Rowland Posted February 5, 2005 Share Posted February 5, 2005 I've just found this forum, having just bought an elderly XJ 550 which appears to be in excellent condition. Can anyone help however with the following? 1. Where is the nearest Yamaha dealer to Southampton? 2. Are spares easy/difficult? 3. I have been given an address of a company in Cornwall is this the place to go? 4. Who is the acknowledged "after market" spares provider? 5. Is there a club mag or any other literature? Sorry that this lot sounds a bit boring, by the way the bike is 81 or 82. Thanks Rowland Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderator YamaHead Posted February 5, 2005 Moderator Share Posted February 5, 2005 to the Forum Rowland. Me being a Bleedin' Yank, I don't know how much help I can be with sources in your area ........BUT, I am a true advocate for the XJ series ... ...Rode this 550 for over 13 years.....Daily..... & have been Daily flogging my 750 Maxim for the last 4+ years ...... There's all sorts of aftermarket goodies out there for these Old Nails......& the maintenance on XJ's doesn't get much easier. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
