wild foamy

got some crash bars coming already

mainly because im looking for a bit more comfort on the XJ, im only 5'7 but i still have to get hunkered over the tank to get out of the wind (having said that i have been riding it flat out most of the time, 120mph w00t), not really something i want to be doing for hours on end on the motorway, that screen looks like it will offer a bit more protection, although it says standard so may have to ring them up and check

gross... :/, you know i aint into that shit...

Hi everyone. just been looking for a bigger screen for my XJ600, came across this and wondered if it will fit: http://www.motorcycleheaven.co.uk/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=2110_190_522_554&products_id=1370 also, am i right in thinking that my 1989 XJ600 (pre diversion) is also known as an XJ600F? as always, any help will be rewarded with hobnobs -Steve

i think you will find im the one who left it, drewp...

Trade for a Jawa?

i suppose i should get a pooch, with Goff going i will have no outlet for my affection

i see you found my note then

awh its a DT! ^^ will always have a soft spot for those bikes, even if it isnt a 50 :/.

swish , you may wake up sometime next summer with a foamy asleep on your front lawn, lol

someone please explain?... O.O

its a good shape of bike, slightly retro styling . got my eye on a set of engine crash bars, maybe modify them for some more weather protection for my little feets.

that looks absolutely awesome ... i want a go!

pats back garden? O.o, wassat? and if that little rack is all thats needed i can probably fizz something together out of bar stock and tube, i cant afford £66!

im feeling blackpool 'luminations mid-october for a weekend, then ROI next summer having looked at that carrier, it doesnt have any support for the panniers :/, i used to have a wickle pedal bike with panniers on it and they had framework they clipped onto :/

if it is doing 45 as standard, no doubt it has already been modified, mine was stock when i got it apart from an exhaust system and that did 35. but with a 60cc bore kit, fibre reeds, biggest front sprocket i could find, smallest rear socket i could find, cone air filter and just about anything else i could find for it, i got 55 out of mine maximum speed, trouble was being only a five speed it would be revving its bollocks off and overheat if you took it about 40mph for more than about 5 minutes. dont fuck with it, thats about as fast as it will ever be, keep it in good condition until your old enough for a big bike, then sell me the DT oh, and if i didnt say before, dont fuck with it

hi everyone. just wondering, how/what do i need to mount a set of panniers on an XJ600? im assuming i need some sort of rack?, if so can i fabricate it/where can i buy one? -Steve

ROFLCHOPTER!

the spark most definately shouldnt be covered in oil :S. go back to using the metered (automatic) oil pump, atleast that way you know there cant be any problems with fuel/oil mixture. only other thing i could think of is oil getting past the piston rings and into the combustion chamber, but you'd see that as smoke from the exhaust, try leaning the mixture out a little and see if that helps it, black spark plug = running rich, the oily residue is confusing though...

erm, no. slight problem there... that tax disc is from 02 07 those pics were taken before (1st one was at a services en route) the bikes first MOT which it failed, it now has an MOT with only an advisory for corroded brake discs, and considering it has been stood for nearly 2 years in total im not surprised. however, im on leave from the RAF for a week, and ive left all my vehicle documents in my room on base, so i havent got a reference number with which to tax it couple of slight problems, noticed it was rattling whilst i was taking it for its MOT, no idea if thats the cam chain or something, and im getting some high frequency vibration throughout the rev range, makes my hands and feet go tingly, is it fuck or a common fault?

GOFF?! O.o... that you?... holy shit, its just like that dream i had...

cheers Yamagod, dont s'pose youve got a manual kicking around for a '89 XJ?, imparticular an exploded view of the engine and gearbox with part numbers. -Steve

DTs dont leak oil anyway. they just mark their territory shouldnt need to touch the carb settings aslong as you havent changed to any performance/upgraded parts, take the carb back to factory settings and start again if your still having trouble

plug chop, check your mixture.
