  1. Hello Yamaha members, have to admit that this marque is new to me although I love older bikes. Had two Honda superdreams that fell apart under me, then happened onto a beautiful K100LT. Must say so far my all time favourite is my old R65. Its not fast but gets you there at a good steady speed. The XJ 900 F is a real surprise, solid for one thing and surprisingly agile, but the lights have stopped working and need to find a solution ready for bike weather. Here in France there 's no MOT test here as you all probably know but bikes get stopped regularly by the boys in blue for a look see! Were located were the best wine is made. Cheers....from freelancewriter!
  2. Freelancewriter here from France and Hello. It is almost as wet here but hopefully bike weather on the way! I have a secondhand XJ 900 F, 1986 very tidy but been stood a while. I've fixed indicators that had broken wires but stumped at present with no lights! Brake lights work Ok and Horn; but need a bit of advice on what could be stopping the main lights working, please. Wiring in headlight is tidy and un molested, sorted what goes where but all signs look like a switch problem? Anyone any XJ900 light wiring experience please? Thanks
