1983 XJ750 E-II

Fellow xj enthusiasts,

I am currently working on a 1983 XJ750 E-II. This was a non-runner bike when I got her. Now I got her running but not really fine tuned. Decided to checked the valve clearances and got 4 not in spec so with the help of the tool and some spare shims from my 650, I got the valves into spec. Looking forward to fine tune the bike in the next few days.

My main concern is for the parts. I heard that this bike got a XJ900 seca frame fitted with 750 engine. I just wanted to clarify if its just the frame that is from the 900 or does it include the forks, wheels, gauges and other parts except the engine and electrical. Im pretty sure its a E-II model. Frame and engine number starts with 29R.

Can someone confirm with me about the parts?

I am from the Philippines btw thus having some problems in some parts availability. Thanks!

 

Yup, basically.

To put it very simply. What you have is an XJ900 that has the 750 seca engine bolted into it.

Unless you are in the UK, or OZ this is a very common problem due to the import restrictions at the time. The UK, and OZ continued to receive the 900 under the 900F/900N model through the 94 model. The only difference being the change to the frame mounted full fairing.

If you need common service parts (gaskets, etc...). Contact XJ4ever through the banner link at the top of the page.

I have a Japanese parts manual for my EII so PM me if you need any part numbers.

 

Thanks for the clarification hogfiddles, MiGhost and z32800! So basically, most of the parts except the engine and the engine electrical parts like ignition coil and tci will be from a 1983 xj800 seca, is that right?

Hoping to get this bike in good running condition in the future!

 

Correct.

 

PM'd you re parts info; keep this bike in original condition as they are rare!! show us some pics if possible.

 

Got your PM and replied to it.

Thanks guy. I'll try to share pics as soon as possible. Too bad the bikes rear end and seat is not stock anymore.

Should I try to get it back to stock form or is it okay to modify the headlight and rear end?

 

Get back to stock if poss, there are a few spares on ebay, but also search for XJ900 (1983).

 

I'll get this bike 1st in good running condition before deciding in the looks restoration. Ill keep you guys posted.

 

Hi, I have bought one if these R29 bikes by chance, was only wanting a solid base to cut up for a cafe racer, now i am torn lol, would you be able to share the parts list with me please, cheers Elbre

 

Hi, any chance your parts manual might identify the electrical gizmo attached to the headstock of my 29R. It consists of a plastic quadrant rail fitted around then headstock just above the bottom yoke. In it runs a metal tab that when you turn the bars , the tab runs in the rail (maybe electrical pick up points ?). There are a number of cables attached to the plastic quadrant that terminate in a connector block that ultimately lead up into the instrument binnacle.
