Matthew Duncan Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 so, my xj600n is back out the garage and ready for its MOT this weekend, few things i noticed were that there is a slight knocking noise coming from the bike when idle, was on yourtube and it sounds like it the norm for these bikes? also, in exitment to get out for a spin i put 2 stoke into it . . .(thanks to my old man not correcly labaling the fuel cans) after i noticed i emptied what was left of the tank, and filled with fresh fuel, but its still smoking like a chimney. is there anything i should do prior to my next trip on it? e.g. sparkplugs fuel filter ect? thanks! Matt
blackhat250 Posted February 12, 2013 Posted February 12, 2013 It will clear matt, no harm done,,, when was last service,,, change oil if it was start of last season,,
Matthew Duncan Posted February 13, 2013 Author Posted February 13, 2013 thank god! haha last oil chang was oil and filter about 300 miles ago . .
trumpetdude Posted February 27, 2013 Posted February 27, 2013 Oil should be fine. Just check level etc, probably needs a dam new good run. I've had a noisy tappet for the past 3000 miles and a rattley tensioner since owning the bike. You should be fine, they're pretty bullet proof. If you're really concerned run some redex through the tank, it'll help clean the system out.
