Hello there,
I've been reading this forum for a while now and finally decided to start my own project thread.
I bought a reasonably priced XJ 600.
Facts about the bike:
- a runner requires only valve adjustment and a little carb cleaning.
- one of the exhaust manifold gaskets is dead and it causes a clicking noise (I hope that's the case)
- front caliper is likely to be seized (only one)
- rear shock is dead seized, the linkage is even worse
- front fork legs are mismatched (I think)
- and that's it , I rode it back home.
My plan is to transform it into a daily commuter cafe racer. I'll upload some pics as soon as I figure out how to do it.
