIS IS THE MOST POPULAR STYLE TO USE FOR MOST XJ-SERIES BIKES, as the 90-degree turn that the filter inlet/outlet orientation provides serves to minimize the amount of fuel line bends that are necessary to route the fuel line from the petcock to the carb fuel inlet!
