Sweet
Sorry to hear that, Rick. You're a wonderful resource on this forum. Hopefully there will be some development in the medicine front soon.
Does your starter button really have 4 terminals? Sounds weird. There should be two for running power through the engine stop switch, and two for...
I will try to move the actuator back. Thanks for the tip!
Fellow XJers, After having installed new springs and pressure/friction plates, I'm having problems pulling the clutch handle. It seems the...
I like your reasoning :D
But the V-Max?
I've been pondering on this for a LONG time! What the h... does the "X" in "XJ" mean? I mean "J" is obviously because of the engine...
Seconded!
Finally fixed the lighting problem. The aftermarket RH switch I bought, was not wired properly. Now rewired to replicate the original lighting...
Some sort of air leak? Maybe as far down as in between cylinder 2&3?
Wow... I've not updated things in a while, I see. I've been struggling with minor electrical issues for a while, and found that my headlight and...
I see I haven't updated this one. The new switches I got were apparently for an ATV, but they have 4 wire connection for the headlights and so...
Hey! I have a similar problem and you know what they say about more and merrier and whatnot. My headlight is not coming on. According to the...
I'm very inclined to getting this one since the Bolt didn't make it to Europe this year. Cheaper than the XJR 2013, and maybe even more fun :p...
I was going to suggest not enough charge on the battery, but someone already said bad flasher...
Wow... he did a worse job painting that thing I did on mine, hehehehe
Of course it's possible, you just need to wire them up. BUT, you need three-wire blinkers.
I'm guessing somewhere around 60-70 kilos. Depends on what level of disassembly you have done prior. I managed fine to get it up from ground...
Mine is off Mike's XS website. Be careful to pick correct inclination so that the fluid stays stable in the MC. The lines are Goodridge SS, one...
I was thinking about the gaskets setting and perhaps improving compression a bit after first heat cycle. But since the cylinders/pistons are...
Can't seem to find info on this, and I want to ask the experts on their views about any break in procedures after installing a new head gasket....
I believe that may be hammer paint.
If the air intake is stock, the shift in sitting position with legs stretched could cause the seat to obstruct air intake. Especially if the...
I had a very heart-warming chat with a fellow at work, where I told him about changing head gaskets and about the compression problems. Short...
That's a great idea! Thanks for the info. Need to get a stethoscope :lol:
You mean if they're stuck inside the cylinder, or if they're stuck onto the piston? The engine was completely redone last winter. What I...
I put just a tiny amount of oil into the cylinders, equal to a teaspoon. Haven't actually tried running the bike on petrol yet. Thought I'd...
Pretty sure. I used it before I took the bike apart with great success. I'm puzzled by the fact that the compression gets better when I put...
Well... I have some rather disappointing results after checking compression. Cylinder 1 dry, 125 Cylinder 1 oil, 140 Cylinder 2 dry, 82...
Found another weird bit of info looking at Len's ultimate guide for sensors, diodes, relays, and switches. It states that my 11M Euro model...
Yeah... no... no.. yeah... no... Headlamp never worked for some reason. And the flashers were also good before I took the bike apart. I've...
Fouuuuuund the culprit. It was me! I stupidly forgot that the stock MC has a level sensor. Since I've swapped it out for a bar mount mc, I'd...
I did take out the 3-wire switch. I was just commenting that I haven't done any alterations to the harness besides that, in connection with your...
Will do! Mind you, I have not done any alterations to the harness, apart from trying to hook a 3-wire light switch to it. So, if there were a...
Posted the UK diagram as that one seemed to fit the bike best. It's an RK 11m, but the wiring is definitely like the UK version, registered in in...
Thanks! I'm really happy with the paint on this one. Can't say that I'm fixing it for selling as it was my first project. This one's a keeper!
Small update of progress (I think)... Some of you may have seen that I had some trouble with a RH switch. More on that here:...
Looks like the last model is the 2013: http://www.yamaha-motor.eu/uk/products/motorcycles/street/xjr1300.aspx Is a beut, that's for sure!...
I found another RH switch with three lighting positions, the way it is on the XJ. Will try with these once they arrive.
Thanks guys!
I don't have a diagram, but it's this one from Wemoto: http://www.wemoto.com/parts/picture/hl-694605/ I've tested with a voltmeter. When the...
Fellow XJ'ers... I need some input for rewiring the harness to incorporate an aftermarket RH switch on my 750 Seca. It has a kill switch, start...
Wired aftermarket RH controls (from Wemoto) to work with the existing stock wiring. Think it turned out pretty well...
This is just insanely cool. Printing out the Vmax now!
Can't blame you for that, brother. I'd get pretty pissed myself if someone messed with my bike.
Welcome to the forums!
After installing new clutch springs, it seems they're too hard for the clutch lever to handle. I managed to strip the clutch handle and handlebar...
Fitz, that XJR is on my wish list too... Hopefully, there will be a 2014 model this year
