Re: YC's got a new bike
Yay, another XJ owner on the SV forum!
My XJ400 that blew up is now a very light and easy to manage frame and wheelset, the engine languishes on the floor of the garage until we can open her up. No obvious signs of damage yet, but we are still to break open the case. The 550 lump is being sorted at the moment, valve clearance check is a doddle when the shims are on top of buckets and the engine in on the work bench in the hall (next to the radiator!) and not on the cold stone floor of the garage!
Have fun with your new project, I expect stories of how comfortable it is and how lovely it is to ride down the motorway at 50!
