Excellent day. That "everything syncing thing" did it sound like a pack of ball-bearings spinning.shaking around in a steel can at a millions mile per hour? Or...
Will somebody tell me what XJ-Bikes were liquid-cooled? I met a nice fellow who has a water-cooled XJ-Bike and I'm trying to figure-out which bike he has??? ...
XJ700/750 in both standard and Maxim X (5 valve) guise. Denis Fitzgerald Mustang Bombays - The Patent Leather Kids http://home.comcast.net/~p51bombay/index.htm...
... RickCoMatic, It's quite simple: 1985 & 1986 Maxim X's. Yamaha also made an air cooled version during the same two years WITHOUT the five valve per cylinder...
Yes, in the US an '85 is XJ700X and an '86 is XJ700XS ... -- Dave Rea Coopersburg, PA '85 XJ700N (original owner) '86' XJ700S (daily rider) '74 CB360 (my first...
Seems like that if anyone's carb diaphragms need replacement there are a few places around that will do it, for a price. Still, a few hundred dollars is still...
Ken, Just caught up with this post of yours. Don't know about the new XJ Diversions but the older ones had really soft suspension on the front forks. Like...
OK Karl, explain the "less dive" bit. You are riding along, with or without spacers. The spring is compressed enough to push back the weight on it, so it is...
If what you say is true ... then, how do we account for manufacturer adjustable preloads found on a great many model motorbikes? I had them on my '79 XS650...
Ken, To me it works the same as the spring tension settings on the rear shocks. At the lowest setting the spring has longer travel and when you hit a bump its...
I guess they are there to set the 'bottom out' limit. If you were really light, and the adjustment was wound in to heaps of spacing, mebbe when you get on the...
The answer to my argument lies in the "spring is more under pressure and will have less compression when it hits a bump". Only true if the spring is on the end...
I've got a question about the acceleration on the XJ 900. When I'm on it hard it seems like there is a delay going fully into the next gear. I would describe...
Springs have a rate meaning a certain amount of compression equals a certain amount of force stored in the spring. At rest the two opposing forces are in...
One of our very own home grown characters, Steve Irwin, passed away yesterday in a freak accident with a Stingray. His enthusiasm and perseverance was a model...
There are several ways to look at it. Use a bow for example. If you have a bow at half-pull, no matter how hard you yank on it, the distance it travels is...
I think it would be way too dangerous to put a little kid on the handlebars just to have a little bit better ride. The way I ride ... I couldn't handle the...

Hi, Well, I got screwed by a seller that I paid through PayPal. He sent the wrong part (side cover) that was clearly marked by the manufacturer on the back of...
If you used your credit card through Paypal, maybe you can still dispute though them. Print out copies of the auction and dispute it with your credit card...
I don't believe I have a leg to stand on with the credit card company because of the agreement with PayPal that I inadvertently agreed to by signing up with...
Bruce, A picture is worth a thousand words and it sounds like you were duped, but don't knock PayPal just yet. Try opening that PayPal Item Dispute again…it...
They've always resolved things quickly for me. Plus PayPal's main office is here in Omaha. If they don't fix it, I can go kick their butt! :) ... Comodo...
Hi Dave, I will be pursuing this with the credit card company, with PayPal, with the local Attorney General's office Consumer Protection and the BBB. However,...
