I just want to thank you all for the great hlp you have given me. But I was just running into more expensive issues. So I traded it in on a 2007...
When I start my bike, sometimes it spins and clunks. then starts on the second or third try. Longer if it is hot. How can I tell if it is the...
OK, I will be replacing the fuse box with the inlines. Also, I was going to put of changing the back lights to LED's but maybe I will do that now...
I have not upgraded the fuse box yet. Waiting for some money. But I guess now is the time. I did convert my rear turn signals into running lights....
Thanks Chacal for that info. That makes sense, except that the tach works if I am in gear, but in neutral or if I hit the brakes it drops to zero....
It is not the speedo that is down, it is the tach. I thought thatit worked off of a cable. Not electrical?
On my way home from work today, my turn signal fuse blew. Don't know why yet. But, When I was in neutral or I had my brakes on, my tach dropped...

I use Kroil all the time at work on corroded brass equipment. It works great. Just let it sit for a while. It will work.
Thanks Rick. I will just ignore it then. (as an issue). It was just a little un-nerving. Especially at high revs.
I know that the vales on the XJ's tap a little louder than normal. But, has anyone ever used Motor Honey or something similar to quite them down a...
What kind of cold temps are you talking about? I am more concerned about heat. The summers here get up to the 110's

Well that makes a bit of sense seaguy. It screwed John Denver, but, I guess I am will to be a bit more relaxed now. What is this about nitrogen in...
I am afraid to take the freeway or go faster than 65. I want to but I can't get it out of my mind. 20 years ago, I had a rear tire blow. Big accident.
Why don't we worry about flat tires while going 70 mph on the freeway?
Try this wiring setup. Found elsewhere in another forum. The wire colors go to the prongs as follows: X ----> Br (brown) P ----> G/Y (yellow w/...

Sweet thanks for the info. I was afraid I was going to have to pay big bucks for one.
Ok, So this weekend, I am going to be changing out the turn signal sockets with 1157 sockets for running lights. I located my flasher relay...
Cool, It just seems that when I am riding at 5k that I am winding it out. But I guess not. I will open it up next time I am on the freeway.
No No. It is not what I meant. Sorry, I was just wondering what a good cruising rpm would be for my 650J. At 65 I am pushing 5000 and wondered if...
OK, So I am driving down the freeway today. Doing 65 with an RPM of 5000. I know everyone says you can ride in the black all day. But it just...
