So how much ya want for the set. Posting prices would help ya sell stuff......
How much for the tank? Don't need the side covers.
I put mine in a 20 ton shop press and bent it.
Looks great. If you were closer it would be mine.
I rebuilt my brother an 82 650 Maxim a couple of summers ago. He called and said he had it out riding a couple days before Christmas. When he...
I used a pair off of a VStar. Worked great. They are like these, but I didn't get mine from China...
spray some kroil into the key slot and try it again the next day
I know its a different bike, but the nephew and I finished up a Suzuki 650 this summer for him. I has the cam float problem and in Suzuki's it...
I have fixed sidecovers using carbon fiber and superglue. The carbon fiber is in strand form. Kinda like hair. From the backside I would lay...
thought it was a hot tub on the rear at first. Then I asked myself, why would someone do that?
I have 3 of them. Love em. Mine are all lowered and customized. But they are a different ride than my XJ.......
And that will get you put in jail. Your XJ title is associated with the serial number on the XJ neck. changing it invalidates your title...
Greyhound
I made some of these for my brother's bike when we had tuning problems with his open pipes. Worked like a charm and the bike runs awesome now....
Awesome. Did the same thing using the Black Chrome.
Do not use synthetic, it will cause your clutch to slip and ruin the clutch disks. These bikes were not made to tolerate synthetic oils.
Sounds like a short somewhere. Check the grounds and make sure there is no corrosion on any connection anywhere. Then replace the fuse box with...
When I did mine I ground the eyelet of the shock and replaced the bushings with Moog poly bushings. Yes I had to reshape the bushings a bit. No...
no scraping on mine. I hope we're talking about metal removal of the same part of the shock. I removed metal from the lower eyelets to mount them,
Really????? I put sportster shocks on one of mine. I ground the inside edge. Its not a big deal. You don't have to remove that much...
HAve you synched the carbs? Not just a bench synch, but a synch with tha bike running and gauges or manometer hooked up?
I see you're in Utah. Altitude plays into the compression numbers. here are conversion factors for high altitude. For example where I am at I...
You need to put 100 miles or more on it before you get a reliable plug color.
Dont know, but I have used VStar front pegs on an XJ. Use the Vstar pegs with the XJ mounts. Will need to drill out the rivet on the XJ mount to...
Acetone or lacquer thinner will take it off.
My moto, if you have to put fruit in your beer, the beer must be crap to start with. Beer should not need anything added to taste better Oh...
If you dont have Kroil. Mix 50% automatic transmission fluid with 50% acetone. apply and let it soak.
Read this, it will give you an place to start. http://www.thechopperunderground.com/fo ... opic=50017 XJ650, 750 & XS650 use the same...
Or put RTV in the cracks, let it harden, then coat each boot with Spray on Electrical Tape. Way easier.........
I used Purple Power with various brushes to clean all the grime off the motor. Then I wiped it all down with Naptha to remove anything I may have...
Open the air/fuel screws 1/8 turn.
FYI - Those compression numbers are in spec for the 6000 ft in altitude where he lives. For altitude we have to do compression conversion, The...
MEK or Acetone should work. I use Caswell Tank Liner. Ts epoxy and super easy to apply once yo have the old out and the tank clean .
Just use lemon dish detergent. I use 4 oz to a gallon of water. Gets aluminum carbs squeaky clean.
Make sure your choke cable is pulling on the chokes ever so slightly at the carb connection. I did this once and it acted like what you describe.
I get that they aren't available from Yamaha, but someone might know a suitable replacement.
Anyone know where one could buy suitable replacements for needles on the speedo and tach? I have searched most everywhere on line and cant find...
Soda blasting doesn't remove all the grease and oil. Best if you get the oil-ly gunk off it first. Purple Power or Oil Eater and scrub...
Float height is not correct and the carbs need to be synched correctly
Never mind ....
Open the oil filler and stick your nose down there to smell the crankcase oil. If it smells gassy, drain the oil, replace the oil filter. Then...
Acetone removes Kreem.

It all depends on the market where one lives. Around here 2 bikes that need work for $1200 is a decent deal. Back east they might be a dime a dozen
You're in Albuquerque, so adjust the values of the compression for the distance above sea level where you live. Multiply the listed compression...
2 bikes $1200 - yes
Floats in upside down can will result in high idle. Been there done it
How did you get those awesome aluminum pieces into your guages?
The front of the tank really needs to drop. The raised idea is cool, just needs to come down 3 or 4 inches. Make the tunnel even or a tad bit...
I just gotta ask, cause you say you are all geared up and being safe. Why the fook are you racing on the street? You think you are safe and you...
