Now added a tatty but coming together XJ9 to the stable , she’s ‘83.. of course and hasn’t been run in 12 years ... got her going a few days ago...
Good to hear.... I MUCH prefer the look of the earlier, fork mounted fairing... Does it 'flex' at speed? Any flip up options for the screen??...
So only 3 others, apart from yours......and mine, lol !! Thanks for the info!! ( Does the later 1/2 fairing fit right on....with appropriate...

Lol..I'm a Brit, an 'ex pat' as it were,( and an ex bike courier, know those places all too well!!) but still being British, I dunno how exactly...
Yes, although the cam chain guide 'rubber' CAN break up, it's usually the thicker, 'fixed' alternator chain guide, that breaks up into 'bigger'...
Yup that was them I think, Wheels International, Hockcliffe, Bedfordshire........looooong long time ago.....1991 to be precise, they were 'multi...
At the time ( 1992) I too bought a couple of spare motors.....then had my mate do all the work, I was working, so didn't have the time, to...
Yes....no other way, no other 100% way......split 2 motors, also my friend at the time, her XJ locked up, in 3rd gear, ended up splitting her...
This is EXACTLY what happened to my XJ......had to ride home in first gear, about 25 miles!!
You might get 'lucky', using the inspection hole technique, to fish out some pieces of guide, also an engine oil flush,or two etc.....might buy...
Yup, you're the first mate!, I was just trying to reinforce your advice, to the original poster !! ( hey...are Wheels International still in the...
I'd go with the above poster...possible Hy Vo alternator chain drive guide has broken up, which can mean bits of mettalised rubber inside the...
FYI valve clearances COULD be an issue, usually too tight means hard starting when cold.....when hot, it's a little easier ......although yes, the...
use your truck/car battery.....
Maybe a large-ish 3D printer, you could easily? make a 2 piece, pretty airtight set?
I was always sorry they didn't make the XJ series 3 cylinder either.....honestly, the XS 7....never rode the 8, wasn't a terrible engine, it DID...
Hahaha,no, not really, lol...I was asked, so I replied....It was a bit rougher than I thought it might be, I mean, after I got back, I felt fine...

Oh, I was out doing deliveries, roundtrip, over 2 days, so from Long Island, to CT, near the Mass border, then onto upstate NY, then into NJ,...

You'll not get the bowls off without removing the carbs.....I've done it ONCE, using a 45 degree JIS screwdriver, but it was NOT easy, and I was...
Its an old s skool, 14MM ....sometimes another socket, in your socket set MIGHT fit, but you really need an extension for the inside ones.........
1-2 then that probably rules out the coils/electrical....still check the plugs, there was a plug spanner in the original toolkit, if not these are...
Coil would be the first check, coils fire 1-4, other coil fires 2-3 but its a wasted spark system so coil(s) always fire all 4..... Coils are...
Its ..tricky', certainly at a minimum carbs (obviously) boots, inlet rubbers, at the engine block have to be removed....if you heat up the airbox...
Wondering which one!! I particularly liked the candid-ness that Yamaha, as 2 stroke kings, were sometimes OFTEN playing catch up, in the 4 stroke...
