    Welcome to the forum. Len aka chacal sells lots of parts for XJ owners here. You can email him on info@xj4ever.com and checkout the parts for your bike by clicking on the XJ4ever logo on the top right of your screen.

    Welcome, but a word of caution - replacing the exhaust will not stop your bike starting due to needing rejetting - you have another issue.
    Oh poo, misread, so you removed your airbox as well - stand by for some major "you don't wanna do that".
    My answer is the same, but to a lesser degree, no airbox and a different exhaust won't stop it running from cold. Make sure the PRI is working on the petcock...

    Pods should not prevent starting also.

    Battery condition? Check while cranking should stay above 10V, anything lower and spark will be too weak
