    Parts from a 1986 XJ700 air cooled YICS bike. Need help identifying. I bought the bike as a project and it basically sat while I have been in school the past 4 years. Thanks!

    the top one is the clutch cable bottom anchor bracket that bolts onto the clutch case cover
    the middle two are brake bleed nipples that screw into the brake calipers
    the right hand side one looks like a master cylinder piston
    no idea of what the l/h side one is
    the two rubber covers fit onto the bleed screws

    The thing on the left looks like the guts of an ignition switch that operates the fork lock pin on the right.

    Awesome! The bike had sat for roughly 5 years when it came into my possession. A friend of mine and me took a bunch of old parts off to clean and replace, before the whole bike just ended up sitting again unfortunately. Thanks again!

    Well this sounds like it would make sense being the bike never had a key so we bypassed the ignition and had to rig a toggle switch. It’s hard to remember exactly and I probably will end up trying to replace the ignition for one that has a key if possible.

    Thank you for the in depth answer. The pin does in fact fit into the other piece. Also thank you for clarification on the fuel line clip!
