Hi Folks does anybody know if the front brake callipers off a divy will fit a pre divy?

Hi all first off let me remind you of who i am. I left a post a wee while back asking for advice on riding a shaft bike as i had never done so. Well the advice was great and i have just had my first ride on my 1991 XJ900F and boy am i a happy man. I only went about 80miles and the bike was flawles up the gears down the gears accelerating and brakeing. And the comfort i have never rode a bike that was that comfortable. Any way got to go and try to wipe the smile off my face or the wife will be thinking i am having an affair. Thanks again for the advice and good luck to all of you's.

First thing first i would like to wish EVERYONE a Merry Xmas and a Good Safe new year. Now on with my question i have a 91 XJ900F wich i have never ridden and i have heard from friends that riding a shaft drive is totaly different to a normal bike. Some say dont change down to quickly and give it a rev when i do others say dont be to quick with the clutch. I need to know what the score is bearing in mind i have been riding for 10yrs. now so i am not a bike virgin just a shaft one? but have just got over a broken leg and ankle so i dont want to lock the bike up as i have been told that it can happen. Thanks in advance for a help and keep the rubber down and youselves up.

Thanks for the replys i will let you know how i get on. Also any one know where i can buy parts for it

Ihave only run the bike in the yard and it has been sitting for near two and a half years

Hi all just baught a 1991 xj900f nice and cheap 45000 miles but i have noticed the plugs are very sooty and a friend told me it was because of dead petrol. It runs fine the odd splutter but i was wondering can petrol go of and if not what else could be the problem?. In advance thanks for the advise.
