You weren't kidding about the price! :) I do like it though. I'll try a helicoil with loctite and see how it goes. I was thinking about heat and...
Oh, so the helicoil isn't a stock thing? Thanks for that.
I did a little looking and as mentioned above, learnt its a helicoil. I guess my concern of putting a new helicoil of the same size (M6) would be...
So, I've now taken the exhaust off. I knew there was some damage to the exhaust 1 of the head but now that I've got a clear view, there's a crack...
Just went to check that and appears one of the screwshas threaded the head... the tapping does sound like it is internal however until I retap...

I checked the valve clearances not long ago and 5 of the 8 are out of spec. The new shims required in accordance with the Haynes book are only 1...
Bah, bummer.
Other than stock, what rear discs have you tried that fit the xj750. Are the xj900 identical?
As discussed Bushy, here are the pics.
Correct - Clutch hand lever side, exhaust cam.
Left - next to exhaust cam of cylinder 2.
I measured my valve clearances today and the reaults are per attached. Two things I noticed that caused concern. A crack on one of the exhaust...
New coils have gone on. Of note, once I finally got the firing order right, it sounded incredibly responsive. Great rev/throttle synchronization....
New question! Whilst I was working out how to mount the new coils, I spotted these two pieces of metal in the heat sink in identical places....
2008.
Chacal, thanks for explaining that! That helps my understanding a lot. Re the coils, apart from the mounting situation, would they work with an...
I was looking to put in new ignition coils however the length of the new coils don't align like the originals. I noticed both mounting ends of the...
The amount is what scared me. I didn't realise there wasthat much smoke/vapor that comes out. I was almost convinced it was piston rings but that...
To be honest I can't be sure smell wise. The oil did possibly smell fuel like but wasn't 100%. Here's a link to the video on YouTube. [MEDIA]
Gents, how much blowby is ok? I got registration today and tookcthe bike for it'sfirst proper ride. I have a small filter on motor blowby outlet...
To the point where you wouldn't need to reject for pods and pipe? I just ask as this is what I'm about to do!
Just be aware that the US carbs have the air/fuel ratio screw capped, so you can't make any adjustments. Unlike the Australian carbs apparently. I...
Yeah, I've bypassed the relay by bridging the red/white for the meantime. Just frustrating as I caused the problem! All good. If anything further...
Yeah, no clutch safety switch, just the neutral light.
I'll nip thos conversation in the butt. If the problem persists, I'll see a dr. I was changing speedo and shorted a couple of wires. It blew a...
Sorry, do you mean no - not interchangeable or no - I don't need the yamaha relay?
Are the circut cutoff relays interchangeable with a standard automotive 4 pin relay or does it need to be the bloody expensive Yamaha part?
They came with the bike. I'm 99% sure these are the ones though:...
Been absent but the bike has progressed. Ive mounted the tank, seat and 3d printed a mount for the caddy taillight and light internals. New...
I think they'll be in good nick but will see soon. Annoying thibgs is 2 sets popped up on ebay from Melbourne for $50 but it was after I purchased...
Recently purchased a set through ebay. Cheers guys. Just waiting for delivery
Are you sticking to the stock carbs?
Looking for a set of stock Hitachi carbs for an 83 XJ750R. After a complete set, however will consider if some bits are missing as I'll likely do...
Hi mate, are the carbs still available? Do you have any pics/would you be prepared to send to Australia?
Also would this type.of wear on a diaphragm warrant replacement?
Evening guys, I'm pulling the carbs apart now (with lots of pics). Couple of questions at this stage; 1. Any chance anyone can guess the model...
Thanks for the link! I knew we had discussed some probs but not the current. My bike (same bike) has been sadly sitting since that time. I now...
As in they all have the same carb - same rebuild kit?
It's an 84 XJ750R If fuel has made its way there, it'll obviously need a oil drain/filter yeah? The carbs on my bike say Mikuni but how am I...
Hey all, I finally have a garage and can work on my bike once again! (It's been sitting for over a year) Any help in explaining why fuel may be...
Any recommendations for a Sydney based workshop to reco an XJ750 motor. I imagine that many could do so but just after one that has a history of...
Thanks guys. My build is getting there, slowly step by step. Cheers!
Hey guys, do I need a gas tank cap that has a breather? I just know that Some do and some don't and not sure really what the go is. Cheers.
Just bought a new fuel tap and noticed this red sealant used. I'm guessing this may have been smuthered on the inside of the tank.
No worries at all, I was just chasing a number that get a rough starting point. Cheers mate.
They were my thoughts at the time of purchase but was just uncomfortable about drilling an oil temp sensor into the bike. I've since learnt that I...
It's a filler cap replacement.
