peterb1951 Posted August 30, 2012 Share Posted August 30, 2012 Yes I have one, its a 1989 model, just put new carb mounting rubbers on it and balanced the carbs but its still got problems and my fork seals need replacing, clutch was acting up but its a bit better now, watching a XJ900 now for a bigger grin factor lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Campaman Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 I used to have one when they first came out, mine was basically all white apart from the red and blue stripes, yours is also missing the belly pan that mine came with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iandouglas Posted August 31, 2012 Share Posted August 31, 2012 This is me Bender, made a bit of a mess logging a couple of different usernames over time - so glad to get a reply. Professional Peter, hope you get your XJ600 sorted matey, this one seems to be reasonably well looked after, a few issues but not enough to stop me taking off to Bournemouth tomorrow. Yes the XJ 900 (pre-diversion?) is nice but too heavy for me and they won't do 58 mpg unfortunately. remember a trip to Billingham, there was a night club, La Ronde ??? Can't recall, saw some poor chap being hurled down the (circular?) stairs by bouncers, this was back in the early 70's. Campaman - oh I wish you had kept it, we could have started an owners group. . - the belly pan was removed to fix the engine bars I think. Love dogs too, Lurchers are the ones for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

arnehulstein Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Just picked one up last Monday. Not as original as yours as a previous owner decided to spray paint it in matte black. But they did do a half decent job, so I will leave it like that for the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
