TOOL RENTALS:

Typically, when performing very infrequent or one-time tasks, it is not cost-efficient to purchase all of the special tools you’ll need to perform the task just for your one bike. Don’t get us wrong, though: you do need to use the proper tool(s) for the job to get proper results! It’s just that these special tools can really eat into your maintenance and rebuild budget.

Our TOOL RENTAL PROGRAM allows you to have access to those special tools for an affordable rental rate, thus minimizing your investment and maximizing your results.

Here’s how it works: you “order” the tool(s) that you’ll need and pay the regular retail price (and shipping) for the tool. The tool(s) are then shipped to you just as a regular order, and we’ll note the date that the tools shipped to you. You then use the tools, taking whatever amount of time you need. Then, return the tool(s) to us, prepaid, and we’ll then refund you the full tool price minus your “time rented” fee.

Remember, your “time rented” fee is calculated from the day that we ship the tool until the day that the tool is received back to us from you (not the day that you ship it back). We receive incoming shipments 5 days a week, so if a tool is “returned” to us via the Post Office on a Saturday, it will be the following non-holiday Monday that we “receive” the tool back.

The only other restriction is that tools returned to us broken, damaged, inoperable, modified, or worn out in any way will not be accepted back, and will be returned to you (with additional shipping costs to apply) and no refund or credit issued. Thus we recommend that:

a) you treat rental tools as if you own them, since you will if you don’t treat them in a professional manner!

b) when you ship the tools to us, you insure them at their full value against any loss or damage during shipment. Claims for loss or damage against the carrier is the responsibility of the shipper (that’s you), not the recipient (that’s us). And since the “travel time” both to and from you is counted as “rental time”, we strongly suggest that you opt for the priority mail shipping option, as this will minimize the “travel time” and will typically reduce your overall cost.

c) you will need to provide us with the Package Tracking Service (“delivery confirmation” number) for your return shipment of the tool to us so we may document the return date to us.

Although these rules may seem strict, we hope you can understand the reality of the need to put such restrictions on the long-distance rental and use of these tools.


Please also note that, in the case of some tools ---- due to either their low retail price and/or the cost of return shipping ---- that it may not make sense to rent such tools for any extended period of time…….in other words, such tools only make sense to “rent” if you do so only when you are immediately prepared to use them (within a day or so of receipt of the tool) and have the ability to return the tool(s) to use immediately after you have finished using them. The most practical plan is to rent such tools associated with a specific task that you’ll be doing…..such as a fork rebuild….at the same time you are purchasing your fork rebuild parts. In this manner, the tools will be shipped to you with almost minimal shipping charges (they’ll ride with your other parts that you’ve ordered), so at least some of the cost of the tool rental will be absorbed in your regular parts order.


REVIEW: Tool Rental Terms and Conditions:

- you’ll pay the full price of the tool in advance….just like you were ordering it for “keeps”….and get refunded/credited when it is returned to us.

- the tool must be returned in working order or you have bought the tool! All of our tools are inspected to insure they are in proper operating condition before leaving our shop.

- the tool rental rate starts as of the day that we ship the tool to you, and ends on the day that we receive the tool back. Yes, this does mean that you are paying the rental rate while the tool is in transit. This is why small-dollar-value tools may not be a good idea to rent……..it may be more cost-effective for you to simply purchase the tool.


EXAMPLE:

You will be ordering and converting your bike from the stock oil filter system to our spin-on filter conversion system. You order the spin-on kit along with the tools needed to do the job:

HCP10299 Aftermarket deep-drive 30mm SOCKET, 1/2-drive thin-wall style that will work properly with the HCP1284 spin-on oil filter adapter kit that we offer. Because of the very close tolerances between the outside faces of the nut and the adapter plate recess, you'll need a very thin-wall socket to tighten this nut with. Chrome-plated, 12-point, 1-/2" drive.
Purchase Price: $ 39.95
Rental Rate: $ 1.25 per day

HCP22025 Aftermarket standard depth 32mm SOCKET, used to remove the special oil filter union bolt used on all XJ550 models, and on all factory-equipped oil-cooler systems used on 1984-85 FJ600, XJ650 Turbo, and XJ900 models. Chrome-plated, 6-point, 1/2" drive.

For use with the HCP10298, HCP10299, HCP10530, HCP11336, HCP22025, or the HCP22947 sockets, and the 10mm and 12mm HCP10302 stud extractors included in the HCP10301 tool kit. Most people have the standard 3/8" drive ratchet wrenches in their tool kits already, and the larger 1/2" drive sockets can be used with those ratchets with this converter/adapter. Chrome-plated, 1/2" male drive, 3/8" female receiver.
Purchase Price:$ 12.95
Rental Rate: $ 0.25 per day when any of the 1/2” drive sockets above are also rented.


Your parts ship on the 11th, you receive them on the 14th, you do the install on the 16th, and get the rental tools into the mail back to us on the 17th. The rental tools are received by us on the 20th.

Thus you have 9 days (the 11th thru the 20th) worth of tool rental on each item.


When you initially rented the tools, you paid us:

HCP10299 Socket $ 39.95
HCP22025 Socket $ 16.95
HCP10300 Socket $ 12.95

Total: $ 69.85


We received the returned the tools 9 days after you received them:

HCP10299 Socket 9 days x $ 1.25 per day = $ 11.25 rental fee
HCP22025 Socket 9 days x $ 0.75 per day = $ 6.75 rental fee
HCP10300 Socket 9 days x $ 0.25 per day = $ 2.25 rental fee

Total rental fees: $ 20.25


You will be credited/refunded:

$ 69.85 initial price minus $ 20.25 rental fee =
$ 49.60 credited or refunded

HCP28194 Aftermarket carb body THREAD CHASER BASIC TAPS SET. This basic set of 6 taps contains all of the different sizes for the most commonly needed threaded holes on all Hitachi and Mikuni carb bodies. Almost all threaded will exhibit some type of thread wear (distortion) or minor injury that should be repaired, especially to the smaller, more “fragile” threads on the mixture screw bores, the fuel and are jets threads, the bowl, hat, and bracket mounting holes, etc. Running thread taps thru all of these threaded holes in the carb bodies will not only make the re-assembly process easier, smoother, and more secure, but there is a certain satisfaction and surety that comes with having like-new threads that can only be described as “machinist porn” (those of you that know, will know what I mean!). Correct size taps will do the upper and lower rack bracket holes, the float bowl attachment holes, the float bowl drain screw holes, the carb hat attachment holes, synch screws and idle speed bolt holes, the Mikuni float valve seat bracket hole, Mikuni main jet needle retainer plate holes (inside the vacuum piston), all air jet and fuel jet holes, enrichment plunger lifter bracket holes, and throttle shaft butterfly valve mounting holes. Comes with a can of cutting fluid and a t-handle tap holder tool. Note that unlike the complete taps set below (HCP28121), the taps for the Hitachi float valve seat and the choke plunger seat bores (on all Hitachi and Mikuni models) are not included in this set (those larger taps are what add significantly to the cost of the complete taps set). NOTE: due to the reality that you may use these tools only once, it is suggested that you use the tool rental option for this tap set. However, under the rental option, if you use the taps for actual thread tapping (cutting brand new threads in a newly drilled hole), then the return option is not allowed!

Engine, Clutch, Transmission, and Drivetrain System Tools:

HCP28415 Aftermarket engine OIL PRESSURE MEASURING KIT contains everything you’ll need to take periodic measurements of the engine oil pressure………something that Yamaha never provided a means to do, for some unknown reason(s). Periodically measuring the oil pressure in the your engine can provide clues as to the health of various engine components (not just the oil pump condition, but more importantly, bearing clearances….as excessive bearing clearances will “leak” pressurized oil and reduce oil pressure, thus leading to all sorts of problems). Thus keeping track of oil pressures over time is an important “maintenance” procedure, akin to checking cylinder compression pressure periodically.

This kit contain a specially made main oil gallery plug and a liquid-filled mini oil pressure gauge. The gallery plug replaces either the left or right side factory gallery plug ----- the one with a 10mm allen-key drive directly below the round crankshaft engine covers (actually called “oil pump covers" by Yamaha, for some odd reason……). Once installed, you can run the engine and check pressure (we recommend checking pressures both cold and hot, and recording the readings). Although you can leave the gauge installed permanently, we do not recommend this, as it does stick out past the pump cover and you risk damage of epic proportions if anything were to disturb it…….

Comes with block-off plug, so that the gauge can be removed while leaving the gallery plug in place; the block-off plug replaces the gauge and creates a leak-proof solution, and leaves the gallery plug in place, ready to re-use (re-installation of the gauge) whenever is necessary.

Fits all XJ650 - XJ900 engines. And although Yamaha does not specify oil pressures for their engines, they do note that the oil pump relief valve is set to open at 64-78 psi, so you can use that as a guide. Each:

HCP29188 Aftermarket THREAD REAMER - TAP cuts oversized threads for the oil pan drain plug port, allowing you to repair a partially stripped port which can no longer accept the torque needed to prevent leaks. This tap can be driven by either a 16mm wrench or socket or a 4mm hex (allen-key) wrench, and does not require that the hole be drilled out prior to use. The tap will properly clean up the remains of the original threads and cuts a new, larger thread at the same time, allowing you to use the oversized drain bolt (HCP29189) listed below. A simple way to salvage a common problem. Tap and oversized bolt will fit drain pans on all XJ550, FJ600, XJ600 Seca II, FZ600, YX600 Radian,XJ700, XJ750, XJ900, XJ1100, and XS1100 models. NOTE: although this tap can be used while the oil pan is still installed on the engine, it is highly recommended that the oil pan removed from the engine before use (to insure alignment, and to be able to flush out any thread chips or swarf created during the re-threading procedure. NOTE: if your drain port is cracked, badly chipped, or missing significant amount of material, this oversized tap may not be able to provide a suitable solution, and another solution (either welding to “rebuild” the hole dimension” or pan replacement will be necessary).

HCP10301 Aftermarket complete STUD EXTRACTOR TOOLS SET. Complete set of 4 different size extractors, and these can be used with ratchet wrenches for ease of removal. These are “roller clutch” type removers that use internally locking rollers to grip and turn the stud. This type tool will damage the threads as part of the removal process, and although it’s possible to use them on broken threads (the smooth shank portion of the stud, even if that is all that is present i.e. the stud or bolt has snapped off and all that remains is the unthreaded portion), they don’t always work all that well on smooth surfaces…..but this also means that the can also be used on dowel pins and some guide collars. Note that these stud removers are much larger is physical size that the HCP26979 tools, which may present problems in restricted areas: www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE5VnScjRcI This set has the proper sized tools to remove exhaust manifold studs, broken intake manifold bolts, cylinder head and cylinder jug studs, the long cylinder head-to-crankcase studs (all models except XJ700-X and XJ750-X engines), and most other threaded studs (or headless bolts) on the engine and drivetrain.

dd2) Aftermarket camshaft CHAIN BREAKER AND RIVETER TOOLS, needed to properly break or rivet a master link onto original or replacement cam chains.

NOTE: most replacement cam chains are sold as an "endless chain", meaning it comes riveted together. In a situation where you have the engine all apart, it can be used as is, because you'll have side access to the gear on the crank. If you will be installing a new chain into an assembled engine, then you will have to break one of the links in order to "drop and drape" the chain over the crank gear.......and thus will also need a new master link in order to put the chain back together again. Almost all OEM chains are” joined” chains (they originally use a removable, rivet-style master link), and when replacing he master link the new link will need to be peened in place (rivet-style master links cannot be re-used).

Here are some good instructions on how to properly peen a rivet-style master link:

HCP26915 Aftermarket camshaft and drive chains CHAIN BREAKER AND RIVETER TOOL SET. A decent quality toolkit for occasional (home) use, it contains a complete set of 3 different size drive tips, a hollow-nose pin rivet tip, chain side plate press tool, alignment bolt and push bolt, handles, and special guide pin adapters, all contained within a durable plastic case. This kit can break cam, oil pump, and drive chains up to the # 630 size, press master link plates on chains up to # 530, and rivet hollow-nosed master link pins on chains up to # 630. It will not perform solid-nosed riveting. NOTE: most chain-drive XJ bikes of this era used size #520 or #530 drive chains (depending on model).

HCP10181 Aftermarket VALVE SPRING COMPRESSOR TOOL SET, comes with 5 different size adapters to allow use on all XJ-series engines, including the Maxim-X type multi-valve engines. NOTE: although this screw-type compressor tool comes with five different-sized retainer disc "adapters", you may find that none of the specific adapter sizes fits your valve spring retainers "perfectly". However, you merely need to select the size adapter that most closely fits the retainer size on your engine (never bigger, always smaller than the O.D. of the retainer disc) and use that adapter carefully (so it does not "slip" or "walk off" the edge of the retainer disc as you are applying pressure, as you DO NOT under any circumstances want it to "walk-over" the edge of the retainer and then scar the lifter bucket bore!).

Although the OEM sized adapters fit the retainer discs "perfectly" (and therefore do not pose this "walking and potential scarring of the lifter bucket bore" threat), the huge difference in price between the OEM tools listed above and this complete, high-quality compressor tool set makes it worthy of purchasing, as long as you are careful in its use. Our experience shows that the 30mm adapter will fit the retainer discs very well (or exactly on some models) on the 550-1100 engines (except the 700-X and 750-X water-cooled models). The "X" motors will use the 19mm adapter; but it will not fit the retainer perfectly, but is the closest practical size. Comes in a handy plastic storage case.

Those dowel pins or collars are everywhere on these engines: cylinder heard-to-jugs, jugs-to-upper crankcase, side covers-to-crankcase, crankcase lower-to-upper section, and I’m probably forgetting a few.

Rubber Work Gloves:

NOTE: latex is a natural rubber product, and skin irritation or even allergic reactions can occur with their use (about 10-15% of all people have allergies or develop allergies to natural rubber, such as skin rashes, itching, etc.). Cuts in your skin your increase your risk of allergic reaction. Some people are also sensitive to the powder used in the powdered style gloves, rather than to the latex itself. And some unlucky souls are sensitive or allergic to both. Sensitivity or allergic reactions can be either almost immediate (within 30 minutes of exposure) or delayed (up to 48 hours later).

Many carb or paint solvents and some petroleum oils will degrade latex back into its gooey, sticky original state!

So we offer a choice of LATEX GLOVES or non-allergenic NITRILE GLOVES, in ultra-thin (for work that requires the maximum in sensitivity), standard thickness, or ultra-thick versions that are chemical and solvent-resistant. Gloves come in either a standard-length (to the wrist) or extended-cuff versions that go over the wrist and up the forearm a bit, offering the ultimate in protection.

Fabric Work Gloves:

The following FABRIC WORK GLOVES feature a very thin and flexible heat-resistant material in the palm and the fingers and a generous wrist cuff to both prevent bunching and for added burn protection. A high-friction material is added along the thumb and forefinger extensions which allows for greater control and manipulation of the objects being held or worked on.

Work Gloves are sized according to the following formula. Make sure you measure around the top of your knuckles or you'll be doing the "if the glove don't fit, you must acquit" thing, because they'll be too tight!:

Measurement of 7 - 8" uses a SMALL glove.
Measurement of 8 - 9" uses a MEDIUM glove.
Measurement of 9 - 11" uses a LARGE glove.
Measurement of 11 - 13" uses an EXTRA LARGE glove.

Gloves are all-black except for brightly colored racing stripes across the back of the glove, the thumb, and the two outer fingers tubes.

All WORK GLOVES are $ 24.95 per pair.

HAND TOOLS:

As you'll quickly learn when you are doing a majority of your own mechanical work, the right tools, in the right size, shape, and style needed for the job are a necessity for avoiding the waste of time, effort, and errors.

And you'll also quickly learn what every experienced wrencher knows, holds dear, and has probably learned the hard way-----that quality tools ain't cheap, and, over time, they pay for themselves many times over, and in a variety of different ways. They will perform better, last longer, not damage items or be destroyed in use, and-----as long as you don't lend them to your friends or neighbors!-----will always be there for you, on your side and until the bitter end when an obnoxious screw or seized-tight bolt would shame and lay to waste a lesser tool.....

And, perhaps most important of all, you take better care of quality tools, and take pride in using them correctly, and sometimes that fact alone makes the difference between a task being successfully completed, or going back to square one and starting over.



JIS Screwdrivers:

mt1) Almost every screw on these bikes are "JIS" design screws, JIS standing for Japanese Industrial Standards, and both the depth and design on the phillips-head "slot" is different than typical US slots. In a nutshell, JIS screws (which can be easily identified by the small punched single "dot" on the screw head, in-between two of the screw slots) have both deeper and "squarer" slots and thus can hold more torque than their rest-of-the-world counterparts. They also require a JIS screwdriver to take full advantage of, and to prevent rounding out the slots as typical phillips screwdrivers will do. The more "rounded" edges of a standard phillips-drive screwdriver cannot exert as much torque on the screw head (by design, actually) and will "cam-out" of the slots, taking some of the slot material with it.....and then you have what is affectionately known as a !!#&$!?**#! stripped out screw head!

So it might be a good idea to also invest in a set of quality JIS screwdrivers; trust me, they make a difference (and yes, they can be used on standard phillips-drive screws, too).

We offer these tools in three different quality grades and styles to meet your particular needs:

* Standard-Grade screwdrivers are a low-cost alternative that do a fine job in light-duty use.
* Mechanics-grade screwdrivers are a heavy-duty design and is recommended for the typical home mechanic or shop.
* Impact-grade screwdrivers feature a hardened “head” and an internal cam-drive that rotates the shaft about 12-degrees when struck by a hammer -----similar to the operation of an impact driver, but in a much more useful form. These drivers look, feel, and operate just like a mechanic-grade screwdriver above, but can also be given a sturdy “whack!” to help persuade frozen fasteners to give up their grip. Highly recommended when working on the carbs (the upper and lower rack bracket screws are a beast to remove without an impact driver ) or in any number of other situations when working on seized or rusted fasteners.

Hex-Key Wrench Sets:

hks2) These bikes are chock full of various sizes allen-drive or HEX KEY fasteners from front to back........so, you're going to need some quality hex wrenches to deal with all of them eventually. And believe us......the last thing you ever want to do is "round out" the head of a hex-key fastener, or, even worse, snap off the hardened steel shaft of the tool inside the fastener head.

All of the following metric allen-head ("hex key") sets come with their own plastic storage caddy.


HCP11340 Aftermarket long-arm STANDARD HEX KEY SET, black heat-treated alloy steel tools contains the following 9 most common sizes: 1.5mm, 2mm, 2.5mm, 3mm, 4mm, 5mm, 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm.

Torque Wrenches:

hks12) Yep, a TORQUE WRENCH sure can be a pain to use, especially in tight, cramped spaces, and so their use is one the easiest ways to tell a professional mechanic from a wanna-be. The proper torque values for a fastener were not determined by whim-and-fancy, but by engineering principles and mechanical fastener requirements. All it takes is one fastener snapping or stripping out of a threaded aluminum case, and you'll find that the cost and use of an accurate torque wrench is "cheap" compared to the cost of solving the problem!

HCP9972 Aftermarket precision CLICKER TORQUE WRENCH, 3/8" drive head, 20-200 inch-pounds (1.5 to 16 foot pounds), ratchet head and handle made of hardened steel for accuracy and durability. Scale is marked in both metric and SAE torque values for convenience. Comes in a plastic storage case. A good quality, affordable torque wrench for small fastener, low-torque applications. NOTE: please resist the temptation to "cheat" on low-value torque fasteners by using a high-value torque wrench (like the HCP9973 below) to set such fasteners. Torque wrenches, by their design, are only accurate within a certain range of torque values, and totally inaccurate above and below their designated range of values.
$ 89.95

HCP9973 Aftermarket precision CLICKER TORQUE WRENCH, 3/8" drive head, 10-100 foot-pounds with +/- 3 accuracy, ratchet head and handle made of hardened steel for accuracy and durability. Scale is marked in both metric and SAE torque values for convenience. Comes in a plastic storage case. A good quality, affordable torque wrench for small fastener, low-torque applications. NOTE: please resist the temptation to "cheat" on low-value torque fasteners by using a high-value torque wrench (like this one) to set such fasteners. Torque wrenches, by their design, are only accurate within a certain range of torque values, and totally inaccurate above and below their designated range of values.

Combination Box-End and Closed-End Wrench Sets:

hks13) A good quality set of COMBINATION WRENCHES is vital to working properly on your bike.......the one-size-fits-all vise grips are okay in an emergency but not as your one-and-only "wrench"! And neither does 2 sizes of pliers and a big hammer.............so do yourself a favor, and invest in the proper tools needed to do a proper job.

These professional-grade "combination" wrenches have one end "boxed" (closed) and the other end open, giving you the flexibility to take on and conquer any metric fastener you come across.

The standard wrenches feature a raised central panel, and are made from drop-forged, chrome-plated alloy steel, feature 12-point heads, a zero-degree head offset, and include a canvas storage pouch.

The latest-and-greatest ratcheting gear wrenches combine the flexibility of a flat wrench with the features of a ratchet drive (like with a socket set), and also feature a raised central panel, are made from drop-forged, chrome-plated alloy steel, use the 12-point heads, a zero-degree head offset, and come in a plastic storage tray.



HCP15143 Aftermarket combination open-end/box-end STANDARD COMBINATION WRENCH SET, includes 14 wrenches in the most common sizes you'll need: 6mm thru 19mm sizes in 1mm increments, 12-point box heads, chrome finish, zero-degree offset heads, all in a neat canvas storage pouch.

Socket and Ratchet Sets:

hks14) A good quality SOCKETS AND RATCHET WRENCH SET is also vital to working properly on your bike....and much more convenient, at times, than box- or open-end wrenches. These sockets and ratchet wrench sets
feature a heavy-duty design, capable of being used as standard hand sockets or in impact wrenches or guns.

HCP10530 Aftermarket standard-depth 30mm SOCKET, 1/2"-drive thick-wall impact socket necessary to remove or install the HCP3204 clutch hub nut. Black, 6-point, 1-/2" drive.
$ 21.95



HCP22947 Aftermarket standard-depth 30mm SOCKET, 1/2-drive thin-wall style that will work properly with the HCP1284 spin-on oil filter adapter kit that we offer. Because of the very close tolerances between the outside faces of the nut and the adapter plate recess, you'll need a very thin-wall socket to tighten this nut with. Chrome-plated, 12-point, 1-/2" drive. NOTE: this is a standard depth (rather than deep depth) socket, and thus it may not work on some models. Yamaha drilled the threaded depth of the oil passage hole (in the engine case, where the threaded stud in our conversion kit will thread into) different lengths on different engines. Since the stud used with our kits must be fully threaded (i.e. “bottomed”) into this threaded hole to work properly, that in turn will leave exposed, on the filter side of the plate, a different length of threads on which to install the retaining nut….depending entirely upon how deep the threads are that Yamaha drilled into the crankcase. And since this socket is used to tighten the retaining nut onto the protruding threads of the stud that sticks up from the adapter plate, there may be engines that have the passage hole drilled shallow, thus resulting in more exposed stud threads protruding from the adapter plate………enough extra threads (4-5) that will not allow this standard-depth socket to fully fit over (and thus “fully reach” and tighten the retaining nut all the way down as required). Our experience shows that about 80% of engines have their passage hole drilled deeply enough to allow the use of this standard depth socket to fully tighten the retaining nut without bottoming out. For the other 20% of engines ---- you’ll need to use one of the deep-drive sockets listed below. Unfortunately, we have no way of telling whether your particular engine has the deeply threaded hole (and thus allows the use of this socket) or not……it appears to be a random thing. NOTE: 22mm is the minimum depth of the threaded portionhole that is necessary the for the stud to be “short” enough (after it exits the adapter plate) to be able to use the HCP22947 socket to tighten the nut that retains the adapter plate to the engine case. This 22mm measurement is the total length as measured from the flat, machined face of the crankcase (where the large o-ring will fit against) down into the threaded portion of the hole………meaning, you will need to put a straightedge of some type across this machined face, and then measure from it down to the bottom of the threads in the hole (note that the hole is not threaded all the way to its bottom!).

In order to understand this a little better, look at the image on the top of page 7:
http://www.xj4ever.com/spinon kit v2.1.pdf

The large flat machined “circle” is where the large sealing o-ring (bottom of page 7) is going to sit; the measurement that you’ll need is from the top of that machined area (hence the need for a straightedge placed across it, so you have a measuring point to go from when measuring down into the threaded hole that the mounting stud will be screwed into).

At the bottom of page 8 is how the adapter plate and stud is going to look after initial installation; the determining factor as to whether the “short” socket will work is how deep the threaded stud is going to be able to be threaded into that hole before it bottoms out…………the middle picture on page 8 is an image from an engine with a “shallow” hole (so the stud protrudes much further out, and thus this shorty socket won’t reach down to the nut), while the bottom picture is from one with a deep hole (and therefore not much of the stud protrudes)…..you can see how much more length of the threaded stud protrudes from the filter plate in the middle picture than in the lower picture……….and how far the stud protrudes determines whether a short socket can fit over the protruding length of the stud (to be able to reach and tighten the hex nut).

Thread Taps and Dies:

c19) Aftermarket THREAD CHASER AND CLEAN-UP TAPS. The aluminum bodies of the carbs and engine cases can take a severe beating over the years, especially as it concerns their threaded holes. Steel is harder than aluminum, so you know what's going to distort, deform, or strip first…...the threaded bore holes. The following professional quality tool-steel metric cutting taps will allow you to either "clean-up" or re-thread distorted or stripped threads in all metals, soft (aluminum) to hard (steel).


HCP28122 Aftermarket engine components THREAD CHASER TAPS SET. This complete set of 3 taps contains all of the different sizes of threads found on all XJ550, FJ600, FZ600, YX600, and XJ600 engines. Almost all threaded have will exhibit some type of thread wear (distortion) or minor injury that should be repaired. Running thread taps thru all of the threaded holes in the will not only make the re-assembly process easier, smoother, and more secure, but there is a certain satisfaction and surety that comes with having like-new threads that can only be described as “machinist porn” (those of you that know, will know what I mean!). Correct size taps will do the engine case cover holes, valvecover bolt holes, cam bearing caps holes, tach drive housing holes in head, cam chain tensioner holes in jugs, exhaust port stud holes in head, intake manifold holes in head, cam chain tunnel stud holes, crankcase cinching bolt holes, cylinder head stud holes (in upper crankcase), spark plug holes in the head, and many others, Comes with a can of cutting fluid and a t-handle tap holder tool.

$ 17.95



NOTE: always use a proper thread-cutting oil or lubricant before using thread taps! Thin motor oils work fine when merely doing a "clean-up" thread chase; a real cutting fluid should be obtained if a threaded bore needs to be truly cut:

c9a) THREAD CHASER DIES. Unlike the thread taps listed above, these thread DIES are used to clean, restore, and repair threads on the threaded fasteners (screws, bolts, studs, etc.). These tools help restore that like-new feel to used bolts, and straighten and restore threads to allow for proper torque settings to be achieved and maintained. Unlike standard round dies, these dies feature cutting teeth within a standard “hex-nut” shape, so you can use a wrench or socket to hold the die and turn it over the fastener. Just like cleaning / chasing threaded holes with a tap, this task is easy to use, important to do, and when you’re done you’ll be glad you took the time to do the job properly! NOTE: these dies are not used to cut new threads (you need to use a “real” die for that purpose), and only to renew threads on non-hardened fasteners! Always lubricate the tool (or fastener) with a light oil or grease when using.


HCP28566 Aftermarket THREAD CHASER DIE, for m3 x 0.50 pitch fasteners. Use on the fasteners for all of the applications listed below (and any other that is the same size; although nor a common size fastener--- it’s tiny! --- there are more applications than what is listed below). Each:

HCP29361 Aftermarket THREAD CHASER DIE, proper size (m6 x 0.50 pitch) for all Mikuni and the ultra-fine threaded Hitachi pilot circuit mixture screws. This is a very handy tool to have in your kit. You’ll need to use the HCP29363 holder to secure the die, or use a set of large pliers or channel locks to hold this round die…..and as you might expect, holding the die with the proper tool holder is the much preferred method. Using both a thread tap (HCP2398) and this die will allow you to clean up both elements of a fastener system for a like-new pattern of thread engagement and performance….this is how professional rebuilders do it! NOTE due to the extremely fine-threads on these screws, it can be quite difficult to get the re-threading process started correctly, and you can easily “cross-thread” the screw if the start of thread engagement is “forced”. Each:
$ 13.95

Use both a thread tap (HCP6335) and this die will allow you to clean up both elements of a fastener system for a like-new pattern of thread engagement and performance….this is how professional rebuilders do it! Each:
$ 13.95

HCP29363 Aftermarket threading die TOOL HOLDER, captures and securely holds round die HCP29360 or HCP29361 above.

HCP27430 Aftermarket engine DOWEL PIN PULLER tool kit………what a great little tool to have on hand. Those dowel pins or collars are everywhere on these engines: cylinder heard-to-jugs, jugs-to-upper crankcase, side covers-to-crankcase, crankcase lower-to-upper section, and I’m probably forgetting a few. After time and moisture do their trick, those pins can get stuck….really stuck. And though vise grips (and penetrating oil, and heat, and a bigger hammer…) might work on some of them, these tools make for a quick, easy, and safe extraction. Special split collects fit snugly down over the protruding section of the pin, and with the torque bar or a slide hammer attachment tool, you’ll easily twist or yank them right out! Includes 5 different size collects, which are the correct size to attack almost every pin or collar on these engines. Each;

it33) Aftermarket handheld EZ-OUTS AND LEFT-HAND DRILL BITS. Perhaps one of the most important tools you can own when working with older vehicles, as you will eventually shear off the head of a screw or bolt and will have to "drill it out". EZ-Outs, of course, are hardened steel spiral extractors that dig into a drilled hole through the center of a fastener for removal, while left-hand (reverse-flute) drill bits "bite" in the opposite direction from a standard drill bit, therefore applying a counter-clockwise (loosening) force to a fastener. These tools can save you a lot of frustration when "the inevitable" happens to you!

HCP9967 Aftermarket EZ-OUT & LEFT-HAND DRILL BITS SET, contains 5 different sizes of extractors (sizes #1 - 5) and 5 different sizes of high-speed, cobalt-coated steel left-hand drill bits (5/64, 7/64, 5/32, 1/4, and 19/64" sizes). Metal storage case included.
$ 57.95

HCP28170 Aftermarket thread tap or EZ-out extractor TAP HANDLE, featuring offset tap handles and fully adjustable head for all m3-m12 size taps and size 0 to ½” extractors. This is the proper way to hold a tap or extractor to insure that the force is directed straight down and doesn’t “wobble” as you are cutting, reaming, or extracting. Much better than using pliers or vise-grips to hold the tool……..

Replacement EZ-Outs and LH Drill Bits:

it54) Aftermarket broken stud EXTRACTOR TOOL KIT. Common problem: you snap or shear off the head of a fastener, now what do you do? This happens quite a bit on your exhaust manifold studs and also with the intake manifold bolts. As long as you have a bit of the broken stud remaining outside of the cylinder head threaded hole (in other words, the fastener has not broken off "flush"), then a stud extractor tool is what's going to save your day. Similar in concept to a "ez-out", but these tools have their "biting" surfaces on the inside of a socket-type housing, so that the hardened steel ridges bite into the stud and allow you to extract it. Also works great on screw or bolt heads that have had the drive slot ruined or the bolt head rounded off.



HCP10302 Aftermarket 6mm BROKEN STUD EXTRACTOR......this is the correct size for both the exhaust headpipe studs and the intake manifold bolts in the cylinder head, which are the most common fasteners that you'll need to use these extractor tools on. You simply pound this extractor onto the stud, and then use an open-end wrench to twist it out. As long as you have a bit of the broken stud remaining outside of the cylinder head threaded hole (in other words, the fastener has not broken off "flush"), then this tool is what's going to save your day. Similar in concept to a "ez-out", but these tools have their "biting" surfaces on the inside of a socket-type housing, so that the hardened steel ridges bite into the stud and allow you to extract it.

HCP26979 Aftermarket complete STUD EXTRACTOR and INSTALLATION TOOLS SET. Complete set of 3 different size tools, these are an upgraded version of the “two locking nuts” method of stud extraction or installation, and their small size allows them to work easily in cramped spaces. Note that this type of tool requires that you have decent threads on the end of the stud:

This set has the proper sized tools to install and remove exhaust manifold studs, cylinder head and cylinder jug studs, the long cylinder head-to-crankcase studs (all models except XJ700-X and XJ750-X engines), broken intake manifold bolts and many other threaded studs (or headless bolts) on the engine and drivetrain. Contains one each M6 x 1.00 pitch, M8 x 1.25 pitch, and a M10 x 1.25 pitch tool.
$ 39.95


HCP10301 Aftermarket complete STUD EXTRACTOR TOOLS SET. Complete set of 4 different size extractors, and these can be used with ratchet wrenches for ease of removal. These are “roller clutch” type removers that use internally locking rollers to grip and turn the stud. This type tool will damage the threads as part of the removal process, and although it’s possible to use them on broken threads (the smooth shank portion of the stud, even if that is all that is present i.e. the stud or bolt has snapped off and all that remains is the unthreaded portion), they don’t always work all that well on smooth surfaces…..but this also means that the can also be used on dowel pins and some guide collars. Note that these stud removers are much larger is physical size that the HCP26979 tools, which may present problems in restricted areas:

This set has the proper sized tools to remove exhaust manifold studs, broken intake manifold bolts, cylinder head and cylinder jug studs, the long cylinder head-to-crankcase studs (all models except XJ700-X and XJ750-X engines), and most other threaded studs (or headless bolts) on the engine and drivetrain. Contains one each of a 6mm and 8mm extractors (which can be used with 3/8" drive ratchets) and one each of a 10mm and 12mm extractors (which can be used with 1/2" drive ratchets). You simply pound the extractor onto the stud, and then use an appropriate sized ratchet wrench to twist it out. Comes in a molded storage case.

Picks, Pullers, and Punches:

js44) Aftermarket dual-tip SEAL PULLER. Our large HCP9801 style puller features curved dual tips on a rounded head allows you to "lever out" large, thick rubber seals safely and properly, while the smaller HCP9961 puller works better with smaller seals (such as on your shifter side cover). These tools are a much better solution than trying to use a screwdriver to pry out seals as they eliminate the risk of scratching or damaging the seal land.

NOTE: in some situations, you can use the following technique to remove larger oil seals that would otherwise require case-splitting to remove. All large oil seals have a metal inner structure that you can (very carefully!) drill into and then pry out:

it32) Aftermarket handheld CENTER PUNCH is useful for making punch points when starting drill bits, etc. These small (5" long, 1/2" diameter knurled body) punches have a hardened alloy steel punch tip, and does not require the use of a striking hammer.

NOTE: the float pin on Mikuni carbs is held in via a friction fit on one end of the pin, and it is not uncommon for these pins to become seized in the posts.........however, one end of the pin is not (from the factory) "mushroomed"................if yours are, it's probably because someone was pounding at it with a punch trying to get it loose, and weren't able to. Any amount of "swollen" or mushrooming of the end of the pin should be gently removed with a file or similar tool, before pin extraction is attempted.

But even in the best of cases, because of the "friction-fit" design of these pins, removing them can be a tricky process. We then recommend you try this trick:

and use a proper sized center-punch (like our HCP17638) to gently punch out the pin. Some good info and images can be found here:

GENERAL PURPOSE TOOLS:

The “Zestfully Clean” Section:


Cleaning and Polishing Tools and Supplies:

ft2) Aftermarket twisted-stem WIRE-BRISTLE CLEANING BRUSHES. The greatest tool ever invented for cleaning bored and threaded holes, such as in carb bodies, float bowls, even master cylinder piston bores. Available in either 18-8 stainless steel or brass, these brushes not only help make the job of cleaning parts so much easier, but also insure that threaded passages are clean, clean, clean and less likely to strip or deform when fasteners are inserted once again. All brushes have a "finger-loop" in the end to make twisting action easier. Stainless brushes will last longer and can clean more aggressively, so be gentle when using them on aluminum carb bodies and bowls. Brass brushes are gentle on soft metals like carb bodies, but require more effort to produce a cleaner surface and wear out more quickly.

ft6) Aftermarket plastic-handled CLEANING TOOTHBRUSHES are great for general cleaning and grunge removal, very handy to keep a few of these around. The garden-variety standard "headless" brushes are just like regular toothbrushes, while the deluxe "headed" style brushes feature additional rows of 135-degree angled brushes at the head (or "snout") of the brush, making it possible to reach into restricted areas and "scrub" smaller areas that the main body of the brush won't or can't reach.

These "headed" brushes are a great time saver and one of the most useful tools that we own......we start to get all panicky and break out in cold chills whenever we start running low on them! And once you try them, we'll wager you'll never go back to the standard style, either..............perfect for cleaning into all the nooks and crannies of carb bodies and bowls, brake calipers, inside oil pans, etc.

cps2) Aftermarket high-quality WET-OR-DRY FINISHING SHEETS. Since these don't contain "sand", we really can't call them "sandpaper", but you get the idea. A large assortment of ultra-fine finishing paper is just the trick to polish the vacuum pistons and piston bores in your carbs, or master cylinder and brake caliper bores, ridding them of any surface oxidation and minor imperfections that will create interference or friction and prevent the pistons from moving freely---causing all sorts of high-idle (and other problems) in your carbs, or dragging brakes in your calipers. Our recommendation is to start with the 400- or 600-grit paper and move up 200 grit at a time until you get the bores micro-polished to an incredible smooth finish. One 9.5" x 11" sheet of each size will be enough to do four carbs or one pair of calipers; use two sheets of the 5-1/2" x 11" super-fine grit paper.

Of course, this premium finishing paper is just the thing you'll need for prepping any painted surface for painting.

THE TOOLBOX, CHEMICAL SHELF:


BETTER LIVING THROUGH CHEMICALS:

Anti-Seize Lubricants:

xx1) Fastener ANTI-SEIZE PASTE. Yeah, it's smelly and makes a silvery mess on your fingers, but this stuff is a life-saver for any true wrencher, because it prevents problems down the road. Use it on any metal fastener that does not require a "loctite" thread-locker material to be used. This means on just about every fastener that is carb, engine case, or suspension-related! (except for carb upper and lower rack-mount screws and butterfly valve screws, which do require the use of a thread-lock fluid). If you think that it might, sometime, in the future, need to come off: use anti-seize compound! NOTE: the "base" metal material used in the different anti-seize pastes below do not determine what type of fastener to use such pastes on; it merely signifies what base material is used to create the anti-seize paste. You can use any "based" anti-seize paste on any type of fastener and metal.

NOTE: the use of anti-seize compounds will result in a TORQUE-MULTIPLYING EFFECT……..the result of a reduction in friction between the threaded contact points……and thus fasteners treated with anti-seize compound should have their torque values reduced by at least 10-15% when installed into steel material, and up to 25% into aluminum materials or other “soft” metals” (such as spark plugs into cylinder heads, or almost any other type of fastener into the engine) …… note that this rule applies only to service manual torque specifications on fasteners that are not indicated to be treated with anti-seize fluid by the factory …. if the factory manual specifies the use of an anti-seize coating, then the specified torque value for that fitting already takes into account the “reduced torque” necessary.

$ 11.95



Greases:

b4) Aftermarket pure SILICONE GREASE----this is the proper product to use when installing any rubber-based o-ring or seal or paper gasket. Silicone doesn't affect rubber, provides good seal lubrication, can also be used as a "glue" to hold gaskets and seals in place during installation, and to aid in the re-assembly of components.

HCP28407 Aftermarket o-ring, oil seal, and gasket installation pure SILICONE GREASE. This small 5-gram (1/6-oz) snap-open "pillow packet" is enough for a few small oil seals, dozens of o-rings, and the like. Each:
$ 4.95

HCP1714 Aftermarket o-ring, oil seal, and gasket installation pure SILICONE GREASE. This generous 14-gram (1/2-oz.) tub goes a long way, because just like Brylcreem, "just a little dab will do ya'!" Each:
$ 9.95


NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

$ 24.95



et14) Aftermarket electrical connector CONDUCTIVE GREASE coats and protects metal terminal connectors from exposure to air, thus preventing oxidation, the killer of electrical systems. Unlike the di-electric grease listed above, which is an insulator (non-conductive), this carbon-based grease is electrically conductive and has multiple applications (such as battery terminal posts (internally), frame grounds, etc.).

HCP27923 Aftermarket packet of CONDUCTIVE GREASE, single use 2-gram packet, enough to do a few light bulbs, terminals, etc. Even tiny amounts (that you can barely see) will create minimal electrical resistance, so be careful with this stuff around capacitors and such. It gets everywhere, will stain your hands and clothing and take three days to wash off, and smells like some of the worst goop you've ever smelled. Use a toothpick for application. Don't eat it. Wear gloves. 2-gram pouch goes a long way.
$ 6.95

Super-Penetrant Fluids and Lubricants:

Sometimes, the toughest part of working on a vehicle is battling the effects of time: seized fasteners, caused by rust, corrosion, and other factors, turns what should be a 5-minute effort into a 50-minute (or more) chore, complete with rounded-off, ruined, or snapped fasteners, e-z outs, heli-coil inserts, and more.........and that's just not right.

While the proper use of our various Anti-Seize products will prevent these nightmares from occurring in the future, you're stuck in the here-and-now, and the best way to handle these obstacles is to have the proper tools at the stand-by; and in the case of fastener seizure, the proper "tool" is a can or two of our SUPER PENETRATING LUBRICANTS at the ready; a couple of squirts, a little bit of time-----perhaps some heat for those really nasty situations----and you're on your way again, hopefully not too much worse for the experience.....

Great for use on all fasteners, fork tube cap bolts, intake and exhaust manifolds bolts, studs, and nuts, lock cylinder tumblers, or anywhere an un-cooperative fastener can be found. Can even be used to help un-seize frozen engines!

Be aware that these products are not your typical, garden-variety, run-of-the-mill "retail" type products; these are designed an used as industrial- and military-strength products, meaning they have special formulations that include a dollop more of the "good stuff" within them to solve the toughest seizure problems imaginable (the "good stuff" ingredients cost more, and it is those compounds that are left out of or reduced in concentration in "retail" level consumer products).

NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

HINT: there’s a puddle of fluid under your wheel, in the area of the brake caliper. Unless the source of the leak is fully obvious, how can you tell if it’s brake fluid of fork oil? Try to mix a few drops of water into the fluid; fork oil (or engine/gear oil) won’t mix and the water will “ball up”; brake fluid will integrate with water and absorb the water.





Cable Lubricants:

cm2) Aftermarket CABLE LUBRICANT. For the longest cable life and less drag, cables should be lubed at least once a year.

Also, since the question gets asked quite a bit, here's the answer!:

Cable lubricant is specially formulated to not attract or hold dirt or grit, as those materials will act like "sandpaper" inside your cable housing and will "file" away at the cable itself, shortening its life. Oil and grease do attract such materials, and thus are not an ideal candidates for a cable lubricant.

Also, be aware that "WD-40" and related products are not actually lubricants, they are moisture-dispersing agents, and their "slick" feel is just a by-product of the carrier agent, which eventually dries off. The "WD" part of product name stands for "Water Dispersant", and that is what it truly is (which is what makes it such a great anti-rust fogging spray).

Radiator Coolant:

The use of the proper, non-corrosive and compatible radiator COOLANT is especially important on aluminum engines, as many of the typical additives in standard coolant products contain chemicals that will lead to the corrosion of aluminum and the build-up of hard deposits that will reduce the cooling effectiveness of your system.

We offer both a conventional ethylene-glycol based coolant and an environmentally-friendly, non-poisonous propylene-glycol based fluid, both pre-mixed at a proper ratio, to provide both temperature protection from 26 degree below zero to 265-F and will not harm or clog your expensive X engine!

The factory recommends a coolant change every 24 months, using an ethylene-glycol based coolant (or equivalent) with anti-corrosion inhibitors for aluminum system, mixed 50% with water. The fluid capacity of the entire system is 2.5 quarts, and another 0.5 quart for the reservoir......so a single gallon bottle of pre-mixed coolant will do you well.

NOTE: Yamaha specifies the use of API "SE" or "SF" grade oil in all XJ models, but that is based on the original (at that time) automotive motor oil standards.....which, as the above article notes, are no longer valid in the current lubrication industry environment and classifications. Therefore we recommend that the oil you choose should meet or exceed the JASO "MA" duty rating, and all of the oils below exceed that standard. Do not EVER use synthetic oils unless they are specifically designed for motorcycle engines using wet clutch systems (as these bikes do use), as you will end up with a slipping clutches (both drive clutch and especially the starter clutch). Additionally, do not use "automotive" grade oils that have friction modifiers (reduced-friction additives) as these will cause the same problems.

The factory recommends the use of 10W30 oil when the outside temperature will never exceed 60-F, or 20W40 if the outside temperature is always above 40-F. Unfortunately, 20W40 oil is not readily available anymore, but there is not an issue with using a straight 40W oil, or 10W40, 15W40, or 20W50 formulations instead.

All XJ-series engines require somewhere from 2.5 quarts to 3.0 quarts for an oil change (depending on whether the filter is replaced or not) except for the 1100 engines, which require slightly under a gallon to accomplish an oil and filter change.

NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA.

Engine Oil System Additives, Lubricants, and Oil Flush:

When storing an engine for a long period of time.........such as during the winter off-season.......it is beneficial to protect the internal combustion chamber surfaces with a protective film of oil to prevent rust. Our aerosol FOGGING OIL products makes that a quick and simple task.

For engines that may have suffered from poor (or unknown) maintenance or oil change routines, it can be useful to perform a solvent-enhanced ENGINE OIL FLUSH routine.....adding a specific amount of a solvent to the engine oil, allowing the engine to reach operating temperature, and then draining the oil, re-filling, and draining again (to insure that all solvent has been removed).


NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

HCP11475 Aftermarket aerosol FOGGING OIL, top end lubricant coats, clings, and protects metal surfaces against rust and prevents ring seizure when an extended period of non-use is expected (winter storage). Spray directly into cylinders (thru the spark plug holes), rotate the engine over a few turns with the starter motor (but with plugs still removed-----do not allow the engine to start!) to spread the oil about, and your pistons, cylinders, rings will live happily ever after...............or, at least until you start up the engine next spring! 12-ounce can will fog many a cylinder, exhaust system component, fuel tank, etc.
$ 22.95



HCP20849 Aftermarket ENGINE OIL ENEMA TREATMENT, the use of approximately 8-10 ounces of this product --- added to the crankcase before an oil change --- helps to loosen up accumulated crud and debris inside the crankcase, and thus allows it to be washed out and drained away with a fluid and filter change. NOTE: we advise that you add this oil treatment to an already warm engine, and then start and run the engine for approximately 15 minutes or so at idle, blipping the throttle occasionally (make sure you have a fan blowing on the engine to prevent overheating!). This will circulate the solvents throughout the engine and transmission fully, allowing it to be more effective.

Although some sources recommend adding this product to the oil and then driving around for 30 miles or so (in order to fully circulate the solvent), we prefer to not put any load on the engine while this product is in the oil. Additionally, since this product may cause engine gasket or seal deterioration (if left in the oil for an extended period of time), our usage recommendations are:

a) this oil flush be added to the crankcase, and follow the recommended usage time as listed above.

b) the engine oil and flush mix be drained completely, and then an oil and filter change be performed as usual.

c) this new fresh oil and filter be used for approximately 200 miles or so, and then an oil change and filter replacement be performed again, thus insuring that all of the oil flush is completely removed.

The above procedure may seem a bit pricey, but a gallon of oil and a filter is quite a bit cheaper----and a lot less aggravating!----than having to replace leaking engine seals or gaskets.

Recommended usage interval: every 12,500 miles (or every 5th oil change).

NOTE: the following product(s) can only be shipped via ground transport (which thus eliminates the postal Priority Mail, postal Express Mail, or private carrier Expedited levels of service for this item) and cannot (and will not----don't even ask!) be shipped outside of the continental USA. Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

16-ounce can is the right size to accommodate 2 complete engine flush procedures.

Engine Cleaners:

If any of the above oil products have escaped from inside of your engine and made a mess on the outside of your powerplant, then this spray-on, hose-off ENGINE CLEANER is what you'll need to cut through the toughest of grease, grime, and baked and caked-on oil. Highly concentrated, easy to use, does not attack painted or clear-coated surfaces, and does a great job.

$ 42.95



Fuel System Additives:

HCP20849 Aftermarket fuel system FLUSH AND STABILIZER TREATMENT, the use of approximately 1 ounce per gallon of fuel --- added to the gas --- helps to loosen up accumulated crud and debris inside the petcock and the carbs, and thus allows it to be dissolved and run thru the engine. It also acts as a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel breakdown and varnish formation......will stabilize fuel for up to two years. Using it during your "winterizing" procedure will help prevent the dreaded clogged-carbs syndrome when you go to start up your bike when springs rolls around. NOTE: the recommended dosage of 1 ounce per gallon will require a different amount per bike model, since all XJ's have different sized tanks. Do not follow the "more-is-better" philosophy when using this product! It is not unusual for the engine to produce a whitish-colored exhaust while this additive is being combusted.

Steering and Suspension System Chemicals:

FORK OIL:

Unlike motor oil or gear oil, fork oil's major purpose is not lubrication.....rather, it acts as part of the suspension system, providing both damping and rebound control functions. The different "weight" or viscosity of fork oils allows you to modify the ride and handling characteristics of your bike in a fairly simple way.

And yes, it IS a lubricant also!

Although many people----including, unbelievably, Yamaha itself----recommends the use of engine motor oil as a substitute for fork oil, this is not a very good idea. Engine oils (or any multi-viscosity oil) uses additives and detergents that, while wonderful in for their intended purposes inside an engine block, tranny case, or rear drive unit, are not such a good idea inside forks. Forks operate at a much lower temperature and temperature RANGE than engine and drivetrains do, and thus do not need all those additives. And fork oil also tends to contain higher percentages of molybdenum disulfide and anti-foaming agents than engine or gear oil, both of which are very important to proper fork operation.

As a small example.......most motor oils are of a multi-viscosity nature (such as 10W30) which change their viscosity in relation to their temperature (thin when cool, thicker as they warm). A very necessary and useful feature for an engine, where you do not want your oil thinning out as the engine warms up. Not such a good idea for your suspension----unless for some reason you WANT your handling characteristics to change (get stiffer) as the forks heat up!


Proper fork oil levels and scheduled change intervals are important for fork performance and fork part longevity.....water contamination, as well as particulate wear will accumulate in fork oil, and since there is no oil filtering mechanism within your forks, the only way to get the grit and gunk out (before it chews up your oil seals and slider bearings!) is to change your fork fluid regularly. Yamaha recommends a fork fluid change every 10,000 miles or 24 months (all models except 700's), or every 16,000 miles or 24 months (all XJ700 and XJ750-X models). If you just bought a used bike, we recommend you do a fluid change as soon as possible, because just like other routine maintenance tasks (besides engine oil changes), this is one that has very likely been ignored for the last 10-12 years!


Fork oil capacities and recommended oil viscosity are as follows. The amounts listed are per fork tube and only when using stock, original springs:


XJ550 Maxim: 272cc or 9.20 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

XJ550 Seca: 230cc or 7.78 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

1980-81 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 262cc or 8.86 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

1982-84 XJ650 Maxim: 278cc or 9.40 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

1982 XJ650RJ Seca: 236cc or 7.98 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 400mm (15.75") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

1982 XJ650LJ Turbo: 238cc or 8.04 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 180mm (7.09") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

1983 XJ650LK Turbo: unknown.

1985-86 XJ700 non-X: 383cc or 12.96 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

1985-86 XJ700-X: 389cc or 13.16 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

1982 XJ750 Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil.

1983 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 257cc or 8.69 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. NOTE: owner's manual states that the fork oil capacity is 278cc (9.40 fluid ounces). It is unknown which measurement is correct.

1981-83 XJ750 Seca: 309cc or 10.45 fluid ounces. 20W fork oil.

1983 XJ750 E-II Seca or 1984 XJ750RL Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 168mm (6.61") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

1983 XJ900RK Seca: 286cc or 9.67 fluid ounces. 5W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 164mm (6.46") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.

1982-84 XJ1100 Maxim and Midnight Maxim: 210cc or 7.10 fluid ounces. 10W fork oil. Fork oil level is specified as 210mm (8.27") below the top of the tube without the spring installed, forks fully collapsed.


IMPORTANT NOTE: the above fork oil VOLUMES are for use only when using the stock fork springs. The use of aftermarket performance front fork coil springs will change those volumes, since aftermarket springs are thicker than stock----and thus displace more oil. Using the stock oil fluid VOLUME with aftermarket fork springs is a sure way to OVERFILL your forks, with the very real possibility of blowing out fork seals.


Unlike with your engine oil, where a bit too much or too little oil volume in the crankcase is not really a significant concern, with fork oil, too much or too little can cause real problems (too much oil can result in blown oil seals and a stiff, harsh ride, while too little oil volume results in excessive foaming, a soft mushy ride with possible bottoming, and erratic fork performance and lots of front end "dive" upon braking).

A better way to determine the amount of fork oil that is needed and necessary is via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL within the tubes.....sort of like measuring the oil level with a dipstick. Yamaha does not specify this level for all models; and in any case, if using aftermarket springs, the factory oil level recommendation is not always useful. The maximum oil level should be 5-1/2" (140mm) below the top of the inner fork tube, measured with all internal fork tube components installed EXCEPT FOR THE SPRINGS, and with the inner fork tube fully collapsed into the lower (outer) tube.


In order to be as accurate as possible, we recommend the use of a suitable measuring device, such as the HCP1728 oil level syringe listed further below.


And finally, the fork oil viscosity can be changed from the factory recommendations to give a softer or firmer ride.......the lower the viscosity, the thinner the oil, and the softer the ride (i.e. 5W oil is thinner than 10W which is thinner than 20W, etc.) In this regard, you would certainly be correct in thinking of fork oil as a suspension "tuning tool"! Note that a thicker oil viscosity will have much more effect on the fork "rebound" characteristics than it will on the fork compression dampening function.

ffo3) Red Line Oil products line of SYNTHETIC FORK OILS are some of the best, highest-performance fork oils developed specifically for this purpose. They provide exceptional shear lubrication, are highly resistant to any viscosity changes, and provide excellent seal lubrication as well as very high anti-foaming properties. All of these oils are completely compatible with each other, which means that different weights can safely be mixed with each other to create "custom-weights" of fork oil for the utmost in suspension tuning flexibility. NOTE: oils, if mixed for a different viscosity, should be done in a large enough batch to provide enough oil for both front forks. You do NOT want to be running different oil viscosity's in the left and right fork tubes!

Also, do not mix different brands, styles, or types of oils........you can only safely mix forks oils together from one manufacturer!

Plastic Body Parts Repair and Salvation Cement:

Modern chemistry to the rescue! Many of the plastic side covers on these XJ bikes use a rubber-mounting "peg" and "c-ear" design to provide the locating and secure attachment of the cover to the bike frame. Over the years, as the covers are removed and installed, the stressed areas of the covers break.......there goes the mounting peg, snap-=crackle-pop goes the c-shaped mounting ear area, or a split develops along the edge of the cover (and then grows and grows and grows......).

Well, here's the solution to those problems: a true modern miracle, this 2-part plastic bonding agent really, REALLY does bond thermoplastics back together again.....as strong or stronger than new. Simple, easy, and quick to use, each repair kit contains enough material to fix alot of broken side covers (or other plastic parts......fairings, airboxes, etc.). Instructions included.

bp21) Brake caliper or master cylinder PISTON POPPER. When brake caliper pistons or master cylinder plungers get seized up due to moisture in the brake fluid, they become next to impossible to remove......and no amount of air pressure is going to un-stick a fully frozen piston. For those situations, we have a simple solution: an easy-to-use, threaded brake "union bolt" with a standard grease-gun zerk fitting built in. Just replace the union bolt on your caliper with this bolt, hook up your hand-held grease gun, and a few minutes later that formerly stuck piston or plunger is in your hands! Even the smallest hand-held grease guns can generate over 3,000 psi, far more than the 150 psi you can hope to get out of an air compressor. Make sure you thoroughly and completely remove any and all grease from the caliper or master cylinder body and bore when finished!

fh1) Aftermarket master cylinder PISTON BORE FLEX-HONE. If you want to rebuild your master cylinder correctly, like a professional would, then you'll need the correct tools-----and this is one of them.

These flexible ball-tipped wire cylinder hones are especially made to give the master cylinder piston bore a gentle and proper hone pattern, removing minor surface imperfections and buildup that simply cannot be reached in any other way. Design allows full reach to end of piston bore for complete precision coverage. Super-fine 320-grit material provides the necessary toughness to properly refinish the bore. NOTE: the stranded wire "shaft" of these hones will fit into most drill chucks, but it is advised you perform the operation at a very slow speed, and for no more than 30-45 seconds. ALWAYS keep the hone wet with brake fluid while honing!

NOTE: hones can be attached to a very low speed (less than 100 rpms) drill. ALWAYS KEEP THE HONE MOVING WITHIN THE BORE IF OPERATING WITH A DRILL, AND KEEP THE STONES FULLY LUBRICATED WHEN IN USE!

HCP15662 Aftermarket RADIAL DISC BRUSH KIT, contains a properly sized miniature abrasive "flap" brush that is both small enough and abrasive enough to remove glue remnants and rust that is common in the sight window seat flange area.............the flat area where your new glass sight window needs to seat and seal against! 3/32" shank fits into most standard drill chucks (or dremel tools that have a properly sized collet) and allows you to make quick work of the polishing of this area before the installation of your new sight window.
$ 16.95



Disc Brake Caliper Tools:

bp21) Brake caliper or master cylinder PISTON POPPER. When brake caliper pistons or master cylinder plungers get seized up due to moisture in the brake fluid, they become next to impossible to remove......and no amount of air pressure is going to un-stick a fully frozen piston. For those situations, we have a simple solution: an easy-to-use, threaded brake "union bolt" with a standard grease-gun zerk fitting built in. Just replace the union bolt on your caliper with this bolt, hook up your hand-held grease gun, and a few minutes later that formerly stuck piston or plunger is in your hands! Even the smallest hand-held grease guns can generate over 3,000 psi, far more than the 150 psi you can hope to get out of an air compressor. Make sure you thoroughly and completely remove any and all grease from the caliper or master cylinder body and bore when finished!

HCP12230 Aftermarket brake system PISTON POPPER, for all model brake calipers, and all master cylinders except XJ750 Seca, XJ750 Euro, and XJ1100 rear.
$ 13.95



fh14) Aftermarket caliper bore CYLINDER BORE HONE. In order to refinish your brake caliper cylinder correctly, you'll need to restore the bore finish with a small-bore hone. Our adjustable, 3-shoe caliper hones adjust in size from 7/8" up to 2" in diameter and come complete with a set of 240-grit (medium) stones.

Replacement shoe sets are available in both medium (240) and fine-grit (400) finishes. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PURCHASE A SET OF 400-GRIT STONES WHEN YOU BUY THE HONE, so that you can make two passes on your caliper bore when rebuilding your caliper: first with the "clean-up" 240-grit stones, and then change the shoes to the "polishing" 400-grit stones for a truly professional job.

NOTE: hones have a standard 1/4" round shank and can be operated manually or attached to a very low speed (less than 100 rpms) drill. ALWAYS KEEP THE HONE MOVING WITHIN THE BORE IF OPERATING WITH A DRILL, AND KEEP THE STONES FULLY LUBRICATED WHEN IN USE! (brake fluid is a great lubricant).

HCP9955 Aftermarket 3-shoe brake CALIPER CYLINDER HONE, comes with a set of 240-grit stones. Works on all XJ-series front or rear brake calipers.
$ 24.95

HCP9957 Aftermarket replacement set of three brake caliper cylinder HONE SHOES, 240-grit. Includes a set of retaining cotter pins.

fh211) These miniature radial wire-bristle brushes allows you to clean out and polish the dust seal and, especially, the fluid seal grooves in your caliper bodies using a standard dremel type of rotary tool. NOTE: please always wear safety glasses when using these brushes, as the brass wire bristles can (and do) come loose occasionally from the brush, and they'll always head straight for your eyeball when they do!

HCP15536 Aftermarket RADIAL BRASS BRISTLE-WIRE BRUSH is a properly sized, miniature brass brush that is both small enough, gentle enough, yet abrasive enough to remove the rubber debris that builds up in the caliper fluid seal groove. Failure to remove such build up leaves an uneven surface for the new fluid seal to seat against......sure to cause either immediate or longer-term performance problems. 1/8" shank fits into most standard dremel tool collets and allows you to make quick work of the polishing of this area before the installation of your new rubber seals.
$ 7.95

HCP15924 Aftermarket RADIAL BRASS BRISTLE-WIRE BRUSH is a properly sized, miniature brass brush that is both small enough, gentle enough, yet abrasive enough to remove the rubber debris that builds up in the much thinner caliper dust seal groove. Failure to remove such build up leaves an uneven surface for the new fluid seal to seat against......sure to cause either immediate or longer-term performance problems. 1/8" shank fits into most standard dremel tool collets and allows you to make quick work of the polishing of this area before the installation of your new rubber seals. NOTE: not needed on XJ650 Maxim, XJ650 Midnight Maxim, 1979-81 XS1100 Special, XS1100 Midnight Special, or XJ1100 / XS1100 Midnight Special rear calipers (since the dust seal on these calipers fits external to the caliper bore).

$ 19.95



Brake System Fluid Bleeders:

bp11) Aftermarket BRAKE BLEEDER KITS. By eliminating the need to constantly pump-and-release the hand lever, and loosen and tighten the bleeder screw, you'll save yourself an incredible amount of time, effort, and swearing with these kits.

The master cylinders on these bikes push a very small amount of fluid with each hand stroke, and thus bleeding a system is a long, time-consuming chore----but, on the positive side, it's a really great way to build up a really strong, firm, manly handshake and grip. But there's other ways and times to accomplish that, so when all you want to do is bleed your brakes, then there's nothing better than these labor-saving tools.


NOTE: hand-bleeding a dry system...such as when you change brake lines, or have rebuilt the master cylinder or calipers....is next to impossible to do without the use of a Mity-Vac vacuum system. It will take you hours to do by hand. With a Mity Vac, you'll do it in about 10 minutes, tops.

The one-way valve kit is recommended for bleeding already full systems during annual fluid changes, etc.

Hints:

a) Make sure you don't run out of fluid in the reservoir when using these tools!

b) Make sure that your caliper bleeder screws are clean and pass fluid freely (and continue to do so once the system is evacuated) as old debris in your brake system settles down to the lowest point in the system (the caliper reservoir) and gets sucked into the bleeder screw during bleeding, this clogging the system and making it impossible to bleed.

c) Finally, here's one neat trick to get a truly professional, world-class level of brake bleeding accomplished: after you "finish" your final bleeding cycle, turn the forks so that the caliper you are bleeding is on the high side. Now do one final bleeding to rid the system of the last few tiny bubbles that tend to hide in the top of the caliper when the front wheel is straight ahead. The reason for this is: if you look at where the bleeder screw is on the caliper body, it is placed just slightly below the very top arc of the piston bore in the caliper. Turning the front wheel gets the internal bleeder screw port above this arc, and allows you to get all that pesky air out of your system!

And here are some other great tips for making this job easier:

$ 69.95


HCP8546 Aftermarket ONE-WAY VALVE BLEEDER HOSE KIT. The principle behind this simple device is just like the Speed Bleeder screws listed previously: a pressure-controlled one-way valve allows fluid out, but snaps shut to prevent air from rushing back in....thus allowing one person to easily bleed their brake system. Just release your standard brake caliper bleeder screw, install the clear tube over the fluid port, and begin pumping the lever. Nowhere near as quick and easy as the Mity-Vac listed above, but a very useful alternative to the muscle cramps you'll get trying to bleed your system using the old-fashioned (two-person) method. Instructions included. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR USE ON EMPTY (DRY) SYSTEMS!

Brake System General Tools and Supplies:

ft2) Aftermarket twisted-stem WIRE-BRISTLE CLEANING BRUSHES. The greatest tool ever invented for cleaning bored and threaded holes, such as in carb bodies, float bowls, even master cylinder piston bores. Available in either 18-8 stainless steel or brass, these brushes not only help make the job of cleaning parts so much easier, but also insure that threaded passages are clean, clean, clean and less likely to strip or deform when fasteners are inserted once again. All brushes have a "finger-loop" in the end to make twisting action easier. Stainless brushes will last longer and can clean more aggressively, so be gentle when using them on aluminum carb bodies and bowls. Brass brushes are gentle on soft metals like carb bodies, but require more effort to produce a cleaner surface and wear out more quickly.

Please see the complete assortment of sizes for these products listed in the "General Tools - Cleaning and Polishing Tools and Supplies" section in the previous post.


cps2) Aftermarket high-quality WET-OR-DRY FINISHING SHEETS. Since these don't contain "sand", we really can't call them "sandpaper", but you get the idea. A large assortment of ultra-fine finishing paper is just the trick to polish the vacuum pistons and piston bores in your carbs, or master cylinder and brake caliper bores, ridding them of any surface oxidation and minor imperfections that will create interference or friction and prevent the pistons from moving freely---causing all sorts of high-idle (and other problems) in your carbs, or dragging brakes in your calipers. Our recommendation is to start with the 400- or 600-grit paper and move up 200 grit at a time until you get the bores micro-polished to an incredible smooth finish. One 9.5" x 11" sheet of each size will be enough to do four carbs or one pair of calipers; use two sheets of the 5-1/2" x 11" super-fine grit paper.

Of course, this premium finishing paper is just the thing you'll need for prepping any painted surface for painting, too.

Please see the complete assortment of sizes for these products listed in the "General Tools - Cleaning and Polishing Tools and Supplies" section in the previous post.




CARB TOOLS:

NOTE: SOME OF THE FOLLOWING TOOLS ARE AVAILABLE FOR RENTAL!!: some tools are a one-time or infrequent use tool, so it may be more economical for you to rent them from us, rather than to purchase outright. Please see the “rental” section within the THE TOOLBOX section of our catalog at:

http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/xj-parts-catalog-section-p-the-toolbox.44630

and review the availability and procedures in the TOOL RENTAL section.


v) IDLE MIXTURE SCREW TOOL is designed for the proper removal and fine adjustment of the idle mixture screw, preventing the destruction of the fragile straight slot head on these screws. An exact-fit blade is set at the end of a 12” long shaft, and the screw driving bit is rotated via a handle on the end of tool....this design not only eliminates stripping out the idle mixture screw slot, but also allows for very fine adjustment of the screw when fine-tuning the carbs (when using a colortune plug, etc.). The long horizontal shaft allows you to easily reach the center carbs from the outside of the carb bank, no need to lift the tank to access them. A knurled section on the shaft provides for a positive grip. A very neat little tool and it'll last a lifetime or two. Fits: all XJ550 all, all XJ650, all XJ700, all XJ750, all XJ900, XJ1100, and all 1980-81 XS1100 carbs.

YICS System Tuning Tools:

The following two tools are used only in "YICS" ("Yamaha Induction Control System") equipped engines. YICS was used on all XJ550 models, 1982-up XJ650 Maxim and XJ650 Turbo models, all XJ700 air-cooled models, all XJ750 air-cooled models, 1983 XJ900RK, and 1982 XJ1100 models.

The 1980-81 XJ650 Maxim and Midnight Maxim models, and the 1982 XJ650 Seca (silver paint) models, did NOT use the YICS system.

- it has also been reported by some owners that some very early model 1982 XJ650 Maxim models did not use the YICS system, either.

- it has also been noted that very late-year model 1982 XJ650RJC (Canadian model XJ650RJ Seca red-painted models) did use a YICS engine.

YICS-engine bikes have front lower (oil pump) covers on both sides that have a rectangular "YICS" emblem in them below the cast-in YAMAHA wording. Non-YICS models have the oil pump covers with only the YAMAHA wording (or no wording at all) cast into the cover.

YICS bikes also use a valve cover that has the word YICS cast into the top surface, while non-YICS models are blank or are cast "YAMAHA" (or "YAMAHA 5VALVE on XJ700-X and XJ750-X models) into the valve cover.


vv7) Aftermarket YICS CHAMBER PORT BLANKING TOOL---this is the tool you'll need to perform a proper carb synchronization on any YICS motor......without it, you're just wasting time. This block-off tool is used to isolate each cylinder from the others while performing a carb synch. Updated version of the factory #90890-04068-00 tool. Some people claim that this tool is NOT needed to perform a proper synch; we disagree, and so do the Yamaha engineers who designed the YICS system. This quality tool features a snap-open and shut trunnion handle design like the original. This is NOT a cheap home-made tool and has all the proper seals, dimensions, and high-temp insulators as an original factory tool.

We recommend that you purchase a set of the HCP6380 replacement seals, too, as you'll eventually need to replace them.

Eventually, after many years of dedicated use (or, a short time after the tool was left in the chamber too long, and got too hot), the red urethane end seal bushing will also deteriorate and split/crack/disintegrate. Our replacement end seal will renew your tool for many more years of use (or abuse……).

c5) Yamaha YICS CHAMBER AND PASSAGES CLEAN-OUT TOOLS ---- ---- the YICS chamber runs side-to-side in the back of the cylinder head, and is accessed via a 12mm bolt on either end (this is the same chamber that the HCP5460 synch passage-block-off tool fits into). This chamber has four tiny passages in the top, one for each cylinder. These passages can accumulate soot and other material over time, effectively clogging or reducing their capability to pass the fuel-air mixture through them, and thus compromising their function….take a look for yourself:



The HCP1410SS bristle wire brush will effectively scrub the length of the passage bore, while the YICS port probe & clean-out tool (HCP1282) has a spear point that can punch through the toughest accumulation of carbon build-up, and has marked notches on the extension rod to indicate exactly how deep into the chamber the tool must be inserted to easily locate the passages. Convenient dowel handle allows for ease of use. A very handle tool to have around! For use on all XJ650 - XJ900 YICS-equipped engines (the HCP1282 port tool is not needed on XJ550 engines and is too short to reach the entire length on XJ1100 engines).

HCP1410SS Aftermarket STAINLESS STEEL WIRE-BRISTLE CLEANING BRUSH, 11.0mm diameter, perfect size for cleaning out the YICS chamber in the cylinder head of all the built-up baked carbon before using the YICS tool. We recommend the use of an aggressive solvent when cleaning this passage, such as Hoppes #9 gun-cleaning fluid (available at gun shops) or similar. NOTE: this brush is too short to reach into the entire length of the chamber on XJ1100 engines.

fh14) Aftermarket VACUUM PISTON BORE HONE. In order to refinish the vacuum piston bore correctly, you'll need to restore and refinish the bore with a small-bore hone. This adjustable, 3-shoe cylinder bore hone adjusts all the way down in size to 7/8" (and all the way up to 2" in diameter, so it can also be used for your brake calipers, too!) and come with a set of 240-grit (medium) stones.

Replacement shoe sets are available in both medium (240) and fine-grit (400) finishes. IT IS RECOMMENDED THAT YOU PURCHASE A SET OF 400-GRIT STONES WHEN YOU BUY THE HONE, as you really need the super-fine stones to put the proper finish on this piston bore: you can first "clean-up" the bore with the provided 240-grit stones, and then change the shoes to the "polishing" 400-grit stones for a truly professional job.

NOTE: hones have a standard 1/4" round shank and can be operated manually or attached to a very low speed (less than 100 rpms) drill. ALWAYS KEEP THE HONE MOVING WITHIN THE BORE IF OPERATING WITH A DRILL, AND KEEP THE STONES FULLY LUBRICATED WHEN IN USE! (brake fluid is a great lubricant).

Having the carb piston bore fully polished is an incredibly important task when rebuilding a set of carbs, as any restriction to the free and almost friction-less movement of the vacuum piston will create a variety of performance-related problems. You can review this issue (the vacuum piston "CLUNK TEST") at:

http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/1640

and see a nice video of a clunking piston at:




And the reason you want your vacuum pistons to operate as closely as possible to a "zero-resistance" state is because they must be able to perform, constantly, in the following manner; and if not, tuning and performance becomes troublesome or downright impossible:





You can further polish the bores with 600-, 800-, 1000-, 1200-, and 1500-grit FINISHING PAPERS (listed further below) for a "blueprinted" mirror-finish. You can cut the finishing paper(s) into approximately 2" tall x 3-1/2" rectangular strips and "wrap" the finishing paper around the hone shoes to make the final polishing steps simple and consistent.

Please see the complete assortment of sizes for these products listed in the "General Tools - Cleaning" section in the previous post.

NOTE: do not EVER attempt to polish away any discoloration on the vacuum pistons! The pistons are actually aluminum with a brass-like anodized coating. A brief and gentle "wipe" with 1500- or 2000-grit finishing paper is all that is needed on the pistons themselves.

NOTE: hones have a standard 1/4" round shank and can be operated manually or attached to a very low speed (less than 100 rpms) drill. ALWAYS KEEP THE HONE MOVING WITHIN THE BORE IF OPERATING WITH A DRILL, AND KEEP THE STONES FULLY LUBRICATED WHEN IN USE! (brake fluid is a great lubricant).

Dissolved and chlorinated paraffin wax is the best (and perhaps the only) way to safely bring some life back into stiff, worn rubber material... such as that found in those all-important carb piston diaphragms. Years of hard life inside of your carb take their toll, and whenever your carb is apart for service, and generous application of this product will help to clean, maintain, and restore the flexibility, while prolonging their usable service life. 10cc dripper bottle contains enough fluid to do about eight diaphragms. Simple to use, spread on, wait a few minutes, wipe off, repeat and you're done!

Additionally, there may be a per-package weight or quantity restriction, and thus multiple-unit orders of this product may have to be shipped in separate packages and will incur additional shipping charges.

HCP20849 Aftermarket fuel system FLUSH AND STABILIZER TREATMENT, the use of approximately 1 ounce per gallon of fuel --- added to the gas --- helps to loosen up accumulated crud and debris inside the petcock and the carbs, and thus allows it to be dissolved and run thru the engine. It also acts as a fuel stabilizer to prevent fuel breakdown and varnish formation......will stabilize fuel for up to two years. Using it during your "winterizing" procedure will help prevent the dreaded clogged-carbs syndrome when you go to start up your bike when springs rolls around. NOTE: the recommended dosage of 1 ounce per gallon will require a different amount per bike model, since all XJ's have different sized tanks. Do not follow the "more-is-better" philosophy when using this product! It is not unusual for the engine to produce a whitish-colored exhaust while this additive is being combusted.

j2) Aftermarket Morgan CARBTUNE PRO 4-COLUMN SYNCH GAUGE TOOL.......brand new, no display box, includes all accessories and instructions. This is the one that professionals use and recommend, and is superior in design, ease of use, and accuracy versus vacuum gauges and all other versions, whether fluid-filled or otherwise. Uses damped stainless steel sliding dowel rods instead of mercury or the "blue mystery fluid", giving accurate, safe, and easy-to-read measurements. More expensive than other synch tools and worth it. Use it even once and you'll wonder how you lived without it.

NOTE: this tool is used on all XJ engines, regardless of whether it is a "YICS" engine or not, and is necessary to perform the "running" or vacuum synch.

A FEW WORDS ABOUT “BENCH SYNCHING”:

If your carbs have been removed from the engine for a rebuild, then it is also suggested that a “bench synch” procedure be performed, which does not require any special tools perform (besides a paper clip or the like)….the only purpose of the bench synch procedure is merely to get the carbs set up “close enough” to allow the engine to start and run, at which time a running (vacuum) synch of the engine should be immediately performed, using the HCP96Q synch gauges, A great visual guide to the bench synch process can be seen at:

http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/6366


A FEW WORDS ABOUT “VACUUM SYNCHING”:

If your engine will actually start up and run (even badly), then you don’t need to worry about “pre-setting” any of the synch screws or the butterfly openings; the only purposes of that “bench synching” process is to get the engine in a “close enough in horseshoes or hand grenades” setting to allow the engine to start up. Once you get the engine running, you’ll perform a running or “vacuum synch” by:

Step 1) synch carb 3 to 4 (using “synch screw No. 4” pictured in the thread below)
Step 2) then synch carb 1 to 2 (using “synch screw No. 1” pictured in the thread below)
Step 3) and then synch carbs 1+2 to carbs 3+4 (using “synch screw No. 2” pictured in the thread below)
Step 4) and you’re done!

Here’s a pretty good video, and although he doesn’t show you the actual synch screws being adjusted, you can see those in the image on this thread (first picture):



Note that the above thread is all about a non-running (or so-called “”bench synch”), which as I’ve said above, is not necessary if your engine is already capable of running on its own……the non-running "bench-synch" procedure is only necessary to make sure your engine can be started up right after a carb teardown / rebuild (since the butterfly positions may be totally out-of-whack); but once the engine can be started and run under its own power ---- no matter how poorly --- then the running (vacuum) synch is all that’s needed....and note that is is needed, right away, first thing, or woe be unto you.......

And of course, as part of a regular engine tune-up procedure, the vacuum-synching procedure is a must


Remember, vacuum synch is all about getting the same amount of vacuum “pull” on each cylinder, and not about any absolute level / amount of vacuum pull…….that is why on the Carbtune gauge that he's using in the video, he isn’t shooting for any particular “height” of the sliding steel rods, he’s just getting them to the same level (“height”) on the gauge. If using a set of homemade “fluid-bottles” synch tool, you’ll just shoot for the same fluid level in the bottles as you go thru the process (the fluid levels are analogous to the levels of the sliding rods in the Carbtune gauge). Same thought applies if using flickering-needle vacuum gauges….the actual amount of vacuum isn’t important, only that each cylinder ends up drawing the same amount of vacuum as all of the others by the end of the process.

Please note that Yamaha specifies that the engine synchronization procedure should be performed every 2,500 - 4,000 miles to insure the maximum performance and life-expectancy from your engine.

Also, please note! you can sometimes find these same sticks selling at a discount at various places, but most of these places are offering a much older, now-discontinued Carbtune II version, rather than the latest, much-improved Carbtune PRO version that is offered here. The PRO version is much more durable, accurate, and easier to clean and service than the older version.

j5) Aftermarket Gunson COLORTUNE TUNING SPARK PLUG KIT....brand new, no display box, includes all accessories and instructions. If you really want to tune your multi-carbs to perfection, you'll have to use this unique "see-through" spark plug that allows you to view the combustion chamber flame color in real-time, thus allowing accurate (rather than guesswork) adjustments to your idle mixture screws. Use it once and you won't believe how you ever got by without it, and will pity those who don't have one of their own. Beware: you'll find that a lot of people now want to be your "friend" and have you come and tune on their bikes, once they find out you have a Colortune!

Also, please note! you can find quite a few of these plugs at a discount at various places, but most of these places are selling an older, now-discontinued "automotive" version of the Gunson colortune plug. While there are no fitment differences between the automotive and "motorcycle" versions of these plugs, just be aware that the automotive versions were designed to be used in a water-cooled engine, and thus have a significantly lower heat tolerance----and if these plugs overheat, the "clear" window either goes cloudy or just simply fractures.

NOTE: the proper use of the Colortune plug requires you to:

a) have your valve clearances within spec,
b) have the engine proper vacuum-synched,
c) have the YICS chamber blanking tool installed (if it is a YICS engine),
d) perform a re-synch of the engine after each cylinder is color-tuned. This colortune - synch - colortune - synch etc. iteration is necessary as any adjustments made to each cylinder (as determined by the results of the colortune operation) throws the engine out of synch.
e) the above procedure is the only way to truly and properly "tune" a multi-carbed engine!


The following overview video show the Colortune Plug in action:




going from orange (rich) to blue:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hFUvQ4gaPc

Note in the above video how much easier it is to see the combustion color, especially when looking at the plug “window” from off-center (i.e. looking straight down the centerline of the plug results in the actual spark color “diluting” the combustion color). Also note that it is being filmed in a dark area, making the “neon blue” color easier to observe than when observed in strong light.


Here’s a good one showing a colortune being hooked up incorrectly (arcing):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TVTfNSTR39o


Another good diagnostic tip: a cylinder running too lean can exhibit a periodic orange flame and sooty plug. If the cylinder is too lean to fire, the fuel accumulates for a couple of cycles, then when it does ignite the total fuel charge is too rich (orange flame) with the resultant unburned hydrocarbon deposits resulting (the sooty plug).


Please remember, though, that a Colortune is NOT used to set your carbs at anything other than idle rpm's!!

NOTE: not for use on cylinders under 180cc displacement (720cc or smaller on a 4-cylinder motor) as the extra volume that this adapter increases the combustion chamber volume, which in turn decreases the effective compression ratio of the engine---thus resulting in an unreliable reading from the plug. Only really useful for XJ750-X owners, as they are the only XJ-series bikes that have 12mm plugs AND have a cylinder displacement greater than 180cc.

af12) OEM and aftermarket carb fuel bowl FLOAT HEIGHT and FUEL LEVEL GAUGES......let's face it, setting the float level heights on carbs is a real pain in the butt (and that's being as nice as I can be about it!). You normally have to take the carbs on-and-off the bike two or three times to get the settings right, rig up some special leveling fixtures, etc. etc. If you've done it before, you know what I mean. These special tools can help lessen this nightmare (but not eliminate it, sorry!).

Yamaha service manuals define the float-height be set via the "clear tube" method, whereby you install a clear piece of tubing into the carb bowl drain outlet, open the drain screw, and then hold the tube upwards against the edge of the carb bowl and see how high up the fuel rises in the tube, and then compare this level to a specified distance below the carb bowl-carb body interface.

A simplified "shortcut" method is to set one of the floats correctly (as measured by the fuel level), and then measure the "height" of the float off of the carb base. Using this known "correct" float height measurement, you can then set the remaining three carb float heights using that once correct measurement, and then using the clear-tube measure to simply check the results (and tweak as is necessary to get all the fuel levels as close a possible to each other).

Setting your fuel levels correctly is important to having your engine operate correctly. The fuel levels in the bowls have a direct effect on the air-fuel mixture ratio ("rich" or "lean") of each carb, and thus both the accuracy and the equality of those levels between the different carbs should be adjusted with care.

These gauges will allow you to do just that.

Here's the Holy Grail on this subject:

Float Height Measurement Tools:

HCP9798 We offer this inexpensive FLOAT HEIGHT RULER that comes with a sliding "pocket clip" (which doubles as a fixed position pointer), allowing you to duplicate your float setting measurements from one carb to the next. Ultra-thin and only a 1/4" wide, this 150mm (6") measuring stainless steel ruler has black etched rulings and is a valuable addition to your carb tool arsenal.
$ 12.95

HCP4 Professional quality sliding-arm FLOAT HEIGHT GAUGE is specifically designed for measuring float heights and features a sliding arm that allows you to accurately measure the distance from the carb body base to any point on the float itself (normally to the top or bottom edge of the float, when the needle is in its "just-barely-closed" position) and then apply this exact same setting to the other carbs. A great time saver for this technically simple, but very time-consuming task.
$ 37.95



Fuel Level Measurement Tools:

NOTE: Hitachi and Mikuni carbs use the same "clear tube gauge" to check the fuel level within their bowls, but all Hitachi (and the XJ1100 and XS1100 Mikuni) carbs feature a cast bowl drain nipple port that also acts as a receiver to the fuel level gauge......just plug-and-play (well, depends on what your definition of "play" is, but you get the picture..........). A great image of the proper use of this clear-tube "gauge" can be seen at:

http://www.xj4ever.com/setting fuel levels.pdf

and see page 8.

Note that the factory-recommended method is properly shown above; the tube should be wrapped around to the side of the outer carb, and "centered" front-to-back along the body.


All other Mikuni carb float bowls do not have the cast-in bowl drain nipple port, and thus the "clear tube" has nothing to attach to. Yamaha provided a separate, brass TUBE ADAPTER that could be temporarily inserted and removed from the bowl drain hole on the Mikuni bowls, thus providing an attachment nipple for those models. An aftermarket version of this non-permanent adapter is available as part HCP26218 below, and we also offer a permanent bowl DRAIN NIPPLE for Mikuni carbs that can be easily installed and provided a permanent "nipple" for the bowl drain port, thus making them functionally just like the Hitachi bowls (part HCP8494 below). You will need to use one or the other of these two adapters in order to check fuel levels on Mikuni bowls (except XJ600 Seca II, XJ1100, and XS1100 bowls).



HCP1592 OEM clear-tube FUEL LEVEL TUBE GAUGE, used to check the fuel level in the bowls when the bowls are installed by attaching the end of the clear tube to the float bowl drain nipple, and then holding the graduated fuel gauge up against the side of the fuel bowl. Black millimeter markings on the measurement tube allow you to easily determine the fuel level with respect to the bowl-to-body reference point. For use on all XJ models with fuel bowl drain nipples (all models with Hitachi carbs and XJ600 Seca II, XJ1100, and XS1100 models with Mikuni carbs, and all other Mikuni carbs using our HCP26218 adapter tool or the HCP8494 drain outlet nipples).

HCP4926x2 Aftermarket clear-tube FUEL LEVEL TUBE GAUGE, used to check the fuel level in the bowls when the bowls are installed by attaching the end of the clear rubber tube to the float bowl drain nipple, and then holding the other end against the side of the fuel bowl. Unlike the original gauge HCP1592 listed above, this is just a clear section of fuel line and does NOT have the upper end with any graduated markings. For use on all XJ models with fuel bowl drain nipples (all models with Hitachi carbs and XJ600 Seca II, XJ1100, and XS1100 models with Mikuni carbs, and all other Mikuni carbs using our HCP26218 adapter tool or the HCP8494 drain outlet nipples).
$ 10.95



HCP26218 Aftermarket float bowl FUEL LEVEL TUBE ADAPTER TOOL, for use on all Mikuni carb bowls which do not have a tube nipple cast into the bowl drain output port (note that XJ600 Seca II, XJ1100, and XS1100 models, do have a cast-in bowl drain nipple, and thus do not use (nor need) this product). Unlike Hitachi carbs, Mikuni float bowls do not have a permanent float bowl drain outlet port fitting which the clear tube fuel level gauge can be attached onto; nope, there's just an empty hole there. Yamaha supplied dealership service departments with a special o-ringed brass adapter fitting that pops into this hole, and which could be used during fuel-level checks….moving this (non-permanent) adapter from bowl-to-bowl as the fuel-level checking process proceeded. This reproduction o-ringed aluminum adapter properly duplicates the function of the original (note: for a permanent adapter solution, you can use the HCP8494 bowl drain nipples below).

HCP8494 Aftermarket float bowl DRAIN NIPPLE, for use on all Mikuni carb bowls which do not have a tube nipple cast into the bowl drain output port (note that XJ600 Seca II, XJ1100, and XS1100 models, do have a cast-in bowl drain nipple, and thus do not use (nor need) this product). Unlike Hitachi carbs, Mikuni float bowls do not have a permanent float bowl drain outlet port fitting which the clear tube fuel level gauge can be attached to; no, there's just an empty hole there. The factory had a special o-ringed brass adapter fitting that fit into this hole that would be used during fuel-level checks, but very few people have that adapter and even it is somewhat cumbersome to use. These precisely machined nipples are designed for permanent installation into the Mikuni float bowls----just tap them in place, they are a friction-fit----and them you can slip the fuel-level gauge tube directly onto the protruding end of the fitting. Simple 20-second installation: clean the inside of the drain port in the bowl, use a bit of silicone lube on the adapter, place proper end in drain port, and gently tap in place with a hammer. Once installed, it's leak-free but can still be removed (not easily, but it can!), in case your preferences ever change in the future. Protrudes approximately 1/8" from the drain port, enough to install the clear tube gauge but not enough to interfere with other carb functions. Looks original once installed. Fits Mikuni carbs used on all XJ550 models, XJ650 Turbo, XJ700-X, XJ750-X, and XJ900 models. Use 1 per float bowl. Each:

Carb Rack Assembly Alignment Plate:

j177) Aftermarket carb rack ALIGNMENT PLATE. When you break the individual carbs out of the rack, one of the crucial re-assembly procedures is to make sure that all the carb bodies are in "perfect" alignment with each within the rack. This is critical, as mis-alignment of one carb body to another will result in different throttle valve opening positions between differing (adjacent) carbs that no amount of synch screw adjusting will ever remedy.

As you start installing the screws into the individual carb bodies (mounting them into the upper and lower carb rack bracket bars), the carb bodies will try to twist and "walk" from each other due to the torsional forces being applied to the screws and the precise alignment of the screw mounting holes.

Yamaha specifies the use of a flat piece of plate glass to perform this procedure.....the idea being, if you set the carb throats down against a perfectly flat surface, you can apply downward pressure onto the carb bodies to insure that the throats stay perfectly flat against the glass plate during re-assembly and tightening of the rack bracket screws, insuring accurate carb body alignments within the assembled rack.

This 1/2" thick flat plate serves this purpose, and also has a relief slot cut into the center of it to allow clearance for the throttle cable bracket linkage or the idle speed screw head, so that those items do not interfere with the re-assembly procedure (an inconvenient issue to deal with when using plate glass). Non-slip foot pads prevents the plate from trying to slide around while you're fiddling with the screws and the carb rack. Works for all XJ-series carbs.

Float Pin Extraction Tool:

it32) Aftermarket handheld CENTER PUNCH is useful for making punch points when starting drill bits, etc. These small (5" long, 1/2" diameter knurled body) punches have a hardened alloy steel punch tip, and does not require the use of a striking hammer.

NOTE: the float pin on Mikuni carbs is held in via a friction fit on one end of the pin, and it is not uncommon for these pins to become seized in the posts.........however, one end of the pin is not (from the factory) "mushroomed"................if yours are, it's probably because someone was pounding at it with a punch trying to get it loose, and weren't able to. Any amount of "swollen" or mushrooming of the end of the pin should be gently removed with a file or similar tool, before pin extraction is attempted.

But even in the best of cases, because of the "friction-fit" design of these pins, removing them can be a tricky process. We then recommend you try this trick:

and use a proper sized center-punch (like our HCP17638) to gently punch out the pin. Some good info and images can be found here:

The #6 and #7 size wires are the only sizes small enough to fit into the tiny jet passages and emulsion tube holes and clean them properly (without the risk of "re-sizing" the hole by mistake). NOTE: even the smallest #6 wire is too large to clean the starter jet down in the bowl! For that task, you'll need to order the correct bowl starter jet drill bits listed further below.

ft2) Aftermarket twisted-stem WIRE-BRISTLE CLEANING BRUSHES. The greatest tool ever invented for cleaning bored and threaded holes, such as in carb bodies, float bowls, even master cylinder piston bores. Available in either 18-8 stainless steel or brass, these brushes not only help make the job of cleaning parts so much easier, but also insure that threaded passages are clean, clean, clean and less likely to strip or deform when fasteners are inserted once again. All brushes have a "finger-loop" in the end to make twisting action easier. Stainless brushes will last longer and can clean more aggressively, so be gentle when using them on aluminum carb bodies and bowls. Brass brushes are gentle on soft metals like carb bodies, but require more effort to produce a cleaner surface and wear out more quickly.

Please see the complete assortment of sizes for these products listed in the "General Tools - Cleaning and Polishing Tools and Supplies" section in the previous post.




cps2) Aftermarket high-quality WET-OR-DRY FINISHING SHEETS. Since these don't contain "sand", we really can't call them "sandpaper", but you get the idea. A large assortment of ultra-fine finishing paper is just the trick to polish the vacuum pistons and piston bores in your carbs, or master cylinder and brake caliper bores, ridding them of any surface oxidation and minor imperfections that will create interference or friction and prevent the pistons from moving freely---causing all sorts of high-idle (and other problems) in your carbs, or dragging brakes in your calipers. Our recommendation is to start with the 400- or 600-grit paper and move up 200 grit at a time until you get the bores micro-polished to an incredible smooth finish. One 9.5" x 11" sheet of each size will be enough to do four carbs or one pair of calipers; use two sheets of the 5-1/2" x 11" super-fine grit paper.

Of course, this premium finishing paper is just the thing you'll need for prepping any painted surface for painting, too.

z7) Aftermarket wire BOWL STARTER JET CLEAN-OUT TOOLS. As you will quickly discover if you ever try to clean or rebuild your carbs, the tiny, non-removable starter jet that is stuck wa-a-a-y down at the bottom of a drilled passage in the carb bowl is next to impossible to clean. For one, did we mention that the jet opening is TINY? And did I also mention that it's stuck way down at the bottom of a small passageway, and basically unreachable? AND THEREFORE, NO ONE EVER REALLY EVEN ATTEMPTS TO CLEAN IT OUT? And that a clogged starter jet not only means trouble starting and idling, but that starter circuit is actually also involved in idle and off-idle performance? Well, how do you actually clean it? Even the tiniest cleaning rod in our carb passage cleaning wire sets (above) aren't small enough to fit through this starter jet (it is THE smallest jet-passage in the entire carb)...

Well, here's how you clean it: with these jet clean-out tools. Just big enough to get through the jet, but not big enough to ENLARGE the jet (that's a huge no-no), these high-speed steel STARTER JET DRILL BIT or the STARTER JET WIRE PROBE TOOL. The drill bits can be gently rotated (but never "pushed", as it will break), while the stiff pointed-tip wire probe tool can be twirled to dig through the toughest of crud. This is the only way to properly clean these starter jets.

NOTE: these are TINY drill bits, and will not chuck into a standard drill chuck. You have to use a mini pin-vise attachment or do it carefully by hand.

COMPARISON: these drill bits are a mere 1-1/2" long, and as such, will disappear below the top "plane" of the bowl as it goes down into the jet. You will have to use a pair of very slim needle-nose pliers to grip the tip of this drill bit and rotate it! The probe tools have a long piece of semi-rigid steel wire attached at the end of a hand-held "pen" stick.

The drill bits are harder to manipulate, but do a better job since they have a "cutting edge" on the tip.

The probe tools are easier to manipulate, but don't do quite as good a job since they do not have any type of "cutting edge" on the tip....but are still sharp enough to "pick" through most types of sludge and build-up in the jet.

NOTE: The 1980-81 XJ650 carb bowls should have removable bowl starter jets, which will make your life a lot easier!

P.S. how do you know when your starter jet is really, truly, zestfully clean? One of two ways:

a) shine a strong penlight or mini flashlight into the bottom of the bowl, where this jet passage "intake" is located. Look through the top of the bowl down into the jet passage "outflow" passage (this is the passage that the brass suction tube in the bottom of the carb body actually fits down into). Focus your eye carefully on the jet opening and make sure it's clean. P.S. it helps to do all this while in a darkened area.........see the picture "starter-jet.jpg" on page 2 of this forum thread topic for a great image of what you want to see!:

http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/4050


b) put the spray tip (you may have to gently shape the end of it to a fine point, see the video below) of a can of carb or brake cleaner into the intake opening of the starter jet and let rip a spray. A STEADY, FINE, POWERFUL STREAM OF FLUID WILL COME OUT OF THE OUTFLOW PASSAGE ON THE TOP OF THE CARB BOWL IF THE JET IS PERFECTLY CLEAN AND OPEN. I mean this stream will absolutely spit out a good 5-10 feet. If the stream isn't powerful and laser-like precise coming out of the jet, then the jet isn't zestfully clean.....


By the way, when using the spray-stream method of checking the jet, don't even THINK of putting your eye or face anywhere even NEAR the jet outflow path, unless you like a painful and potentially serious trip to the emergency room.




c9) Hitachi & Mikuni carbs THREAD CHASER AND CLEAN-UP TAPS. The soft aluminum bodies of the carbs can take a severe beating over the years, especially as it concerns their threaded holes. Steel is harder than aluminum, so you know what's going to distort, deform, or strip first...the threaded bore holes. The following professional quality tool-steel metric cutting taps will allow you to either "clean-up" or re-thread distorted or stripped threads in all metals, soft (aluminum) to hard (steel). THE TINY THREADS OF THE IDLE MIXTURE SCREW PORT IS ESPECIALLY PRONE TO DAMAGE AND SHOULD BE "CLEANED" UP WITH A PASS OF A THREADING TAP.


HCP28194 Aftermarket carb body THREAD CHASER BASIC TAPS SET. This basic set of 6 taps contains all of the different sizes for the most commonly needed threaded holes on all Hitachi and Mikuni carb bodies. Almost all threaded will exhibit some type of thread wear (distortion) or minor injury that should be repaired, especially to the smaller, more “fragile” threads on the mixture screw bores, the fuel and are jets threads, the bowl, hat, and bracket mounting holes, etc. Running thread taps thru all of these threaded holes in the carb bodies will not only make the re-assembly process easier, smoother, and more secure, but there is a certain satisfaction and surety that comes with having like-new threads that can only be described as “machinist porn” (those of you that know, will know what I mean!). Correct size taps will do the upper and lower rack bracket holes, the float bowl attachment holes, the float bowl drain screw holes, the carb hat attachment holes, the Mikuni float valve seat bracket hole, Mikuni main jet needle retainer plate holes (inside the vacuum piston), all air jet and fuel jet holes, enrichment plunger lifter bracket holes, and throttle shaft butterfly valve mounting holes. Comes with a can of cutting fluid and a t-handle tap holder tool. Note that unlike the complete taps set below (HCP28121), the taps for the Hitachi float valve seat and the choke plunger seat bores (on all Hitachi and Mikuni models) are not included in this set (those larger taps are what add significantly to the cost of the complete taps set). NOTE: due to the reality that you may use these tools only once, it is suggested that you use the tool rental option for this tap set. However, under the rental option, if you use the taps for actual thread tapping (cutting brand new threads in a newly drilled hole), then the return option is not allowed!

HCP28121 Aftermarket carb body THREAD CHASER COMPLETE TAPS SET. This complete set of 9 taps contains all of the different sizes of threads found on all Hitachi and Mikuni carb bodies. Almost all threaded will exhibit some type of thread wear (distortion) or minor injury that should be repaired, especially to the smaller, more “fragile” threads on the mixture screw bores, the fuel and are jets threads, etc. Running thread taps thru all of the threaded holes in the carb bodies will not only make the re-assembly process easier, smoother, and more secure, but there is a certain satisfaction and surety that comes with having like-new threads that can only be described as “machinist porn” (those of you that know, will know what I mean!). Correct size taps will do the upper and lower rack bracket holes, the float bowl attachment holes, the float bowl drain screw holes, the carb hat attachment holes, the choke plunger seat holes, the Mikuni float valve seat bracket hole, the Hitachi float valve seat hole, Mikuni main jet needle retainer plate holes (inside the vacuum piston), all air jet and fuel jet holes, enrichment plunger lifter bracket holes, and throttle shaft butterfly valve mounting holes. NOTE: due to the expense of this kit, and the reality that you may use these tools only once, it is suggested that you use the tool rental option for this tap set. However, under the rental option, if you use the taps for actual thread tapping (cutting brand new threads in a newly drilled hole), then the return option is not allowed!

c9a) THREAD CHASER DIES. Unlike the thread taps listed above, these thread DIES are used to clean, restore, and repair threads on the threaded fasteners (screws, bolts, studs, etc.). These tools help restore that like-new feel to used bolts, and straighten and restore threads to allow for proper torque settings to be achieved and maintained. Unlike standard round dies, these dies feature cutting teeth within a standard “hex-nut” shape, so you can use a wrench or socket to hold the die and turn it over the fastener. Just like cleaning / chasing threaded holes with a tap, this task is easy to use, important to do, and when you’re done you’ll be glad you took the time to do the job properly! NOTE: these dies are not used to cut new threads (you need to use a “real” die for that purpose), and only to renew threads on non-hardened fasteners! Always lubricate the tool (or fastener) with a light oil or grease when using.


HCP28566 Aftermarket THREAD CHASER DIE, for m3 x 0.50 pitch fasteners. Use on the fasteners for all of the applications listed below (and any other that is the same size; although nor a common size fastener--- it’s tiny! --- there are more applications than what is listed below). Each:

HCP29361 Aftermarket THREAD CHASER DIE, proper size (m6 x 0.50 pitch) for all Mikuni and the ultra-fine threaded Hitachi pilot circuit mixture screws. This is a very handy tool to have in your kit. You’ll need to use the HCP29363 holder to secure the die, or use a set of large pliers or channel locks to hold this round die…..and as you might expect, holding the die with the proper tool holder is the much preferred method. Using both a thread tap (HCP2398) and this die will allow you to clean up both elements of a fastener system for a like-new pattern of thread engagement and performance….this is how professional rebuilders do it! NOTE due to the extremely fine-threads on these screws, it can be quite difficult to get the re-threading process started correctly, and you can easily “cross-thread” the screw if the start of thread engagement is “forced”. Each:

Carb Refinishing Tools:

Well, since you're going to spend the time and a lot of effort to make your carbs perform properly, why not also take them to "the final frontier"? Yes, performance is more important than appearance, but achieving a polished, "like-new" finish on your carb bodies is mostly just a labor of love, and time......rather than money.

Our special miniature POLISHING BRUSHES allow you to bring back the brilliant luster to the aluminum alloy carb bodies and bowls that makes them look showroom-fresh. Fitting into a standard high-speed dremel tool, these stiff bristle wire brushes not only remove the corrosion, discoloration, and oxidation that is typical of 30-year old carbs, but also leaves a smooth, sealed luster beauty that gives a truly professional touch to you restoration efforts.

These brushes can be used "as is", or, when combined with our coarse or fine-grit POLISHING POWDERS, makes the job that much easier and quicker. NOTE: in any case, plan on spending about 1-hour per carb to achieve a fully polished appearance.....it's tedious, but enjoyable, as you can easily see the progress as you go. ALSO.......perform the polishing procedure only after you have cleaned the carbs internally (via carb dip or other procedures), as many chemicals will react and dis-color the carb bodies!

As a final measure, we recommend spraying your newly polished bodies with our BULLETPROOF HIGH-GLOSS, 2-STAGE, FAST-DRYING CLEAR-COAT.....it's fuel resistant and non-yellowing, and will allow your labors of love to retain their beauty for many years to come.


HCP16662 Aftermarket miniature POLISHING BRUSH, 1/8" shank stainless steel bristle wire high-speed brush quickly removes corrosion and surface imperfections without displacing metal. Depending on how badly the carbs are tarnished, figure on using 2 brushes per carb body. NOTE: always wear eye protection when using these brushes, as they will tend to "shed" bristle fragments as they are used. Each:

dd2) Aftermarket camshaft and drive chain CHAIN BREAKER AND RIVETER TOOLS, needed to properly break and rivet a master link onto the replacement chains.

NOTE: most replacement cam chains are sold as an "endless chain", meaning it comes riveted together. In a situation where you have the engine all apart, it can be used as is, because you'll have side access to the gear on the crank. If you will be installing a new chain into an assembled engine, then you will have to break one of the links in order to "drop and drape" the chain over the crank gear.......and thus will also need a new master link in order to put the chain back together again. Almost all OEM chains are” joined” chains (they originally use a removable, rivet-style master link), and when replacing he master link the new link will need to be peened in place (rivet-style master links cannot be re-used).

NOTE: most drive chains are joined together with a rivet-style master link (some chains use a clip-style master link, which requires a different procedure than what is illustrated below). Here are some good instructions on how to properly peen a rivet-style master link. Although the forum thread on the XS650 website shows this procedure being performed on a camshaft chain, the same idea applies to drive chains, too:

spt22) Spark plug drain well BRUSH and BLOCK-OFF PLUGS allow you to clean out the water-drain wells in the cylinder heads on all XJ700-X and XJ750-X (water-cooled) engines. These drain passages are only accessible by removing the cylinder head decorative, ribbed side covers (which will expose the small, center well drain-hole on the side of the head). This passage hole is used to drain water and associated grit and gunk from the spark plug wells on each side of the head (i.e. the left side hole drains plugs #1 and #2; the right side hole drains wells on the #3 and #4 plugs). Clogged drain ports allow water and other junk to build up in the plug wells, with predictable results. Our extra-long WIRE-BRISTLE BRUSH is the correct size and depth to purge these passages, while the BLOCK-OFF PLUGS replace the spark plugs while the cleaning procedure is being performed (the spark plugs must be removed to allow the brush clearance to pass all the way thru the passage).

The procedure to clean these wells ---- which, by the way, is not mentioned at all in the service manual ---- is as follows:

1) remove the decorative head side cover.
2) remove the spark plug cap/boot…….leave the spark plugs in for now.
3) using compressed air, blow out any debris in the wells.
4) remove the two spark plugs on that “side” of the head you are working on.
5) install the low-profile block-off plugs into the two spark plug holes.
6) use the wire-bristle brush to clean out the drain passage completely. Any debris will be “pushed” into the plug wells (that’s why you need to install the block-off plugs!).
7) using compressed air, blow out any debris in the wells.
8) remove the low-profile block-off plugs, and re-install the spark plugs, plug cap/boot, and decorative side cover.
9) repeat steps 1-8 for the other side.
10) this procedure should be done once every few years or so.


HCP21394 Aftermarket STAINLESS STEEL WIRE-BRISTLE CLEANING BRUSH, perfect size for cleaning out the spark plug well drain passage in the cylinder head of all the built-up gunk and debris. For use on all XJ700-X and XJ750-X engines..

HCP15718 Aftermarket neutral position switch REMOVAL SOCKET. On many models, it's almost a physical impossibility to remove the HCP443 (or the aftermarket version, HCP15671) neutral switch from the crankcase "well" without removing the exhaust system or removing the engine from the frame.....the left lower frame tube conspires with the exhaust system to make it unbelievably difficult to access the switch. This special "open side" socket is the proper size to squirm through those restricted spaces and make it possible to remove and re-install the position switch without going through a tremendous amount of effort. Standard 1/4" drive socket should be used with a 3" extension bar, or, it's even easier to use when attached to the HCP13516 flexible shaft driver listed below. NOTE: this tool will not help you on XJ650 Maxim models with the stock exhaust system, as the crossover pipe is in the way and prevents access of even this tool.
$ 21.95

HCP13516 Aftermarket flexible "spring shaft" 1/4" SOCKET DRIVER TOOL, just the thing to use with the HCP15718 socket above to reach the neutral switch. Large plastic handle with 6" long flexible shaft.

Alternator Tools:

ap7) Aftermarket alternator ROTOR REMOVAL TOOLS, correct copy of the factory Yamaha tool needed to remove the alternator rotor from its mounting shaft (the rotor is a friction fit onto the tapered end of the alternator shaft). Designed to be used in conjunction with the HCP6495 rotor puller tool Attachment Tool listed below. The use of these two tools allows you to safely and properly remove your rotor without damaging either the rotor or the rotor shaft. For all XJ550 thru XJ1100 models.

WIRE ASSEMBLY and SOLDERING TOOLS:

Wire Cutter, Stripper, and Terminal Crimper Tools:

These professional-grade tools put the discount chain-store variety to shame. If you want strong and secure connections when you're done, don't try to save a few dollars on inferior quality tools. There's absolutely nothing more frustrating than have a wire stripper that pulls the wire strands out (along with the insulation) because it's pivot point won't hold a setting, or because the round holes were not cut to the proper depths. And terminal crimper tools that have an incorrect or poor tolerance profile just won't ever crimp tightly enough, and then the wire will pull out of the terminal crimp----no matter how hard you squeeze!

Proper wire terminal installation techniques can be reviewed at:

This crimper is also a ratchet-design that will not release until the die set if fully closed, and thus the crimp is fully completed. For 10-22 gauge wire terminals.
$ 69.95



Terminal Removal Tools:

Once a wire-end terminal is inserted into its connector shell, a small metal "spring-tab" or "tongue" locks the terminal into a recess in the connector shell, thus preventing the terminal and wire from coming back out of the shell. Think of it as the terminal equivalent of the barb on the end of a fish-hook----easy going in, not so easy to get back out......

Of course, if you want or need to extract a terminal from its connector shell....for repair or replacement, for instance.....then you'll find the use of these TERMINAL REMOVAL TOOLS to be greatest thing since sliced bread. Proper width flat spring-steel blades formed into a rising wedge shape allows you to quickly and easily depress the spring-tab "hook" back up and into the terminal, thus "un-locking" the locking tab from the connector shell, and a quicky tug on the wire now releases the terminal from the shell. Works on all small, medium, and wide flat-blade style terminals only! Not for use on the round pin terminals.

Wire Solder and Soldering Guns:

While there is a unbelievably confusing array of solder choices, we've narrowed your choices down to one brand and type that we feel is the best: 3.5% SILVER BEARING, LEAD-FREE, ROSIN-CORE SOLDER. Let's go over those features one at a time:

a) Silver is the best material to use for small-wire electrical soldering, due to both the high-strength of silver and the exceptional electrical conductivity of silver (as opposed to lead solder).

b) Lead is a poisonous substance, and the soldering process has the potential to release lead fumes into the air....and into your eyes and lungs.....and that's just not a good thing, at all.

c) In the old days, solder was "pure" solder (be it lead-based, silver, etc.) and the cleaning flux was a separate material that had to be applied by hand. Modern "solder" is available with a central, internal flux core so that the cleaning and de-oxidizing properties of the flux----which has a lower melting point than the solder itself----is released and performs the cleaning task on the wires and terminals immediately before the solder itself melts and flows. The miracles of modern technology at its best..........

NOTE: never use acid-core solder or an acid-based flux when performing electrical wire soldering!


Of course, you'll want to apply such solder with a professional-quality SOLDER GUN, and since you probably, just like the rest of us, only have two hands, then you'll quickly come to appreciate our super-handy WIRE HOLDER tool that allows you to clamp the wires properly in place before soldering, leaving your hands free for the solder feed and the handling of the gun.

Wire Harness Tape:

Factory wire harness bundles were taped with a black electrically-insulating protective VINYL ELECTRICAL TAPE WRAP to provide both an orderly routing of the main harness wires and for additional wire protection. We have the correct 19mm wide black, high-voltage, adhesive-backed, all-weather stretch tape to allow you to repair or re-tape your harness. NOTE: XJ750 Maxim models that used this hard-shell, plastic ribbed tubing to protect the wire bundles had the hard-shell tubing externally wrapped with this tape.

HCP13134 Aftermarket harness bundle VINYL ELECTRICAL TAPE WRAP, black, 66-foot roll, almost enough to do one complete harness.
$ 16.95



Additionally, most harnesses had a few short turns of COLORED VINYL ELECTRICAL TAPE WRAP to provide visual identification of "what connector goes where?" during harness assembly and installation. Always located just by the connector shell, about 3-4 turns of this tape was used to both tape off any vinyl sleeve and to properly identify what the connector plugged into. Used primarily at the TCI connector (from the pick-up coils) and at the various small "cube" style relays (headlight relays, sidestand safety switch relays, etc.). Since all of these harness connector shells are the same style and type (4-position, horizontally oriented 2-over-2), this small tape wrap served as a way of indicating which of these many identical connectors went to which component.

GAUGES SERVICE TOOLS:

Most original gauges are remarkably reliable and accurate, especially considering they are precise mechanical or electrical instruments that are exposed to the weather constantly. Gauge face fading is a common problem, and unfortunately is not an issue that we have a current solution for.

The other common issue with the main gauges (speedometer and tachometer) is noise or erratic performance:

Q: "While I was riding last Saturday, my speedometer started to make a squealing nose and the needle started to bounce at the 55-60 mph mark. What is the procedure for a cable fix, or do I just replace the whole cable? Or what are my other options?"

A: This type of problem could be caused by the speedo drive hub (on the wheel), the cable, or the speedo head unit.

You can try lubricating the drive cable (remove it from the bike, hold or hang it vertically, use brake clearer to blast all the old gunk out, and then re-lubricate it with motor oil). Once the “cable” is off the bike, then the inner drive cable (the actual drive cable) can usually be slipped out of the outer plastic sheath to make cleaning easier.

While the cable is off, you can test the speedo head itself using an drill with a proper size square drive socket (which will be the same size as the speedo cable squared drive end) and operate the speedo in this manner ---- the drill should be set to run in reverse, as the cable rotates CCW as you are looking at the back of the speedo (from the front of the bike looking backwards). Note that it may be difficult to reach the speedo drive input while the gauges and/or the headlight assembly are still on the bike.

Yamaha speedometers take a 2240:60 ratio to work properly. The 2240 = 60 MPH means that the cable spinning at 2240 rpm’s will read 60MPH. So you’ll need a drill capable of that speed.

If the speedo works properly when testing it in the above manner, then the issue resides with either the speedo cable (which, if not regularly cleaned internally and re-lubricated, will fail after several years) or the drive hub at the wheel. If the problem goes away, then you can move on to further testing of the cable itself. If the problem persists, the the internal mechanism needs servicing.

You can perform the same "drill test" as described above, but with the speedo drive cable connected at the speedo head, and disconnected at the wheel hub......and the far end of the speedo cable itself chucked into the drill (at the wheel hub end) and running the test again.

If the problem goes away, then you need to service or replace the speedo drive hub. If the problem continues, then it’s probably the internal gauge mechanism that needs cleaning or lubrication. This can be a tedious task and no guarantee of success. Here’s a useful guide; although shown on an XJ550 speedo head unit, they are all very similar, although the dis-assembly procedure may differ

Head lubrication:

https://www.xjbikes.com/forums/threads/speedo-and-tach-dissection-with-pics.15303


NOTE: we strongly recommend that you do not remove (nor try to do so) the needle assembly from the gauge unit……it is clocked into a certain position, and removing the needle shaft almost always results in a non-operational gauge upon re-assembly.


For testing cable-driven instruments with a drill (as described above), the following tools may prove to be useful:

HCP29267 Aftermarket SQUARE DRIVE BIT, proper size to fit into the drive housing at the head unit for testing mechanical (cable-driven) speedometers and tachometers. 1/4" shank fits into standard power drill chucks. 2" overall length. On many models, to perform testing with this bit, you may need to remove the cluster from the bike, or remove the headlight bucket from the bike for access to the gauge cluster, and may need to use one of the flexible extension below to reach the back of the instrument.

Oil Pressure Gauge:

The part that Yamaha forgot. In almost all high-performance engine settings, the measurement and knowledge of operating oil pressure is a vital part of operator information. These following kits allow you to monitor the engine oil pressure on a periodic or continuous basis, allowing you to monitor critical internal engine conditions.

These engine OIL PRESSURE MEASURING KITS contains everything you’ll need to take periodic measurements of the engine oil pressure………something that Yamaha never provided a means to do, for some unknown reason(s). Periodically measuring the oil pressure in the your engine can provide clues as to the health of various engine components (not just the oil pump condition, but more importantly, bearing clearances….as excessive bearing clearances will “leak” pressurized oil and reduce oil pressure, thus leading to all sorts of problems). Thus keeping track of oil pressures over time is an important “maintenance” procedure, akin to checking cylinder compression pressure periodically.

This kit contain a specially made main oil gallery plug and a liquid-filled mini oil pressure gauge. The gallery plug replaces the left side factory gallery plug ----- the one directly below the left crankshaft end cover (which was actually called an “oil pump cover" by Yamaha, for some odd reason……). Once installed, you can run the engine and check oil pressures at various engine temps, and record the readings. Although you can leave the gauge installed permanently, we do not recommend this, as it does stick out past the pump cover and you risk damage of epic proportions if anything were to disturb it…….

Each kit comes with block-off plug, so that the gauge assembly can be removed while leaving the gallery plug in place; then, the block-off plug replaces the gauge assembly and creates a leak-proof solution, while leaving the gallery plug in place, ready to re-use (re-installation of the gauge) whenever is necessary.

And although Yamaha does not specify oil pressures for their engines, they do note that the oil pump relief valve is set to open at 64-78 psi, so you can use that as a guide.

Cylinder Compression Gauge:

Yamaha recommends that you perform a compression test every 5,000 miles or so, and that you should record the readings, per cylinder, for future comparison and evaluation. The acceptable readings (specified at sea level) are as follows:

To do a compression test properly, you should first make sure all of your engine valves are properly adjusted to their recommended clearances, as valves that are too "tight" (not enough clearance) will allow the intake or exhaust valve to be open more than is necessary, or at the wrong time within the compression stroke cycle, thus bleeding off compression that would otherwise be developed.

http://www.xjbikes.com/forums/threads/compression-test-xj650.113151

Do not use thread adapters or the like on your pressure gauge, as the added volume of air space within the adapter will reduce the indicated pressure readings.

a) make sure the engine is warm (at operating temperature).

b) remove all spark plugs, and then stick the plugs back into their caps and make sure the plugs are grounded to the cylinder head (or even better, disconnect your TCI unit).

c) remove the airbox filter lid and the air filter.

d) make sure the battery is FULLY charged, and remains so throughout the course of these tests! It is actually recommended that for purposes of compression testing that the TCI be un-plugged and jumper cables to a large capacity battery (i.e. car battery) be used to make sure that the cranking speed remains pretty constant between each reading. Slow or sluggish cranking speeds will reduce the indicated compression pressure. Yamaha specifies their compression pressures at 300 rpms (which is why the battery needs to be in good shape).

e) open the throttle FULLY and keep it open during testing.

f) crank the engine over until the needle stops advancing.

g) Let the starter cool down for a minute or so, then do the next cylinder, etc..

h) If the readings are below spec, then shoot about a teaspoon of motor oil into each cylinder, turn the engine over a few revolutions by hand or with the starter (to spread the oil around), and then re-test each cylinder using the above procedure.

i) compare the two results and analyze.

j) keep all of your figures, and note the date and mileage from your odometer, so you can compare the next time you take readings (every 5,000 miles or so).

NOTE: for readings taken at locations that are above sea level (ASL), the following correction factors should be applied to the readings that your gauge obtains:

- 500' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.013 to get a "true" compression reading.
- 1000' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.029 to get a "true" compression reading.
- 1500' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.042 to get a "true" compression reading.
- 2000' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.060 to get a "true" compression reading.
- 2500' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.072 to get a "true" compression reading.
- 3000' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.093 to get a "true" compression reading.
- 3500' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.103 to get a "true" compression reading.
- 4000' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.126 to get a "true" compression reading.
- 4500' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.136 to get a "true" compression reading.
- 5000' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.160 to get a "true" compression reading.
- 5500' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.172 to get a "true" compression reading.
- 6000' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.196 to get a "true" compression reading.
- 7000' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.233 to get a "true" compression reading.
- 8000' ASL, multiply your readings by 1.272 to get a "true" compression reading.


Also, be aware that barometric pressure differences (during testing events separated by more than just a few hours) will cause changes in indicated compression readings. Atmospheric pressure can vary significantly over time at the same altitude, due to weather systems….you hear this on weather reports, where the forecaster is talking about “High” and “Low” pressure systems. Basically, higher atmospheric pressures translate into higher indicated compression pressures. Although it is rarely of major consequence, in order to be "dead-nuts" accurate you should also record your local barometric pressure at the time of each test. If you measured compression on a day when it was 1030mbar and observed 150psi, and then took a measurement later in the week/month/etc. when the ambient air pressure was only 990mbar, that’s an environmental air pressure difference of about 4%, and assuming nothing else had changed you would then read a 4% less compression pressure of only 144psi......i.e. lower ambient air pressure results in lower compression pressures in your engine.


But don’t overlook the fact that the individual test gauge being used is probably the greatest variable. Some compression gauges are just not very accurate to begin with (basically, and within reason --- and just like with most tools --- the more it costs, the more accurate it will tend to be). Also, try to keep the hose on the gauge you are using as short as possible….the space inside the hose adds to the volume of the cylinder, as lowers the compression ratio a bit, and thus reduces compression pressures.

And in case you are interested, here are the standard compression ratios for the various engines:

XJ550: 9.5-to-1
FJ600: 10.0-to-1
XJ600 Seca II: 10.0-to-1
XJ650 (except Turbo): 9.2-to-1
XJ650 Turbo: 8.2-to-1
XJ700 air-cooled: 9.5-t-1
XJ700-X and XJ750-X water: 11.2-to-1
XJ750 air: 9.2-to-1
XJ900: 9.6-to-1
XJ1100: 9.0-to-1
XS1100 9.2-to-1

Note that the XJ650 Turbo engine has a much lower static CR than all other engines……logically so, since it has a device (the turbocharger!) that raises the atmospheric pressure of the incoming air charge. Also of note is the rather “sky-high” CR of the multi-valve Genesis engines in the water-cooled “X” engines, which is also one of the keys to their vastly increased power output.



Now Analyze This!:

1) If one or all of your cylinders are too low in pressure, it means that:

a) you did the compression test incorrectly

b) the tester gauge is inaccurate, or was not used properly.

c) your engine has piston ring, piston wall, or valve leakage problems.

d) your valve clearances are too tight, and should be adjusted, or the cams are out of time, or aftermarket camshafts have been fitted that have altered the camshaft timing.

e) if a cylinder or cylinders have NO compression at all, that typically means your piston has been catastrophically damaged (i.e. a hole in the piston crown, broken piston, etc.)

f) if a cylinder or cylinders have good compression that rapidly "leaks away" (best determined by the use of a Leakdown Tester gauge as listed further below), this points to burned or otherwise problematic valves.

In order to further analyze a low-compression condition, you should squirt a small amount of engine oil into the suspect cylinders (about a teaspoon), crank the engine over for a few revolutions to spread the oil about, and then re-test those cylinders. NOTE: if cranking the engine over with the starter motor, you should place a rag or similar over the spark plug opening, or the oil you just introduced into the cylinder may spray out forcefully (into your face, onto your engine, all over the place……….!).

g) if the compression pressures RISE by a large amount after the infusion of oil, then this typically means that the pistons, piston rings, or cylinder walls are damaged or worn in some way(s). However, be aware that if you introduced a significant amount of oil into a cylinder (1 teaspoon or more) when conducting this test, a small rise in pressure may occur, and it may instead mean that your valves are the problem, since the introduction of that much oil in a small cylinder will naturally cause the compression to rise.

h) if the compression pressures do NOT rise after the infusion of oil, then this typically means that the valve seats or faces are worn, or a valve is hanging up within its guide, or your valve clearances are way too small (thus keeping a valve open all the time throughout the entire compression stroke).

i) if two adjacent cylinders (cylinders 1 and 2, or cylinders 3 and 4) have low compression, and the oil treatment produces no greater pressures, this points to a damaged cylinder head gasket, warped head, etc.

j) it can be very useful to introduce 20-30 psi of compressed air into the cylinder (thru the spark plug hole) to help identify the source of low compression: the escaping air can pinpoint the source of the leak (air hissing out of the intakes or exhaust points to valve problems, while air escaping thru the crankcase breather indicates ring-seal issues).


Of course, many other situation may cause low cylinder compression, including valves that are out of adjustment (too tight, thus holding a valve slightly open all the time, losing compression), cracked pistons, cylinders, or cylinder heads, but those situations are the not all that common.



2) If one or all of your cylinders are too HIGH in pressure, it means that:

a) you piston domes (tops) and/or the cylinder head combustion chamber have a significant accumulation of carbon upon them, which should be cleaned via some type of chemical treatment or engine dis-assembly and manual removal methods. Note that higher cylinder pressures caused by such build-up may be "masking" or hiding other problems that might cause LOW cylinder pressures, such as worn rings, etc.

b) your engine has been fitted with aftermarket, high-compression pistons, or has had the cylinder head mating surface significantly "shaved".

NOTE: high cylinder pressures are NOT a good thing, as they tend to blow out head gaskets and can cause accelerated piston, piston ring, or bearing wear.


You can also test for piston ring and cylinder wall condition by performing a "leak-down" test, which consists of forcing a measured amount of compressed air into a cylinder, and then seeing how long before this air "leaks" out of the combustion chamber and down into the crankcase (past the ring seal):

NOTE: be aware that some of the ultra low-priced gauges that are typically advertised on eBay, etc. can be quite un-reliable in their readings, and may regularly indicate a false (low) compression reading.

Cylinder Leakdown Gauge:

In addition to a compression test gauge, another important means of determining the condition of the pistons/rings/cylinders is via a PRESSURE LEAKDOWN TESTER GAUGE. The standard compression tests can read maximum compression achieved, and that is all well and good; but equally important is whether that maximum compression pressure can be held by the rings and valves. A special "pressurize and hold" leakdown tester is necessary to perform this type of testing, and is great device to have when diagnosing the true condition of an engine's top end.

Valvetrain Tools:

dd2) Aftermarket camshaft and drive chain CHAIN BREAKER AND RIVETER TOOLS, needed to properly break and rivet a master link onto the replacement chains.

NOTE: most replacement cam chains are sold as an "endless chain", meaning it comes riveted together. In a situation where you have the engine all apart, it can be used as is, because you'll have side access to the gear on the crank. If you will be installing a new chain into an assembled engine, then you will have to break one of the links in order to "drop and drape" the chain over the crank gear.......and thus will also need a new master link in order to put the chain back together again. Almost all OEM chains are” joined” chains (they originally use a removable, rivet-style master link), and when replacing he master link the new link will need to be peened in place (rivet-style master links cannot be re-used).

NOTE: most drive chains are joined together with a rivet-style master link (some chains use a clip-style master link, which requires a different procedure than what is illustrated below). Here are some good instructions on how to properly peen a rivet-style master link. Although the forum thread on the XS650 website shows this procedure being performed on a camshaft chain, the same idea applies to drive chains, too:

Valve Shim Bucket Retaining Tool:

These reproductions of the original shim BUCKET RETAINER TOOL are required when removing or installing valve shims on air-cooled engines. NOTE: these tools are NOT needed to check the valve shim clearance, it is only necessary if you have determined that a shim needs to be changed and you are going to extract the current in-place shim from its bucket.

However, we recommend that you purchase the tool before you even begin the entire valve-clearance checking process, as chances are almost 100% that some - most - all of your valve clearances are out of spec, and to determine which replacement shims you'll need, you'll need to have this tool available to extract the currently installed shims (to check their size, and thus make the determination of what replacement sizes you'll need).

If you "measure clearances" and find that they are out of spec, and only then wait to order this tool, you'll be throwing your efforts behind by a week or so, and you'll be doing twice the amount of work. For the relatively small price of the tool, which you will need (whether now or in the future), it's our recommendation that you have it "at the ready" whenever you go thru the clearance-checking procedure, so you don't have to 2- or 3-step the process.

Valve Shim Feeler Gauge Sets:

v7) Aftermarket valve clearance FEELER GAUGES SETS. These dual offset-blade design with their 90-degree angled ends makes it easy to check the valve clearance on all XJ air-cooled motors. XJ700-X and XJ750-X (water-cooled) engines will require the use of much narrower feeler gauges to check the intake valve clearances on those models.

$ 32.95



We also carry traditional multi-blade feeler gauge sets. Which one should you order? Well, it depends on whether you like your readings to be based in standard-size DECIMAL or METRIC readings (both gauges have the corresponding sizes in their opposite equivalents, but the "round number" readings vary between the two sets). Since these are metric bikes, and the valve shim clearance charts and the shims are denominated in metric, we tend to prefer the metric gauges:


HCP6383 Aftermarket METRIC FEELER GAUGES SET. These gauges will work on all XJ engines including the XJ700-X and XJ750-X water-cooled models, which require narrower blade-tip feeler gauges to check the intake valve clearances on those models. Aftermarket 32-blade metric set has 95mm long blades, hardened and polished, with the thin, tapered ends needed to access the valves on these models. Marked in both metric and decimal equivalents, as listed below. NOTE: these feeler gauges will fit perfectly, although you will have to rotate the blade 90 degrees to the holder for some of the inner valves on X-models. Each:
$ 22.95

Comment: the inclusion of inch measurements AND the inclusion of smaller sizes makes this set ideal for all XJ-bikes and especially for X-models.

X-engines have valve clearances in a range from .004" - .012" (0.11 mm - .30 mm)

Valve Clearance Crankshaft Nut Wrench:

To rotate the engine during valve clearance checks, you'll need the use of a proper sized open-end wrench to engage the special flat-sided nut on the left end of the crankshaft. A box end wrench or socket is not going to work. This is an odd-sized and difficult-to-locate wrench at most hardware or big-box stores.

Valve Face and Seat Reconditioning:

Typically known “lapping”, this is the most effective means of touching up slightly burned valves and seats, to restore like-new performance at minimum expense, and should be done whenever the head is off for service. And even after a valve grinding, a light lapping may be desirable. Modern valve refacing and reseating methods bring sealing surfaces into nearly full contact. However, slight irregularities, caused by vibration of equipment over a long period, make a lapping step the best way to be certain of a perfect job.

The proper spinning-while-grinding action, and the periodic lifting of the valve off the seat, is necessary to allow the abrasive compound to reposition itself uniformly on the valve and seat. After a final cleaning of compound from the valve, we recommend a few turns with oil to lift the remaining compound from the pores of the metal and to allow more accurate clearance adjustments. A well-seated valve, guided centrally and given proper clearance, is almost certain to give long service.

Our valve lapping tools, compounds, and complete kit makes this process easy (well, okay, a little bit “easier”) and will allow you to achieve a professional result.

HCP10181 Aftermarket VALVE SPRING COMPRESSOR TOOL SET, comes with 5 different size adapters to allow use on all XJ-series engines, including the Maxim-X type multi-valve engines. NOTE: although this screw-type compressor tool comes with five different-sized retainer disc "adapters", you may find that none of the specific adapter sizes fits your valve spring retainers "perfectly". However, you merely need to select the size adapter that most closely fits the retainer size on your engine (never bigger, always smaller than the O.D. of the retainer disc) and use that adapter carefully (so it does not "slip" or "walk off" the edge of the retainer disc as you are applying pressure, as you DO NOT under any circumstances want it to "walk-over" the edge of the retainer and then scar the lifter bucket bore!).

Although the OEM sized adapters fit the retainer discs "perfectly" (and therefore do not pose this "walking and potential scarring of the lifter bucket bore" threat), the huge difference in price between the OEM tools listed above and this complete, high-quality compressor tool set makes it worthy of purchasing, as long as you are careful in its use. Our experience shows that the 30mm adapter will fit the retainer discs very well (or exactly on some models) on the 550-1100 engines (except the 700-X and 750-X water-cooled models). The "X" motors will use the 19mm adapter; but it will not fit the retainer perfectly, but is the closest practical size.

Comes in a handy plastic storage case.

These medium-grit, flexible HONES are just what’s needed to apply a proper “clean-up” cross-hatch finish to a set of valve guides. Hundreds of balls of round coarse-grit oxide are attached to flexible twisted-wire shafts, which when chucked into a 3/8” or 1/2” chuck standard drill (or drill press) can be used to break the cylinder wall glaze and eliminate any high spots on the cylinder wall, creating a fresh surface finish that allows rings to seat properly, insuring the highest compression and lowest oil migration. These hones will not remove metal (and are not designed to do so). Proper use requires the application of honing oil and precise control of hone rotation and linear (in-and-out) speed of motion. Just a few passes is all that’s needed , and it’s remarkably easy to use ---- its self-centering action allows you to produce a beautiful and professional guide wall finish even for a first-time user!

NOTE: hones can be attached to a very low speed (less than 100 rpms) drill. ALWAYS KEEP THE HONE MOVING WITHIN THE BORE IF OPERATING WITH A DRILL, AND KEEP THE STONES FULLY LUBRICATED WHEN IN USE!

The use of these hones will greatly increase the success of your engine rebuild, and should be considered a “must-have” tool if your are not having your guides actually bored and/or refinished by a machine shop.

HCP23162 Aftermarket piston ring COMPRESSOR TOOL SET. Special spring-steel compressor “clamps” prevent ring damage during cylinder installation, and are easily removed after the cylinder jugs are in position. Supplied with clamp ring compressor tool and 4 clamping rings (one each of 4 different sizes) which will allow use on all XJ- and XS-series engine sizes. Comes with a storage case. Since the 4-cylinder Yammy motors require placing 2 pistons into the jugs at a time, you will need 2 of these tool kits to accommodate your rebuild. Each tool set:
$ 32.95




Cylinder Hones:

These medium-grit, flexible CYLINDER HONES are just what’s needed to apply a proper “clean-up” cross-hatch finish to a set of cylinders before installation of original or new rings. Hundreds of balls of round coarse-grit oxide are attached to flexible twisted-wire shafts, which when chucked into a 3/8” or 1/2” chuck standard drill (or drill press) can be used to break the cylinder wall glaze and eliminate any high spots on the cylinder wall, creating a fresh surface finish that allows rings to seat properly, insuring the highest compression and lowest oil migration. These hones will not remove metal (and are not designed to do so, nor will they typically remove the top-of-cylinder carbon build-up “ridge”). Proper use requires the application of honing oil and precise control of hone rotation and linear (in-and-out) speed of motion. Just a few passes is all that’s needed , and it’s remarkably easy to use ---- its self-centering action allows you to produce a beautiful and professional cylinder wall finish even for a first-time user!

NOTE: hones can be attached to a very low speed (less than 100 rpms) drill. ALWAYS KEEP THE HONE MOVING WITHIN THE BORE IF OPERATING WITH A DRILL, AND KEEP THE STONES FULLY LUBRICATED WHEN IN USE!

The use of these hones will greatly increase the success of your engine rebuild, and should be considered a “must-have” tool if your are not having your cylinders actually bored and/or refinished by a machine shop.

Each hone includes a sufficient supply of honing oil.

Bearing Clearance Measurement:

As mentioned, bearing oil clearances are critical for engine longevity. Clearances are measured via the use of a thin, crushable plastic “bead” which is positioned between the bearing and the journal, and which is then crushed when the parts are torqued to proper specifications. The parts are then separated, and the width of the crushed plastic strips are compared against a (included) reference chart. This is a simple, accurate, yet very time-consuming task, but it must be done to insure that you engine assembly is done properly!

Here's a good video showing how it's done (starting about 1:30 into the video):

www.youtube.com/watch?v=a5UVtnSbHig


These measurements should be done for all bearing positions on the crankshaft main journals, the crankshaft rod journals, and all camshaft journals.

Thread Taps:

c9) Aftermarket THREAD CHASER AND CLEAN-UP TAPS. The aluminum crankcase can take a severe beating over the years, especially as it concerns their threaded holes. Steel is harder than aluminum, so you know what's going to distort, deform, or strip first…..the threaded bore holes. The following professional quality tool-steel metric cutting taps will allow you to either "clean-up" or re-thread distorted or stripped threads in all metals, soft (aluminum) to hard (steel).


HCP28122 Aftermarket engine components THREAD CHASER TAPS SET. This complete set of 3 taps contains all of the different sizes of threads found on all XJ550, FJ600, FZ600, YX600, and XJ600 engines. Almost all threaded have will exhibit some type of thread wear (distortion) or minor injury that should be repaired. Running thread taps thru all of the threaded holes in the will not only make the re-assembly process easier, smoother, and more secure, but there is a certain satisfaction and surety that comes with having like-new threads that can only be described as “machinist porn” (those of you that know, will know what I mean!). Correct size taps will do the engine case cover holes, valvecover bolt holes, cam bearing caps holes, tach drive housing holes in head, cam chain tensioner holes in jugs, exhaust port stud holes in head, intake manifold holes in head, cam chain tunnel stud holes, crankcase cinching bolt holes, cylinder head stud holes (in upper crankcase), spark plug holes in the head, and many others, Comes with a can of cutting fluid and a t-handle tap holder tool. NOTE: due to the expense of this kit, and the reality that you will use these only once, it is suggested that you use the tool rental option for this tap set. However, under the rental option, if you use the taps for actual thread tapping (cutting brand new threads in a newly drilled hole), then the return option is not allowed!

The tap will properly clean up the remains of the original threads and cuts a new, larger thread at the same time, allowing you to use the oversized drain bolt (HCP29189) listed below. A simple way to salvage a common problem. Tap and oversized bolt will fit drain pans on all XJ550, FJ600, XJ600 Seca II, FZ600, YX600 Radian,XJ700, XJ750, XJ900, XJ1100, and XS1100 models. NOTE: although this tap can be used while the oil pan is still installed on the engine, it is highly recommended that the oil pan removed from the engine before use (to insure alignment, and to be able to flush out any thread chips or swarf created during the re-threading procedure. NOTE: if your drain port is cracked, badly chipped, or missing significant amount of material, this oversized tap may not be able to provide a suitable solution, and another solution (either welding to “rebuild” the hole dimension” or pan replacement will be necessary).

c9a) THREAD CHASER DIES. Unlike the thread taps listed above, these thread DIES are used to clean, restore, and repair threads on the threaded fasteners (screws, bolts, studs, etc.). These tools help restore that like-new feel to used bolts, and straighten and restore threads to allow for proper torque settings to be achieved and maintained. Unlike standard round dies, these dies feature cutting teeth within a standard “hex-nut” shape, so you can use a wrench or socket to hold the die and turn it over the fastener. Just like cleaning / chasing threaded holes with a tap, this task is easy to use, important to do, and when you’re done you’ll be glad you took the time to do the job properly! NOTE: these dies are not used to cut new threads, only to renew threads on non-hardened fasteners! Always lubricate the tool (or fastener) with a light oil or grease when using.

Prevent any of the above situations from happening to you by using one of our anti-seize products when installing your new bolts!


it54) Aftermarket broken stud EXTRACTOR TOOL KIT. Common problem: you snap or shear off the head of a fastener, now what do you do? Prevent these situations from happening to you by using one of our anti-seize products when installing new bolts or studs!



HCP10302 Aftermarket 6mm BROKEN STUD EXTRACTOR......this is the correct size for both the exhaust headpipe studs and the intake manifold bolts in the cylinder head, which are the most common fasteners that you'll need to use these extractor tools on. You simply pound this extractor onto the stud, and then use an open-end wrench to twist it out. As long as you have a bit of the broken stud remaining outside of the cylinder head threaded hole (in other words, the fastener has not broken off "flush"), then this tool is what's going to save your day. Similar in concept to a "ez-out", but these tools have their "biting" surfaces on the inside of a socket-type housing, so that the hardened steel ridges bite into the stud and allow you to extract it. Also works great on screw or bolt heads that have had the drive slot ruined or the bolt head rounded off.
$ 79.95


HCP26979 Aftermarket complete STUD EXTRACTOR and INSTALLATION TOOLS SET. Complete set of 3 different size tools, these are an upgraded version of the “two locking nuts” method of stud extraction or installation, and their small size allows them to work easily in cramped spaces. Note that this type of tool requires that you have decent threads on the end of the stud:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=NNH7u87dhng

This set has the proper sized tools to install and remove exhaust manifold studs, cylinder head and cylinder jug studs, the long cylinder head-to-crankcase studs (all models except XJ700-X and XJ750-X engines), broken intake manifold bolts and many other threaded studs (or headless bolts) on the engine and drivetrain. Contains one each M6 x 1.00 pitch, M8 x 1.25 pitch, and a M10 x 1.25 pitch tool.
$ 39.95


HCP10301 Aftermarket complete STUD EXTRACTOR TOOLS SET. Complete set of 4 different size extractors, and these can be used with ratchet wrenches for ease of removal. These are “roller clutch” type removers that use internally locking rollers to grip and turn the stud. This type tool will damage the threads as part of the removal process, and although it’s possible to use them on broken threads (the smooth shank portion of the stud, even if that is all that is present i.e. the stud or bolt has snapped off and all that remains is the unthreaded portion), they don’t always work all that well on smooth surfaces…..but this also means that the can also be used on dowel pins and some guide collars. Note that these stud removers are much larger is physical size that the HCP26979 tools, which may present problems in restricted areas:

www.youtube.com/watch?v=aE5VnScjRcI

This set has the proper sized tools to remove exhaust manifold studs, broken intake manifold bolts, cylinder head and cylinder jug studs, the long cylinder head-to-crankcase studs (all models except XJ700-X and XJ750-X engines), and most other threaded studs (or headless bolts) on the engine and drivetrain. Contains one each of a 6mm and 8mm extractors (which can be used with 3/8" drive ratchets) and one each of a 10mm and 12mm extractors (which can be used with 1/2" drive ratchets). You simply pound the extractor onto the stud, and then use an appropriate sized ratchet wrench to twist it out. Comes in a molded storage case.

c9a) THREAD CHASER TAPS and DIES. Over time, rust and it seizure effects can cause fastener threads to become pitted and result in sloppy fits and un-reliable torque readings……besides making assembly and dis-assembly a pain in the tailpipe and risky. Out line of THREAD CHASING TAPS (for threaded holes) and CHASER DIES (fot the bolt or screw fasteners) are used to clean, restore, and repair threads on the such items. These tools help restore that like-new feel to used fasteners and their accepting holes, and will straighten and restore threads to allow for proper torque settings to be achieved and maintained.

Taps can be manipulated with a proper sized wrench on the square shank of the tap, or for more secure result, use our HCP28170 TAP HANDLE, featuring offset handles and fully adjustable head for all m3-m12 size taps. This is the proper way to hold a tap or extractor to insure that the force is directed straight down and doesn’t “wobble” as you are cutting, reaming, or extracting. Much better than using pliers or vise-grips to hold the tool……..

And unlike standard round dies, ours feature cutting teeth within a standard “hex-nut” shape, so you can use a wrench or socket to hold the die and turn it over the fastener. Just like cleaning / chasing threaded holes with a tap, this task is easy to do, and when you’re done you’ll be glad you took the time to do the job properly!

Always lubricate the tap or die tool (or fastener) with a light oil or grease during use, or use one of our specialty THREAD CUTTING FLUIDS listed further below.

The following professional quality tool-steel metric cutting taps and dies will allow you to either "clean-up" or re-thread distorted or stripped threads in all metals, soft (aluminum) to hard (steel), and are a great addition to your toolbox.

Fork Tube Oil Level Gauges:

HCP1728 Fork tube oil fluid level measurement GAUGE AND SYRINGE. This handy tool makes the measurement of the fork oil level easy and accurate. NOTE: the proper amount of fork oil is determined via the measurement of the fork oil LEVEL (distance below the very top of the inner tube) rather than a volume AMOUNT of oil specification. Too little oil will make the ride mushy, while too much oil makes the ride harsh (and can blow out the oil seals!)
$ 37.95



ffl4) Aftermarket fork oil measurement GRADUATED CYLINDERS. The best way to measure the precise amount of fork oil fluid is via the use of these lab-quality measurement cylinders. Available in either transparent (clear) or translucent (cloudy) durable plastic construction, they all have easy-to-read scale numerals (milliliters) and feature a "non-wetting" inner surface coating that prevents the concave "meniscus" from forming at the top of the fluid, thus insuring a much more accurate level reading. Large bases insure stability while large spouts make "the pour" easy and prevent messy drips. Very useful device to have for front fork oil changes.

HCP9108 Aftermarket air-assisted forks LOW PRESSURE AIR GAUGE, heavy-duty 0-20 psi pencil (stick) pressure gauge marked in 1/2-psi increments, perfect for checking fork air pressures on models so equipped. Very high quality and much more accurate than standard tire pressure gauges, which is very important on the fork pressures as an imbalance between the fork pressure can lead to steering and stability issues, while too much pressure will blow out the lower tube oil seals!
$ 7.95



Steering Head & Shock Adjuster Tools:

HCP1692 Aftermarket steering head tube BEARING RACE REMOVAL TOOL. This very high quality, split flared-shaft bearing race removal device grasps the edges of the bearing races at four positions and pops them out with ease. Makes a sometimes very frustrating task simple.

Very high quality, versatile tool to have in your box.
$ 39.95

HCP28446 Aftermarket steering stem ring nut and shock absorber ADJUSTER SOCKET, heavy-duty aluminum seep-well spanner socket (1/2” drive) makes tightening and proper torqueing of the upper ring nut a breeze (since this is a socket, rather than a "flat wrench", you can attach it to your torque wrench). Works with all XJ-series bike steering stem ring nuts, and probably many other makes/models as well. This is similar to the Motion Pro # 08-0570 spanner nut socket, but it is deep enough to be used on XJ models (since the steering stem protrudes a much greater distance than what the MP tool is designed to be used with). Very high quality, versatile tool to have in your box. This tool is available for rental.
$ 69.95

HCP8041 Aftermarket steering stem Ring Nut ADJUSTER WRENCH, special tanged wrench properly grabs the castellations in the ring nuts and holds firm, preventing the rounding-off of the ring nut when trying to loosen or install them using incorrect tools (such as channel lock pliers). Adjusts to a wide range of sizes to fit most bikes. A professional grade tool.

Wheel Bearing Service Tools:

Sold individually or as a complete shop set, these 'split-collar" SPLIT-COLLAR BEARING PULLERS AND DRIFT TOOLS make removing wheel bearings a pleasure rather than a chore! No more trying to find the proper size and length drift rod and then clumsily using it inside a long, blind tool.........that's just "too" old-skool. These pullers are simply placed within the bearing shaft hole, the drift rod is entered into the split collar slot, you give the rod a good whack with a hammer, and out she comes! Turns a pain-in-the-butt procedure into a 1-minute operation. NOTE: since these pullers work by "grabbing" onto the inner bearing race, once they are used to remove a bearing, the bearing is no longer re-usable.

Wheel Service Tools:

HCP12960 Aftermarket wheel ROLL STAND. This nifty little device is specially designed for people who do not have a centerstand, as it allows the wheel/tire unit to be rotated as if the rear wheel was off of the ground.......even though it's not, as the tire is setting on this small square "stand" that has free-spinning rollers front and back (sort of like a chassis dyno). So you can roll the rear wheel into this "stand", but the bike on the side stand, and rotate the wheel/tire unit for chain maintenance (550 models) or other such activities. NOTE: not designed for operating the rear wheel under engine load!
$ 89.95




Tire Mounting Tools:

Here's a variety of tools to make the chore of tire dis-mounting and mounting of your tires just a wee bit easier (and much less expensive than having a dealership perform these tasks!).


HCP12959 Aftermarket portable TIRE CHANGING STAND. Looks like a small, short stool, and allows you to lay the wheel (with brake rotors or rear sprocket still installed) onto the stand, getting it up off the ground, and holds the wheel securely-----allowing you to lever the tire onto or off of the rim easily (without having to fight a moving wheel). Can be used on all XJ-series wheels.

HCP1753 Aftermarket tire BEAD POPPER, this molded plastic wedge, when firmly whacked with a mallet or hammer, gently "pops" stuck tire beads away from the inner rim flange without risking damage to the wheel rim in this critical area.
$ 29.95

HCP1754 Aftermarket tire BEAD SETTER. This large, tough molded rubber donut "o-ring", when placed between one lip of the tire and the rim, allows a tire to be inflated and the beads set "automatically" (instead of having to struggle trying to hold both tire beads against the rim). As soon as the opposite bead sets against the rim, the rising air pressure forces this bead setter out from the other side, thus seating the beads easily, quickly, and with a minimum of effort. For 16" wheels as used on the rear of all XJ550 Maxim, XJ650 Maxim, XJ750 Maxim, and XJ1100 models.
