Posted June 1, 200915 yr Hi all, Ive just got my sticky paws on an old '81 XJ550. Not too bad but runs a bit lumpy and there are the inherant clutch noises and the odd oil leak, as you would expect from a bike this age. Im hoping to rebuild her as soon as I can, and modify her in a few ways, prob streetfighter her a bit. I thought I would join this forum as it looks a good place for info, and maybe even sourcing parts. Thanks for having me !
