newbi with parts questions

Hi people with Yamahahaha's, I recently came across a 1984 xj650k sitting in a garage, been ridding for about a month now and i love it . downside last week after a few minutes of running the 1 ignition coil heats up and shuts down , dealers and the other popular venders want $140 plus shipping for one , i was going to replace both , but not at tha price, any other ideas where i can get new coil packs , I real thought i shoild be able to get a pair of aftermarket for under $100 any thoughts or sugestions, Thanks Ray from Albany Ny

 

PM the user chacal with your model/year and parts list and/or read his long post in the XJ4Ever sub forum.

 

Len (chacal is his forum name) has what you seek.

His catalog is here: http://www.xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic ... rt=15.html

About 1/3rd of the way down there's this:

HCP245 Dyna high-output green IGNITION COILS, set of 2
$ 119.00

You send him a PM and he'll get you a quote.

 

Thank You so much , This makes things so much better, I didnt get a chance nto read the whole page , but it does look like great reading for later, when i have some more time ,Thanks again ,

 

If you need parts for an XJ Len is the man. First, last and only stop for me.

 

Thanks ,I think I pm'ed him .
Who is this LEN guy that you all speak of. ? does he work at a yammy dealer ? or does he have his own business ?

 

Len is Chacal/xj4ever. I've been ordering parts from him for atleast a year always exteremly quick shipping and good prices.

 

He's also very quick and thorough with his quotes.
Just be sure to tell him year/model and try to describe what you want (or pictures even - i.e. my master cylinder - which might not be OEM style).

 

he's a little elf that lives in a tree that grows yamaha parts
sorry Len, couldn't help it

 

You won't find a more knowledgeable, service oriented supplier anywhere. While I was doing my Seca. I would order parts on Saturday or Sunday and I would literally have the parts in hand around Wednesday!

 

Len makes this possible. Yamaha does support our bikes, but to a limit.

 

Len is a Jedi Master :!: He never sleeps and is all knowing on things XJ. He is allways there when you need advice. He even shows up with out being ASKED!!!!!! 8O
