    Hi there,

    I just bought a 83 xj650. it needs carb work but more important electricAL work.

    your fuse box probably gave out, a common problem on these. check the fuses and plan on replacing the fuse box real soon. then go to all the wiring connectors and un-plug, re-plug them a few times.
    give them a shot of brake cleaner and a dab of dielectric grease. such as http://www.amazon.com/Permatex-22058-Dielectric-Tune-Up-Grease/dp/B000AL8VD2
    you'll be good for a long time

    Hey Polock,

    I noticed you referenced a dielectric grease on amazon... do you have an idea where to get more electrical parts that need replacement? I have a melted 3-white-wires connector on a 1985 xj700x. I was looking on this forum's "parts catalogue" and copied parts numbers, but not sure how to order here. I would like to at least clean the other connections as well, but wouldn't mind changing them either as I currently have no spark.

    Below are some of the parts I was getting ready to buy... Any help is appreciated!

    here's every connector man has ever invented but it would be easier to get them from chacal
    http://www.mouser.com/amphenol/product-line/
    Heat-shrink tubing http://www.goldmine-elec-products.com/
    Di-electric grease you need to find someplace like this http://www.cardello.com/products/
    CROCUS CLOTH if finer than 2000 wet/dry paper, so use 2000 paper and go easy
    Aftermarket electrical CONTACT CLEANER = brake cleaner
    Liquid Electrical Tape home depot
    for chacal, click the add in the top right corner, i'am sure you'll see a e-mail address there
