This is my third Maxim so I'm on a short leash as far as expenses (and the wife's tolerance) are concerned.... lol
I'll switch the bulbs from the right / working side to see if that makes a difference but I'm pretty sure I have the original 27w ones in there....
It's the same bulb and as I mentioned, it sometimes works fine. From what you and Simmy are saying it appears as if I'm not always getting enough...
I've actually replaced the front bulb that is sometimes dim but that didn't seem to help. Thanks for the suggestion!
The left blinker on my XJ1100 is giving me problems. Sometimes it works fine but lately it just lights with no blinking. I know the relay is...
I assumed there must be something going on with the lines - the PO told me the fuel gauge worked but that he just forgot to hook it up when he put...
I somewhat recently picked up a XJ1100. The PO apparently used some clear fuel line that has now distorted - I can even see some springs that...
Thanks! I originally had looked there under the "Brakes" tab but couldn't find my part. I checked again and found they had it listed someplace...
I need to rebuild my right front caliper on my XJ100. Can anyone confirm that the right part# is 4Lo-W0047-01-00? I've found some conflicting...
Just stumbled upon your brake parts. Is it safe to assume these are long gone???

Is the horn assembly 3 separate parts - button, spring, and metal contact "cog"? Thx!
I finally got my 83 Maxim unburied in the garage and on the road for its first ride of the season. Unfortunately, when I was riding I noticed my...

I'm just about complete rebuilding the forks on my XJ650J and wanted to treat my ride to a new set of pads as part of the process. There seems to...
Yup, close but no cigar...... I was able to get the seals out with my seal puller. In hindsight, guess I should have used it right off the bat...
Gotcha! I'll break out the "special" screwdriver tomorrow and report back.. Thanks again to everyone!
Yup, that's it.... I'm thinking a specialized seal puller tool is probably what most shops use to make quick work of this seal...
Maybe I'm missing something but like I said before, everything is already disassembled / apart. The upper tube slid out of the lower fork leg...
My forks are off the bike and totally apart expect for the seals. I'm just afraid of gouging the metal by getting too aggressive..

Response sent.... thx
Looking for a set of forks in really good cosmetic condition - I'll redo the seals. Can you let me know what shape these are in (i.e., rust,...
Thanks for all the advice - it really came in handy.... Just as a FYI, I checked out some boots and ended up going with a set of Tourmaster...
Thanks for all the great advice! I guess while the steel toe issue may be debatable, I need to find something leather that can protect the...

Sounds like good news for me...... Just curious, how far do you think your XJs will run off the reserve??? Thanks again for the help!
Actually I haven't and will do so at my next fill-up. Just seemed rather low given the fact that I heard these bikes can get over 30 mpg's. As...
