FWIW, if you decide to look into replacing the steering bearing I just did them with the All Balls tapered bearings. In fact I was beginning to...

How much for the carburetors?
Hey @ZombieJoe sorry about that. I've cleaned out my inbox since your notification but to answer your question(s) - No I don't have any of those...
Sorry, I've thrown away the chain guides. The spare engine was sitting in the middle of the garage taking up space so I took it to the scrap yard...
I've sold the extra rear grab bar. To be clear, I do have another rear grab bar that is not in use since a luggage rack is mounted on my XJ550...

I responded to your long message, Edwin. Please don't come across it as me being negative. It sounds like Busted Knuckles can help you out better...
Thanks for asking. Carb boots appear to be good condition. I'll snap a few close up pictures and re-post or send you a PM in the morning. Shocks...

Hand levers are sold. 750 mufflers are sold. I'm surprised nobody else has asked about the rest of these parts. Where else can you find $3 shims?...

[IMG][/URL][/IMG] [IMG] The 650 fork emblem would be the bottom one shown in the above picture. If you just want the orange colored 650 emblem I...
Unfortunately I do not know the answer to that. Electrical components on these bikes are not my forte. They might OHM out at different specs?
Can you provide a picture for confirmation? I might be able to help you out. Taking apart a 550 engine right now actually.
If the chain guard is compatible from maxim to seca, you can have mine for $5 plus shipping. Let me know zip code
Update: the following have been sold. Maxim 650 tool tray Maxim 550 tool tray frame straddle with reflectors Maxim 550 rear grab bar rail Maxim...
I just confirmed last evening that the mirror male threads do NOT match the female threads of typical yamaha lever mounts. Flat (drag style)...

I'm in the cleaning mood again & would like to sell parts similar to finding stuff at a garage sale - cheap! Several extra parts in which a...
Are you still in need of a 550 maxim caliper? I have one. $20 shipped
http://columbus.craigslist.org/mcy/5613939866.html I'm confused. It has exhaust tail pipe (4 to 1) like its a 650, it has side covers, chain...
Update: both header pipes, original handle bar grips, stator cover, and gear shift cover are sold.
Never received the paypal money. I've replied to you with a p.m. with an email address and the package is ready to be shipped, just waiting on you...
The two headers are in okay condition. Like I said, there is rust on the inside curved portion of each pipe but again, I haven't touched these...
Yeah sorry its only the two middle headers. If you're still interested I can snap pics. They do have surface rust but not severe.
With some elbow grease and polishing these covers would be in excellent condition. The grime you see is just grease - look at the gear shift cover...
Yes, stator cover is from a maxim 650. I can snap a picture of each for you and send it via text message or post on here, later this evening if...
Forgot to mention that shipping will be separate at buyer's expense. Shouldn't be a surprise but just wanted to clarify. Also I don't have a...
A little about me since this site layout has changed and I'm not as active on the site nowadays. I miss the days when Bigfitz52 was around...
Yeah, I'm smart enough to know that lol. I've done this before (bigfitz was kind enough to send me the extra plates last time I did this, free of...
I'm trying to remove the clutch boss and hub on my xj550. The locking tab on the clutch nut is straightened out and my problem is the clutch nut...
vacuum caps for carb boots? I only need 2 but would take all 4 if available. Mailed in a regular envelope should be suffice
care to elaborate on this? If its directly pointing down you can still get a vacuum line on it... and no I'm not being a smarta$$, I've currently...
The vacuum line for fuel valve does NOT have to be #3 but that is what it was when the bike was manufactured. Put it on whatever boot your heart...
got it Dave, thanks again! YICS go \ \ / / and non-YICS go \ \ \ \ My number 1 will be rotated 180 degrees and swapped to number 3 so the...
maybe a better question rather than the year is what engine they come from. Non-YICS or YICS? orientation is the big factor as they aren't suppose...
carb boots? If so, what year?
bottom out the pilot screws and then back them out about 2.5 turns is usually what the gurus suggest on here. after that you'll want to use a...
I was told popping can also be an effect of running too lean.
These are sold. Closing thread
