  1. you mean like the SheWee?
  2. Mines a 1989, got 37k on the clock, does 120mph and it's unique, not seen another one in the 1000 miles I've been riding it. Plus It's cheap as chips to repair, does 90 miles on £10 of fuel and makes women smile at me... Kinda makes me look like Maverick from top gun...
  3. She wouldn't... She's a good girl at heart... It's lies, all lies!
  4. that would be so awesome, could get a load of those in one of our empty hangars, some bangin' tunes, some booze and glowsticks... would be an awesome rave
  5. wouldnt be clutch rattle, deffo coming from the head on the front just above the exhaust manifold, (which i assume is the outlet cam/valves)
  6. Wouldn't be the chain, the bile does it when it's at a standstill aswell
  7. Hey peeps Been riding the XJ for a few weeks now and I'm happy with it, however, I've noticed when pulling away under load it taps or clicks, however when decelerating it doesn't tap. Is there a known cause for this and is there anything I can do apart from stripping and rebuilding the engine to fix it? -Steve
  8. actually it does look something like that, only theres nettles growing up between the swingarm, exhaust and back wheel, lol still an awesome pic though
  9. sorry to drag up an old thread... would it be possible to use JUST the silver fescalised portion (RAF terminology there, lol), running inside the original jawa stanchions?, that would save me so much work and also keep the jawa looking original

    they are now amongst us... trust nobody... not sure what they would have said if they pulled me over with my mates 18th birthday pressie on the back (it was an inflatable doll, got some funny looks going through town...)
  14. 1: Track down the DT and buy it back, whatever the cost... 2: Rebuild the XJ, that tap in the top end is getting f*cking annoying... 3: Worldwide party 4: ...? 5: Profit

    Dont say things like that drewp, i still miss it badly , not even the XJ can satisfy me as much as the DT did...
  16. I find your spitefull comments hurtfull... besides, the jawa hasnt been started since... february?... its currently under a tree at the bottom of my dads garden getting lower and lower into the grass, headlight smashed, covered in cobwebs with various critters living amongst its nooks and crannies...
  17. how much you after for the XJ and are you anywhere near reading/oxford?

    what an xmas pressie... sure would be nice to find my old DT under the tree in late december...
  19. disregard, with creative use of a multimeter i found the outlet and the 3 phases from the alternator. all is now well
  20. hey everyone new reg-rec has arrived for the XJ, but i binned the plug because it was melted, now i need to know which wires go to which plug on the regulator so i can wire it up again as the socket is built in on this new regulator. could somebody please take a photo of the plug on the bikes wiring going to the regulator/rectifier unit and post it up here so i can see which cables are what? cheers Steve
  21. CBX V12, thats juicy... , i thought my old mans straight 6 honda CBX was awesome
  22. roflcopter
  23. get your voltmeter out and start tracing the loom back from the battery, do a continuity test on the main fuse just to check it hasnt blown, sometimes they can look fine but infact be broken (multimeter set to ohms measuring across the fuse, if it shows an open line then the use is f*cked
  24. £27 equates to about 25 pints of beer in the squadron bar on base, and women like beer
