I'm partial to the red - ruby red in particular but they are all pretty nice. Black would be next. However, if the bike is cleaned up, any color...
It is definitely bigger than the XJ, but amazingly easy to ride. The low center of gravity keeps it planted on the road.
My XJ750 was taking more time to maintain that I have available, so it is time for a change. I just picked up a 2005 Vulcan Nomad 1600D for a...
Joe, Sorry for the delay. The windshield on the bike is a Slipstream Spirit - https://slipstreamer.com/motorcycle/2-1-1x-2/. I believe it requires...
Sorry, the bike has been spoken for. However, I will follow up with the windscreen when possible. I am currently on the road.
Is this too optimistic? https://albany.craigslist.org/mcy/6677300839.html
It is time for me to sell my XJ. It has been a great bike, but I don't have time to work on it. It has an oil cooler that is only a couple years...
Nice looking bike. I have only seen a couple of these in our area (I'm just north east of you), but that is certainly in the best shape. Good luck...
Looks like y'all had a great event with a good number showing up. Sorry to have missed it, but schedules are busy. I appreciate all the pics.
The battery warning indicator went out as well. It is certainly odd, but I am not great when it comes to electrical issues. The bike also started...
It looks like I can call this one done. The issue ended up being a lose connection at the negative side of the battery. I assumed it would make...
The monitor at the battery was gone when I purchased the bike, a few years ago. I never had the battery light on the display come on, so I never...
Thanks, I will do that. Fortunately there is no electrolyte sensor,. I switched to a sealed battery.
Did I mention that I hate intermittent problems? I just rode home with functional turn signals, a bright headlight, and a fully functional CRM...
The signal and the display both stop functioning when this problem occurs. The LEDs displaying fuel, neutral, kick stand, oil, etc. goes blank and...
Additional information ... I used my lunch time to check the connections. I turned the bike on, without starting it, and the dash lit up. It looks...
As a follow-up, I found this thread - http://www.xjbikes.com/forums/threads/running-lights-and-dashlight-out.28307/#post-240515 - is quite similar...
I have an '82 XJ750 Maxim that has been quite reliable until this morning. All regular maintenance has been done - shims, replacing the fuse box...
I took a short ride on my XJ750. It was a great way to finish the holiday. Hope y'all had a great day. Next year I hope to have chap's.
It's certainly beautiful, but not $6500 beautiful.
Where's the rest of the bike???
Saying a prayer for their families. It can happen in any vehicle, but it really hits home when its on a bike.
My thoughts? Keep your XJ and buy a second bike, if you have the funds. Personally, I want another bike. Something in the 1300CC range would be...
Is there an actual bike under all that rust???
After looking at that mess, I feel really good about my daily rider. If that is "$2500 as it sits," mine must be worth at least $10,000.
+1 on fuel injection. I would also do rear disk brakes instead of drum, as it would make a visual inspection easy.
Perhaps he meant $150????
It is rare that I do not wear (as in if I am going 5 minutes away on 30 mph roads, and even then I usually put it all on) an abrasion resistant...
If you use this and the bike gets taken, do not try to recover it yourself. Get the police involved so you do not compromise your safety.
Oh, I sure hope it isn't many people. I can't be that old, can I?
I suggest waiting to do anything that will be permanent until one there is a response from one of the folks here that regularly works on carbs....
You are likely correct. However, no one at work cares if I pop on the forums as long as the work is getting done. Of course, that also means that...
It is probably just me, but I don't mind ads for forums that are beneficial to me. I can't afford premium memberships, so it's the least I can do.
I'll try to measure them later (at work right now - taking lunch). I would guess they are around 15" long, 10" high, and about 4" deep. They can...
@smeagol21b - Here are some better pics of the bags. They were still $45, but far better than what I have seen in the past. They fit perfectly.
Welcome to the XJ Forums. Enjoy the site.
Welcome to the forums. There is some great information on getting the bike up to safety and operational standards. Start here (Taken from Kmoe's...
You have found a treasure trove of tinkerers here. Feel free to ask questions and contribute to the conversations. There are some great folks here...
Bike and luggage look great. Reasonable for me is within budget. There are simply other competing priorities. However, I did find a nice set of...
They sit right in front of them. Worked out great. I will try to get a better picture tomorrow.
I found these this week off Craigslist; Givi bags. They are absolutely perfect for what I need. They sit plenty high enough to keep from having...
I can't tell you the brakes I purchased last year. I can, however, tell you I got them from Len (XJ4Ever - upper right hand corner of this page)....
Great deal on the bike. Before going too nuts riding it, check the brake lines and the rear brake shoes. Unless the brake system has been serviced...
Pricing can vary depending on the area you are selling. I suggest looking at the Canadian version of Craigslist ads (sorry, I know it starts with...
I've looked high and low, but either my idea of a reasonable price is way too low or everything is way too high. It is probably the prior. It...
Replaced the headlight bulb and the speedometer cable. The needle on the speedometer kept shaking. My fault, as I hadn't been good at keeping it...
The AGM that I have does not have a place to connect the battery sensor . Here is a fix for the issue....
I hate to say it, but unless it has a title, I wouldn't even offer $200. Even then I think its a stretch. Your going to need to invest some...
I'd be happy to pay out 900 for the 700X, if it were close and I had the extra funds. Looks like a good deal. Edit: my wife even liked the idea,...
I read the article, although quickly as I am working. I understand wearing undergarments that will wick away moisture. I also understand the need...
