Thank You!!
Someone used to have a CD with all the XJ tech docs. Is that still around? If so, how could I get one?
I haven't been around in a while. I became quite ill and can't ride anymore. My brother has inherited my bikes which are in various states of...
I have an X as well. I spent a couple of years fixing all the things a n00b who wanted to ride a Harley screwed up trying to make it sound like...
I've used the Por15. The tank sealer goes on just about thick enough to not need the tank afterwards, so I'd feel comfortable about the 5 degrees...
I haven't been around in a long time. I became very ill and weak which has left me in a wheelchair and with severely crippled hands so not only...
Well, that's the kind of thing for which Por15 is perfect, not sure why you don't want to do that. You could try to do an eternal repair/weld,...
Clean her up (elbow grease/polish - especially on top of the carbs and the engine block, make all the non-painted metal shine) and repaint her,...
I know they work. That is why I want them so seriously. I didn't realize he was so far behind on keeping his catalog up to date. How are we to...
Where are these modulators on XJ4Ever? I just searched all 6 pages of the catalog for the word "modulator" and came up empty.
Please let me know when you have done this. I would love to see the plans. I don't have any knowledge of circuits and such. I tried to get my...
I so wish I was there. Germany, in many ways, is more home to me than the US. Certainly fonder memories and gentler times ...
Maybe that was what I had ... I never blew a head gasket - my was a late one - '88
BTW: I often found myself looking for 6th on my 650 and love the overdrive on my Honda V30 ... and that is only a 500cc which also redlines very...
It all has to do with stroke and compression. I was told at one point that the engine in the Ford escort was basically the same as that in a...
You shouldn't have to do that "easing back on the throttle". You should be able to fly right up the gears. And these bikes will do that. If yours...
You have to realize the type of engine these have. They are essentially a racing engine which has been put into a non-racing frame. On top of that...
You have to have 1 set of resistors. There should be one in the spark plug wire. If not, then you need it on the spark plug. I could be...
What was meant by this is a one-time cook off to burn the gas out, not that this would be the case each time you start up. Another way to...
No fair peeking.
I think it is hideous and you should trash it. Send it to me and I'll get it to a recycler ...
For those of you who responded, I do appreciate it and look forward to your responses/reviews. I am interested in more sadists or masochists if...
Hey folks, After many years of thinking about it, recently I decided to finally put my thoughts into action and have been crafting what I hope...
Thank you gents, I found it!. Dang that is hard to see - I had overlooked that any number of times. Mine don't say Maxim xxx, they say 1FG-x and...
Did you get a caliper yet?
In Ohio you can get a court ordered title. You have to provide documentation of attempting to contact title holder if possible (my local BMV...
If it doesn't sell on the forum list and Len/Chacal doesn't want it, you can certainly sell it on fleaBay. If you try to get it running instead...
If the (rubber) lines aren't within 4 years of mfg, they must be replaced. Rubber costs about 2/3 of the price of stainless steel lines from...
Are the header pipes for the various models marked in anyway so as to identify a) model of bike and b) which cylinder they are for? I have a small...
I had this problem myself and it turned out to be the TCI. In my case, the transistors in the TCI were toast - one showing some heat damage and...
Kilted, thanks for that. I knew it was a Triumph instead of a BMW, but I didn't know why. Very interesting that Steve outrode the German stunt...
Remember that you have a channel connecting the fuel input of all 4 cylinders together between the carbs and the intake valves. If one carb is not...
I just remembered ... the bike used in The Great Escape used by Steve McQueen ...
Very nice looking bike. I wish mine looked that good.
That is pretty much how they are designed to function.
Hmmm. The Mouse and the Motorcycle ... The bike in UltraViolet But, what can beat this ... [img]
27K km = 16K mi ... Your English is probably going to be better than most Americans ... "Corse" should be "course". :-)
Actually, the interaction of the phosphurc acid with the metal does create a form of coating/sealant whereever the acid made long contact (at this...
I don't think his sperm need to be futile, I expect a Darwin award well before he can reproduce!
Ah, folks, diet Coke is a lot cheaper than $25 + per gallon. Leave it sit overnight in your tank, just like the evaporust, and when you empty it...
I was cruising on the freeway on a 650 in the left lane and the bike just quit on me. Turned out it was the fuse box. The fuse literally vibrated...
Why would being from Moore Ok make it worse?
There is nothing specific to the bike. Any block which fits the space will work. As I recall, Chacal sells one that works. Ideally, get one which...
I have one. I am in Columbus, Ohio but I have relatives in Port Huron, MI/Sarnia and in Rochester Mi if you wanted to hop across a bridge to avoid...
Sorry, I wasn't referring to the OP, but rather the bike/ad posted by Magiccowinuse - the butchered 650 without a front brake, tail light/brake...
A butchered bike and a major road hazard? And he is asking $1800?! No way that you could pass inspection to get tags.
REPLACE THE FUSEBOX!. Despite how it looks, these fuse boxes are not reliable, especially when 30 years old. When they heat up, they can lose...
I don't know. I think the blinding glare would put the rider at great risk, just like when someone is driving into the sun in the eve or morn ...
