I have an xj550 been trying to figure out my spark problem. Ive replaced fuse box, coils, battery, plugs, gone over the wiring harness. Im at the...
I'm not finished with it yet this is just a mock fit up to see what all I will need to change and how I can make it safer.
Ehh I think it'll be ok.
Why do you say that swede?

Yes. have you never seen one?
I just opened the middle hole for the new stem to fit through it.
These races are flat with a channel in the middle for the bearings to ride in. I didn't machine any bearings I replaced my old bearings with new ones.
I removed my stock bearing races brought them to work and opened the I/D of the race to match the O/D of the stem then replaced the old bearings...
Looks, better traction, more stopping power updated suspension, cruise control.
The motor will be back in either later today or at the latest tomorrow evening. I just sat on it with a friend sitting on the bars for weight.
The 550s aren't meant for speed. I like the way it looks and from the feel of it doesn't feel much different than the stock front end.
Doesn't it tho!! im digging how both tires are the same size.
Here is a side view
I will take a few more pictures when I get home this evening.
I also put new smaller bearings in the races, there was about an 8" gap at the top witch I had a couple spare old races I used as a shim and...
I took out both the top and bottom bearing races an had them bored out to the same size as the goose on the zx6 forks.
these are a set of 2012 zx6 inverted forks on my 82 xj frame. Also ask questions if you have any.
This was a fun project to conquer.

Im in the process of putting a 2012 ninja zx6 motor on my xj 550 frame.
Anyone ever done a sport bike water cooled fuel injected motor swap?
I'm in the same process on doing this to my bike as well. Is there a way you can email me on what all you had to do and some pictures?

So my bike quit on me again. i checked my battery and i even hooked cables from my blazer to my bike and still no start. What else am I missing...
Very very frusterating.
These guys are awesome!!
Should this be about 12 volts?
Is there a special way that the alternator cover has to come off? i feel like im going to rip some wires when i gently pull on it.
Thanks guys. i got the bike without mufflers they dont have to be stock right? Is it all in the length for the back pressure like a car?
I usually do oil based paint to keep the water away and its super durable.
Can everyone see the pictures of my bike I put in this thread?
Ok thanks
Well i guess the right question to ask is has anyone had one go out or heard of one going bad?
On my way home this morning my battery died and i was stranded on the side of the road. I had to walk my bike about a mile and a half to my...
