oh man... this page is so going on my favorites.... thanks gamuru, your tutorials make my bike purr!

 

Thanks for the kind words.

I wanted to add their links to my signature, but didn't want 10 of them crowding it up. So, I created this thread which gave me one link to them all. (Yep, I stole the idea from J.R.R. Tolken... "One ring to rule them all.")

 

There's the FAQ topic, that has 0 posts, i'd think the good howtos like yours and mine should be moved into that group, then there would be one link to rule them all..

just not one link to rule yours

I'm sure there's other great how-tos on here as well that should get recongnition.

 

I see your point, but...

If you read my sig, it says, "Author of..." Now, I can't take credit for your work or anyone else's work, for that matter, can I? I do agree that some of these tutorials, etc. need to be moved into the finished FAQs section.

 

How about a "how-to" for finding all your how-tos? :mrgreen:

 

I spent a while looking for this post!! Good thing it's slow at work!

 

Hey, we got another member from Oak Harbor! Welcome, dustball!

 

another one? Who else is from here?

 

Charger8609 and her husband (Navy, I think).

 

he's got the Huskers icon

so he's a fan of nebraska more!


GO NEBRASKA HUSKERS!! WOOT WOOT!

 

hahah fan "more"... YES! I am... bartended in Lincoln to help pay for school.. that's what got me going as a Husker... Yeah.. I'm Navy too... well for the next 30 something days anyhow.. Fixing electronics.. I went to carquest to find that fuse box.. they wanted close to $50 for it... I'm not paying that much for a $.30 piece of plastic... I'll keep my eyes open for a cheaper mod.. I was hoping for like $6-7

I need to get an order prepared and get my fuse block. Dad says he has stuff to add and they will allow a pick up. I pay tax either way!

 

Thanks for all your hard work Gamuru and sharing it here. I for one definitely appreciate it.

 

Gamuru,
These links are awesome! You wouldn't happen to have any links for the rear drum brake of a maxim 650 or tearing down the trans to replace a slipping 2nd gear would ya? Probably not, but this is definitely on my favorites list now. Thanks again man.

Wesley

 

Been to Shakers in Waverly a few times. That was back in '01. Place has prolly gone thru 3 or 4 name changes since then.

 

Thanks, Wesley! I can't help on the trans, but this link may help on the rear brake.

 

It's been awhile since my last how-to, but I've finally got a new one posted up on rebuilding a master cylinder. Check it out.

 

Gamuru

The steps that you have taken (as well as a few others) to help out the clueless are greatly appreciated. I have been on countless site as well as this one looking for what I thought was a simple question, but I'm still without. From what I've seen you seem like the man to ask, so here it go's.
I have an 82 XJ1100J and I'm having a hard time finding the pressure for the front and rear suspension. Hoping for a hat trick here, thanks for your time. And yes I'm new and unfamilure with not only this, but all forums. So if I do/say anything wrong please let me know.

 

I honestly don't know, but I have an idea where to find out. Be right back...

Try this link. Look on the left-hand side under suspension.

 

Bump for the newbies and anyone else that may be getting ready for spring.

 

<Bumped> for the benefit of new members. We're headed into a new riding season, so let's get those XJs ready for the warm weather!

 

Bumped again! Hope everyone rides safe and keeps the shiny side up. BTW. Anyone have a thread for a front brake caliper rebuild for a 82' Maxim 650? Thanks.

 

I finally found this page after Forum "searching" for awhile. I knew I saw it a year or so ago but took me awhile to find it again. It's a great page so thought I'd bring it out of the back of the barn for everyone to see.
I've added it to my Favorites.

 

maybe i can't find it or whatever but is there a how to on oil change? I feel like I know what to do but always like reading multiple "articles" before I actually do something the first time

 

Sorry to dredge up an old thread, but some of these links are no longer working. This would be a great DIY for people if the links worked.

 

hi I know this sticky is over a decade old but! is there a how-to on this site for carb cleaning the xj's? i'm about to dig in, been scourging the internet for guidance, wondering if there's already a write up on here (i tried to find a guide on here but so far I don't see any posts! seems like that should be one of the main guides...)

FOLLOW UP: never mind! just saw there are in fact 3 tutorials stickied at the bottom in this section. Dyslexic me didn't see right away. Going to read those now.. thanks
