I found with mine that the bigger problem were the needle size holes, barely noticeable to the naked eye, but if I held them up to the light it...
G'day, I had the same issue with my XJ650 RJ a few years back and bit the bullet and ordered 4 replacement diaphragms from this company:...
I read on the instructions that the seller suggested leaving it in place, however, I thought that if YICS was good enough for Yamaha, it was good...
I bought one recently off ebay for around $40 including postage http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SALE-YICS-El ... 460ae1ff4c I had already...
I recently bought a set of diaphragms from JBM industries and they were great! Easy to install, noticed the difference straight away, you might...
Thanks for the feedback, over the next couple of days I will tidy it up a bit just to be sure it does not scratch anything, I was just so excited...
I am not sure how many people have the same problem: Come time to change the fork oil, take out a coin or put one in, or a top up with different...
Hi all, another 1981 XJ650RJ in Werribee, Melbourne. Just got the bike back on the road after a year off, from the changes to the road worthiness...
Hello all, I recently ordered 4 diaphrams off www.jbmindustries.com for my Yamaha XJ650 RJ at only $20 each. The parts were a sweet fit, the...
Yes it will. This site advocates the sale and distribution of what is called the "XJ compact disk" I imagine the sale cost of the CD does...
G'day, How do you mean condensation? I have never had the issue with a bike. Do you mean water in the oil? I guess if the engine breather...
People of course have their different ideas about consumer products, fair enough. However, I always treat company product information with a...
I just had a look at the back of the Morey's bottle, and it lists motorcycles as safe to use the additive with. Alot of my friends use...
I understand what you are saying about wet clutches and anti friction additives, but I have ridden the bike almost daily for 5000kms, with NO...
I imagine they might do this same, but concerning the clutch? no problems! But be aware that my old XJ650 does not pull stumps or do burnouts,...
I use Bridgestone BT45 on the front, Michelin Macadam on the rear, 32psi front and 34psi on the rear. The tyres might be a bit low inflation...
Ever since I started using Morey's "heavy duty oil stabiliser" I have been trolling the net looking for semi authentic information about the...
welcome to the fold! I live over in werribee, I have spotted another xj650 1982, blue, riding around here too, and another in geelong sporting a...
I have run NGK iridium's in my xj650 1982 for a few years now and find them to be great! The bike idles better, and runs quieter when I use 98...
I cannot believe people are arguing over copyright laws on motorcycle manuals. I have uploaded manuals onto the web for free download, I also...
I should have included the bike, it is an XJ650 RJ sports style, ie: non-cruiser. It is an Australian model so I am assuming the wiring...
After balancing the carbs at home to an acceptably rough idle, things were going well, I then turned on the headlight and the bike idle went...
After putting up with pies supporters all day, I feel the need for speed, now I have my carbs a bit healthier anyway I can actually get onto the...
The bike now idles great! I riched up the idle jets to 2 turns out, and closed the butterfly screws one full turn each, and hey presto, a nice...
G'day, Yeah, I did a bench synch, twice, if it is a fraction of a milimeter out, that may be why I need to get it synched. If one butterfly is...
It is good to get some feedback for my problem, throttle cable is fine, the idle speed screw is not touching the idle lever at all, and the inlet...
I am having problems with my Xj650 RJ 1982. I recently took the carbs apart, cleaned everything, checked jets, et all. reason being that since I...
Thanks for that, I have just reconditioned the diaphragms, sealed the airbox, new filter- and carby no. 3 is running at 60% Hopefully it is an...
I have an XJ650 RJ or J as it might be in the states, and I was wondering if there is a clear picture of the correct placement of the jets inside...
The roads where I live and ride are horrible! deep long ruts that when you hit them at 100kmph plus, virtually bottoms out the whole bike, as well...
Hello, I live in an area that has very bumpy roads, I am currently experimenting with 20w oil in the forks, but I have the oppurtunity to get...
I can understand the moderators enforcing the forum rules when it comes to disallowing copyrighted items to be listed on the forum, this is their...
Could this bushing wear cause a knocking sound? I have good bearings all around, but a persistant knocking. cheers
Yes, the diaphragms are seated properly. I just do not understand the issue, I have the idle screw virtually not doing anything. I am...
I should have added how the bike was running. Before I sealed up all the leaks, the bike would rev all the way to redline, with a great kick in...
Recently I noticed my plugs getting white, so I decided to freshen up everything in the air intake system. I repaired the holes in the...
I recently replaced the cracking rubber diaphrams on my XJ650 RJ, only to discover the replacements were not that much better. I applied some...
The reason for my initial interest was that there is a knocking in my forks, even after all the bearings have been done, and i am thinking that...
G'day, I have come across a 93' XJ600 front end, forks, caliper, disc, all in good nick, and cheap too! I want to buy them and am considering...
Hello all. here was me thinking the Ozzie side of the forum was abandoned!? my XJ is an 1982 RJ. I am in the process of hassling a wrecker...
hello. The local wreckers are no good, I need a speedo and none are even willing to look into their stock for one that even comes close!...
Re: Parting out: 81 XJ 650 hello. what chance you might have a speedo? Although Australia is kms, i cannot find one down here. if you did...

I have a xj650rj, over 100k on the clock. I figure in a few years the engine will need some work. I recently picked up a 650 block and head, I...
I will have to ponder the speed of light aspect when it comes to commuting to work, they might be getting extra days out of me!? but concerning...
I have an XJ650 RJ 1982, and when i decide to boot it up to 120kmph the headlight dulls, i drop to 110kmph and the light comes back full strengh....
The same sort of happens with mine, 1982 XJ650 RJ. On my old bikes i could idle the bike in gear and stop the rear wheel from moving. On my bike...
In reference to my earlier post, I have decided to shorten my trip. only going as far as warnambool, then heading up to halls gap, and returning...
