    hi all , just wondering if anyone has the rear brake pedal pivot for the 750 seca. I also have the two side panels rear panel and rear light if anyone wants them.
    Also for anyone in the uk carb building I have found that the throttle shaft seal is Suzuki Part No. 13651-51010.
    about £1:80 each and widely available. also for a quick tip , the throttle shaft directly connected to the throttle cable wears . This isnt noticable on tick over but when the throttle is opened and has pressure onit , it will let a bit of air in even with new seals . I was taught that a simple small o ring that will sit into the V of the new shaft seal overcomes this and provides a better seal

    Sad to see not many new UK owners, I shall endeavour to make up for that by being a UK owner with an XJ750E-II, think that oughta count as 10 UK owners seeing as nobody else seems to have a real one lol 8O

    You'd be best off in the for sale/wanted area mate, not many people look this far down the page (the Other forum is right down the bottom).

    I've got one but don't plan on parting really as she's a bit of a rarity worldwide let alone in the UK 8O I'm her current custodian & want to get back to original before selling (even got braided lines inside cut up original rubber hoses!!!)

    Any XJ750 is not a common bike over here however so may be that ebay is the place to look

    Hey
    another B.A.B. here, I'm based in Bedfordshire

    I haven't ridden for 12 years but my 50th is coming up fast and I felt the urge to get onto 2 wheels again, got myself an '81 XJ650 off evilbay for 500 quid, several issues to get sorted but 10 months tax & MOT so a rideable restoration during the baking hot summer we're gonna have :twisted:

    I had an XJ550 back in the 80's, loved it, it was my first "big" bike, magical days, I went on to bigger & sportier things but that 550 was special ('til some clown pulled out in front of me at a mini roundabout). The new bike is bringing all those memoriesl back 8)

    Love this site, some great technical stuff that has helped me out already and it's good to see so much enthusiasm for the old Japs

    See ya round, cheers

    HI Andy, Welcome,the British side is quiet,compared to the American side,they make up most of the running on Here.
    I had an New 81 XJ650 in Silver,so when i could no longer resist the urge for a bike, I had to have an XJ.... i couldnt get a 650 so i got a 1992 XJ900 instead.
    Anyhow theres Everything XJ on here, so Enjoy your Bike and Take Care.
