I bought a R6 fuel pump and now its running - happy days, now onto the other stuff that needs doing.. in the mean time im on a XJ750 maxim...

Thanks Mate - was this for the maxim or the seca, apparently they are different as mines a maxim cheers rob

Hello all, i'm after a XJ750 maxim seat cover, the only place if can find one is in the states and its going to cost a fortune.. otherwise i have found someone local who can make one up for £100 which is also too much.. does anyone know where i might be able to get hold of one? thanks all

Hello all, wonder if someone can help me - my big fingers have broken the taco needle on a xj750 1982 and i wonder if anyone knows where i can lay my hands on another? any ideas will be welcome..

It started.. for a bit then the fuel pump died.. bugger! Anyone got a thundercat or an R6 old style fuel pump going cheap?

Be nice to think that this bike has some exotic history, do you know how i might find out.. or should i leave it to my imagination that this was used in the James bond film and will make my fortune?

the carbs are back with the chap now, I had a closer look and the pipe that goes down into the bowl was blocked, so i cleaned them out with a guitar string and have asked if he can clean the ducts in the bowl out and the chokes.. fingers crossed he does it. So now i've started to strip it down for polishing and painting - some say you cant polish a turd, but i'm gunna have a go!

turns out the bloke who did the carbs didn't take the fuel bowls out and clean the float valve, so when i pulled it all apart, it was covered in sludge. Anyway, put it all back together and it still wouldn't start. Squirted some carb cleaner down the intake and boom - into life ! So something wrong with the starter mixture i reccon, apparently he set the pilot screw to 1.5 turns, but i suspect hes not done it right? Anyway - be asking for some of my money back tomorrow as he's not done the job that i asked for... While im at it, is wemoto the best place to pick up standard parts like clutch cables etc? cheers all

Thanks for the welcome, its still got the turbo, its on the other side, ive thought of 2 things for it.. a full restore or a cafe, the 750 tank and seat should fit.. but first to get it running right, ive just had the carbs cleaned locally but there is no fuel coming out the middle bowls, so they need to come off... So what happened to the motorcycle collection, I suspect this was at the back to not frighten people off

Hello all, i've had quite a few bikes in the past but none supposes this one for the most ugly bike in the world.. The bike does have some history that im trying to find out about - belonging to The Combe Martin Motorcycle Collection at some point in its life – anyone heard of this place? Here it is after i got it home Ive stripped the plastic down to see what the condition is and started looking at starting it.. I've now had it over a year - much to my misses annoyance, i'll be starting a thread for the restoration... hello - i hope i enjoy this ride??

you dont have the carbs for sale do you?

Apparently a R6 (old style out of tank) pump will fit, have a look at Jeff's posts on XJBikes thats what he's used
