The Bar

Hi new to the site - I have just purchased a Yamaha XJ900f on a 93 plate as a project bike; I need some help with sorting the engine - its been painted black & gold and looks a real mess! so I have been considering my options 1/ strip it down and get it Auqa Blasted removing the paint or 2/ buy a replacement engine - I found a really nice XJ900 Diversion 1999 but was wondering if it would fit the XJ900F Frame

HI MY BIKE IS DEAD VERY WEAK SPARK I HAVE CHECKED THE COILS AND THE PICK UP COILS ALL SEEM TO BE OK DOES ANYONE KNOW WHERE I CAN GET A CDI / TCI UNIT I ALSO FITTED A NEW BATTERY . THANK YOU FOR YOUR TIME

Folks stupid question maybe but ive just picked up an xj900f and when looking for an oil change kit with filter/s the website is asking to make sure if you have one oil filter or two any ideas anyone (Haynes is on its way) cheers Mo

Having just shoved a load of exhaust putty in the hole of my 1990 XJ900F I thought I'd treat the old girl to a shiny new system. Easy me thinks Motad 4:1 quick order, await parts, get out spanners, job done. Motad gone bust . Any recommendations for a compatible system or just silencer would be much appreciated.

Hi all, looking for some help..... I got an 84 xj900f that don't spark. Got wiring diagram which is kind of helpfull but doesn't show which is spark no1 2 3 or 4. is 1 on the left as you look down from riders position or on right? Also should the red/white wires be at front of coil or back? thanks.

My K Reg. Pre-Divvy XJ900F has fallen prey to the dreaded Petrol Tank Tinworm. Bugger! I have tried all of the Snakeoil "Sloshit about-lard it on" remedies, and have had to admit defeat. Scraped it all off and am horrified at the state of it. Asked a quote from Tank Re-Nu in Hartlepool ( Allegedly foolproof solution) £150 plus VAT. Than I'd have to get it painted! Does anybody have a better cure. Good, sound second hand ones are like odourless skunks- rare indeed. I am in Aberdeen. HELP !!! Blue2

Hi all, I'm still very much of a newby here and still finding my way round ... so forgive if this is posted in the wrong place ... I have a 91 XJ900F and the rear shockers are pooped... so need to find some replacements. Does anyone know if shox from any other bike will fit? Just been offered a set of used 330mm Hagons at a very attractive price .. these are longer than stock ... will they fit? Will raising the back totally wreck the handling or help it? If these are no good, can you suggest anything else .... I'm on a tight budget ... so nothing exotic please Your knowledge and help would be appreciated... Fanks, shakey

whats the best tyres for a xj900f cheers mdg

Hi all can anybody tell me if the Alternator on my 1999 XJ900s has a rubber shock type drive or is it direct ? as it seems to be rattling a bit on tick over, and I can not find any comment about it in the manual. Keith

Hi all, has anybody got a right hand yamaha muffler for a 1999 xj900s diversion in good nick they would like to sell by any chance. Keith

This bike has me completely stuck sometimes. I love her, but trying to find parts to fit is extremely time consuming. I had to replace the front forks and wheel after a slight 'accident' and have eventually got it back on the road. The forks were slightly annoying to source but manageable. Then I got a wheel through ebay that fitted perfectally until it was being fitted and it was found that the bearings were the wrong size and apparently impossible to buy! However, now one of my back shocks have blown and realise the other will more than likely go soon and want to find some new ones as soon as humanly possible. Does anyone know of any shocks from ano…

Hello, Does anyone know where i can get a Belly Pan for my 1995 J-Spec XJR-400?

Hi folks first time on forum, Quick question just bought 2000 xjr 1300 and gear selection is a bit ropey, sometimes wont select next gear up or down first time needs two touches, is this a quirk or is it selector or summit else any thoughts before i put into garage.just came from virago so learned that all clunks and clangs is not a malfunction it is bike quirk cheers sooty

Hi everyone, This might be a delicate question, since this is the Yamaha realm, but any reply to this question would be highly appreciated. I currently still live in the States and plan to move back to Austria by summer. (Can't wait to be in Europe again...) Since I've been riding a ZRX over the last years (as you probably know, no other naked muscles are available here), there's no question that I'll stay in this class of bikes. I can't wait to upgrade once I'm back home! I've been researching online like a madman, and it's absolutely clear that it'll only be a xjr or a gsx. They seem equaly awesome, but both also have a downside... The gsx is out of pro…

T'WAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS, HE LIVED ALL ALONE, IN A ONE BEDROOM HOUSE, MADE OF PLASTER AND STONE. I HAD COME DOWN THE CHIMNEY, WITH PRESENTS TO GIVE, AND TO SEE JUST WHO, IN THIS HOME, DID LIVE. I LOOKED ALL ABOUT, A STRANGE SIGHT I DID SEE, NO TINSEL, NO PRESENTS, NOT EVEN A TREE. NO STOCKING BY MANTLE, JUST BOOTS FILLED WITH SAND, ON THE WALL HUNG PICTURES, OF FAR DISTANT LANDS. WITH MEDALS AND BADGES, AWARDS OF ALL KINDS, A SOBER THOUGHT, CAME THROUGH MY MIND. FOR THIS HOUSE WAS DIFFERENT, IT WAS DARK AND DREARY, I FOUND THE HOME OF A SOLDIER, ONCE I COULD SEE CLEARLY. THE SOLDIE…

Fuck you all. And your spermguzzling Yamahas. Goddam punkass cocksuckers! And I hope that POS Moseley faggot goes elsewhere for his rectum stretching next year.

That's mine sorted for this year 😂

Hello new here and if possible I would like your thoughts on the xmax 125 scooter, as I may be getting one of these next week if my girlfriend has anything to do with it. Since last thursday (19th) the funds have been available for a new/secondhand 125 scooter, and my girlfriend is taken with the xmax/xmax sport. My questions are this, there is not much difference that I can see between them bar for a back rest and smaller screen, plus the fact that the sport is a couple of hundred pound dearer. Am I correct or just looking for reasons to pick? Secondly and more important is reliability I really want to know that if I get one that it will last, as I need it for the com…

Hi My local dealer replaced the pads on my YPR250. Now they've worn down a bit they constantly rattle. I've had a look and the shims are there and the retaining brackets. Has anyone experienced similar and what resolved it? Many thanks Weejockie.

Hi all I got a question about slip on mufflers, the bike is a xmax 2012 125 would I have to change rollers air/fuel mix or jets if I put a slip on muffler on or do you only do that for a full exhaust system change, not wanting to make the bike faster just like the look of some of the mufflers you can get, any thoughts Thanks all Chris
