Posted April 6, 200816 yr okay after much wailing and gnashing of teeth, i finallly got on board... have owned an 81 XJ Maxim 550 since 1992, bought 4th hand in oklahoma. i was in the Air Force at the time. it got put away in 1995 and left in the back of the garage until last summer. i had the carbs rebuilt and spent about 40 hours cleaning, de-greasing, waxing and polishing every little bit on that bike. it started right up after the carbs went on but i had tuning issues. then it wouldnt start at all. its currently up and running like a new bike but im waiting on some fork seals. its currently got a tick less than 12,000 miles (19,200kM for you metric folk)... 2 weeks ago i picked up an 82 XJ Seca 750 with 17,300 miles. it runs like a top and ive had a good time scooting thru the neighborhood and around the country side...
