This thread is unclean. Purify it.
Been done. Let me Google that for you
I seem to recall seeing a story on how HD started doing this -- someone there saw or heard of it being done in Europe, and liked the idea. It...
Don't you know that shaft drives can't do wheelies? :D
That's the bike I had before I got the Maxim. Ate clutch cables like candy. Starter didn't work -- kickstart came in real handy. Steering head...
I would do that anyway. Even if you unstick the float needle once, it'll likely do it again. I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Make...
Took me way too long to figure out what that second picture was. I was going to ask what it was and how did all that hair get inside the carbs......
Check in with Chacal and see if he has the factory service manual.
I don't know about that one... Steven sounds like he's trying to hack up a hairball. Your secret's out... :p
Inspirational music? Plenty to choose from. 1) The abovementioned "Roar" by Katy Perry. (I got the eye of the tiger, a fighter/dancing through...
No, I'm Dave, man! (pounds on door) /who is it?
Just checked the system I was using to do all the writeups -- I have the original file I did up in Wordperfect, and the original pictures that...
Bad link, bad! Daddy spank! An old online file repository I don't use any more. Let me check the XJ4Ever site... well, I'll be dipped. It's...
Seeing as how the Honda engine is 2.4x larger than that of the Maxim, I would think so. :) My cars have smaller engines.
Saw that. Could use a bit of context, though. Perhaps something along the lines of "I thought this needed a post of its own rather than being...
Here's one I did up years back. It's the front wheel as opposed to the rear, but by and large the same principles apply. Front wheel bearing...

He does? Great! He can talk to Photobucket and get them to offer free hosting again.
Not quite. :) Was poking around on Reddit a few days ago, decided to search on XJs for whatever reason, saw a thread from a while back where...
Hug me till you drug me, honey; Kiss me till I'm in a coma: Hug me, honey, snuggly bunny; Love's as good as soma.
Had a similar problem years back. Turned out to be a loose connector coming off the rear signal stem. Pinched the female spade connector a...
Just went there, and you're right -- the "ordering information" link on the right defaults back to the main page. IIRC, that would pop up a...
I was under the impression that the engine is a modified version of the one used in the FZR. One of the mods made was to allow the use of...
Woo Woo! This x3.
Speaking as one who may or may not have done this before (can't remember, it's been too long), which grease would you suggest?
Not sure exactly which spring you're referring to, nor which shaft, but here's a writeup I did on replacing the rear brake shoes, from removal to...
Now I had to go watch that again. Thanks for that. :) For the uninitiated... MagnaVolt - Lethal Response /No embarrassing alarm noise //No...
This. It's the reason I installed Len's kit on mine and did the writeup in the first place.
Since you have five sets, I don't suppose it's necessary to mention Chacal sells them. :cool: That being said, when I did mine I took a cheap...
Yeah, yeah, necroposting. I missed this one the first time around. Bosuzoku. Reminded me of the whacked-out cars/trucks/vans they have, but...
Ah. With a failing TCI, the engine would crank but not fire. It was also not temperature sensitive. I think K-Moe has the right of it -- look...
Exhaust collector. Headers go in, mufflers come out. My XJCD parts cross reference doesn't seem to want to run, so I did a quick google, and a...
Lights still on when this happens? Could be a failing TCI. Had that happen with my 750. If you can, borrow a spare from someone and swap it in...
Send a message to a user on here named Chacal -- he is our resident parts supplier, possesses a wealth of knowledge, and is an all-around good...
Goes to the battery sensor. This file will explain what the wire and sensor do, and what you can do if you don't have (or can't install) the...
No. The mixture screw sits in a part of the carb known as the pilot circuit. What it does is feed the air/fuel mixture (it's already premixed at...
This. Had the same issue. One piston was off kilter. When I got done, it was like night and day.
True, but if the floats do hang down too low, the needle WILL bind up in the seat. When that happens, the bowls will overflow. Ask me how I know...
I don't think so -- as you can see from the writeup, two screws to take off the latch assembly/bottom plate, and the ball valve is accessible....
Heh. Welcome to my world. :) Years back, before I got the XJ, I was riding a Kawasaki KZ750 Twin. The choke was a button that one pulled out,...
Hrm. Thought they had been done afterwards according to the timestamps, but I probably read them wrong. Thought as much, but I figured it...
Ya think? It's gotten so bad I didn't even want to check the recent posts without logging in. EDIT: 3 links removed by SnoSheriff Not sure...
I think it's a browser issue - Alt-8800 spits out the backwards apostrophe normally located under the tilde, at least on this version of Firefox....
[IMG] “Dad, these are just crappy knock offs!” “I know a genuine Panaphonics when I see one. And look, here’s Magnetbox and Sorny!”
You can. Clean and lube the ignition switch
Meh. I keep thinking they were trying to overhype whatever it was they were talking about. That aside, I just had a Brilliant Idea (tm). Two...
There's also this: The HCP14180 Battery Sensor Bypass Kit Save yourself the trouble of sourcing parts when it's been done for you.
[IMG] Not amused.
Having trouble with carbs? You could try the keto diet and cut back some... oh, wait. :) This might help. See page 19 for the explanation you...
Well, that answers THAT question. :) Always wondered when one could start again. ---- Don't be offended when you see my latest pop monstrosity...
