i agree - but the funny thing is, the 'bay bike had an "mot" (annual safety certificate) and was roadworthy but a week later, there is no mot and...
I've been away for a while after selling my xj600 (which I tried to buy back twice). Recently I've been scouring the net for another and found one...
[IMG] I've posted this before - the "air filter" is a pair of ladies tights (Pantyhose)!
Hi - it's only an opinion but by the 80's the dangers of asbestos were well known so I would think it unlikely. The two worst types of asbestos...
From the Haynes, a 1998 on model should have 14.1 - 14.9v output at 5000 revs/min under "No load" ie lights not on with a charged battery. The...
I'll send the write up - although it is not for the faint hearted - or guaranteed! If you really are considering selling I would like to see it. I...
I live in Bury Too! Its a small world. The TCI may be ok - do you have 12v to it? there is also a New Zealand (Hyperpak) company who advertise on...
Hi Mate, I am at work so cannot see a manual but the diversion does not have carbon brushes in the alternator, it used a permanent magnet system...
Could this be pinking (pinging)? Possibly a mixture that is too weak?
I imagine you mean the XJ600 diversion (Single disc)? I know it is 60 bhp whereas the older 1985-1991 model was 72. In the UK it is possible to...
I know it's a long shot but any UK members with an XJ600 project they no longer want?In fact any xj from 550 to 900!
The vac blanking caps are very nice but on my XJ600, two were linked together and the other two were linked and then connected to the vacuum fuel tap.
I noticed the different newspapers used - now its the Sunday express! I like the woof keeping you company!
[IMG] Sorry about the photo quality - it came from the negative. I was 17 when I owned the Gt550 triple. The expansion chambers very VERY noisy!
I "Inboxed" you. No, it's not my old bike
Hmmmm.. yet more evidence my old bikes previous owner(s) were butchers. Your image file didnt show up - but the Haynes manual shows a part without...
The problem is that while the outside of the relay arm has a disc cover with an internal seal, the inner face has nothing, meaning that all the...
Bensalf - I did exactly what you did, making my own seals. I had the (fortune?) of finding a "Betor" (Spanish) monoshock for only £130 but that...
The youtube vid reminded me of the college car park (But we all had bikes!) when I was 17. Of course, nobody had a bike newer than 3 years old and...
Can you post the ebay link? Be careful how you connect the ammeter in - you need to stay away from the starter motor! What bike is it going...
Do a search here - there is an article somewhere abou ideal resistances and I believe it is an either/or rather than "Both" with regard to...
Are the two pickup wires in the top two left hand plug slots?
The FZ loom shows 3 wires, B (Common ground),Gy and O to the pickup but the XJ loom only has two W/R and W/B as long as these are in exactly the...
Another thought - which TCI are you using? The connections could be different between models? Looking at the two diagrams, the looms look...
Can you pm me an email address and I'll send you the two wiring diagrams from FZ and XJ600 - which are photos from the Haynes manual - which was a...
Some time ago I tried to explain the uk licensing laws with regard to motorcycles. At 16 I had an ap50 and 17 a gt250. When I passed my test it...
Hmm... I wonder if the A100 wasn't available in the US? I had an AP50 and thought it was the best thing since sliced bread until I bought a...
I sent the scan which was a free online download of "Haynes" manual. There is a sidestand relay shown, with a wire between the relay and the...
The ap 50 had 5 gears and cci, so no premix. It was reckoned to be slightly faster but then I had a college mate with a fantic cabelero which was...
http://xjdiagrams.thundervalleypower.com/ Here are some XJ 600 schematics - the "1984" Xj600 UK is closest to the FJ600. I do have a picture...
http://xjdiagrams.thundervalleypower.com/ Select your bike and print out the diagram. From memory, my XJ600 kill switch would give the...
Fantastic! The old photos made me smile, especially as I had an AP50 - which I had to pay my father back for. Now I know where all the ebay XJs...
I know us Brits are few and far between here but if anyone has an XJ in the UK gathering dust send me a pm. Cheers
No, I hate trikes!
Was running when I parked it up. Carbs may want cleaning.....
Well, I googled universal rectifier xj750 and one came up for 85 dollars. On the assumption it is a similar part and it is being sold as a direct...
Did the new rectifier come with a wiring diagram you can post/link to?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/gds/Yamaha-XJ600- ... 763/g.html I'd agree with this refiew, although I owned the older xj600 (Fj600 in the states). I...
The uk xj 600 (fj600) had an almost 10 year production run. Look at eBay here for spares but be aware later regulators and alternators are...
I have a friend - honest - who has an XS750 which stood for a couple of years (It was running - just). The rings managed to sieze, which he...
Did they ever transmit the program in the US when they buy 3 cars in the states (instead of renting) and drive through Florida? Clarkson buys a...
[img] i think Del and Rodney didn't do Reliant any favours! One of my friends had a "Supervan 3" - called a "Plastic pig" because of its...
Sent you a pm - if you cut and reconnected the pickup wires, they might be the wrong way round.
How about this for an awesome sound? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q3HoZHk2yNY
Of course, we need to see a PICTURE!!
If you look hard enough, there are free manuals on the net - of course I would never condone downloading one but you might just look to see if you...
+1 on everything Fitz says! Also $300 really isn't much at all.
If you google for a manual you will probably find a free one to download. Make sure you have the right quantity and type of oil. You really need...
Diagram here http://xjdiagrams.thundervalleypower.com/ Also make sure the red and black wires (DC output) are connected. I had a bike years...
The XJ400 you have was a Japanese model but the FJ600 and XJ 600 of the same year have fork oil capacities of 270ml 10w oil. There is a...
