    Hey all, got a couple questions for things to do with my xj700.
    First off, clutch and brake levers has anyone or does anyone know if any aftermarket adjustable levers would work on these bikes? Mine are loose feeling (they wobble up and down which bothers me personally) and just not my taste to be honest. I am new to bikes and not sure if universal levers would work and if someone has done it what did you use and how was it.

    Mine are a little loose also, probably normal for a 35 year old bike. I thought about inserting a thin plastic washer but haven’t done it yet. You can try eBay, google it, or contact Chacal an see what he has.

    Compare what you have to the parts schematic from Partzilla. My clutch lever felt loose that way; turns out, I was missing an o-ring.
