If I’m loosening the very top pinch bolts that’s different than what I read in a fork adjustment forum. If I loosen the two pinch bolts and center...
So when I first bought my bike ('82 xj750j) the handlebars were slightly kinked.. That wasn't the worst of the damage considering it didn't run...
So they are the clear fuses. I have multiple. Replaced all the old ones now. Nothing blows when I put a 10 a in ignition. The starter just doesnt...
To clarify. I already have a 30a main. When there is a 10 in ignition nothing happens, starter won’t click only works with 14 in ignition spot
Original fuse box. No extra lights. 30a main fuse is what it takes, the fuse box and owners manual say so, I guess I’ll start with a new battery
So after fighting some engine battles with this bike I finally got it running. Its a 1982 Xj750j. When I first went to fire up the bike I stuck...
Close will help for the running synch
I’m looking for a set of carbs synced and ready to go for my bike, I will send these old ones too you as well as pay you for them.(old ones in...
One less thing to worry about! thanks.
Appreciate the feed back, my buddy has the same bike just an 83. I just helped him do his valves last night. Tower probably isn’t the right term,...
One other thing, the cam chain tower is super loose, has play back and forth underneath the tight chain. I can almost push it out from under the...
Xj550h yes. I am aware that this is not fixable with a shim, which is why I’m here. It’s definitely weird. I’m using my feelers correct. I...
I haven’t adjusted anything. All I have been doing so far is investigating. I know somethings screwed up here, so I want to diagnose the problem...
If the valves are severely bent or not seated properly, that would throw off the clearances correct?
The lobes are slightly blued. I was wondering if a lifter spring could be rusted, or just super junked up not allowing a proper return. I...
To reiterate once again, the x was a typo, we’re talking about an air-cooled maxim.
Intake clearances are worse than the exhaust, it looks like the tops of the pistons have what looks like rust deposits, could just be severe...
The x was a typo. It’s an airhead
I appreciate the input, I will do some tinkering tonight and give an update tomorrow.
Also, if valves are bent will that cause the clearances to loosen?
Ryengoth 650's and 750's are shaft driven. I believe the tower is missing a spring. When I pulled the current sparks the were super fouled. The...
Today I bought a beyond super rough running 1982 XJ750J[-corrected] maxim. When I started it up dead cold on a forty degree day it shot through...
