Im looking at a XJ600 which I can get for next to nothing. Its been dropped on the left and taken out the pulse generator and stator cover. Are these hard to get these days?
It needs a tone of other stuff but these are the parts that concern me to get.

XJbikes.com has all the info you may ever need (if you can find it)
If you don't get it I would be interested as little bro bought one which needs a few engine bits

Oops ! maybe another donor bike is needed mate. The XJ wheels are the same as RZ so could come in handy tho...........Probably a motor
Only a few days to go before were in your neck of the woods, you can brings the pies and Cokes to Ruapuna

They all do that sir...eventually. I saw two in one year back in the day including Jacqui Madelin's one....Probably a motor
If I did one for post classic racing I sure wouldn't use stock rods.

Never heard of it in any of the XJ550/600 engines in road use and haven't ever seen anyone comment on it in the XJ forums, but you sound like just the man to throw at at and sort it out
Not sure if I will even be at the track Jase but if I am I will bring a pie and coke just for you

There are still quite a few on the road .... as they are/were popular bikes. But before you buy ... check it is still in the system ... ie: rego (or proof of in the past) can be checked. As a new VIN may be required ...
Parts though are still available ... Check wrecker web-site listings.

Yes needs Vin. But this guy has owned it from 97 and still has the change of ownership into his name. Bike could be mine for $250. But needs a stack of work done on it. But sat on it and instantly felt a great position.
Needs stator housing, pulse gen, fork seals, front and rear brake pads/seals, 2 tyres, etc
Body work is average with lots of scratches. Old guy owns it and rode it every day for a year back in 98. He then had a stroke and couldnt ride. It was ridable untill early last year when grandson took it down the road and dropped it. Its done a bit 20k.

PROOF OF PAST REGISTRATION is required fo VIN ... not of ownership ...
If past rego proof is included in the ownership ... all good.
Parts should not be an issue. I see a workshop manual for sale on trademe (Motorcycle - Parts. Search -XJ600 )

As in plate etc? Its got its plate, a rego sticker and the change of ownership card that looks like the rego card.

If engine/chassis numbers MATCH the papers ... sweet ... !!! Having the plate is over-rated ... (wont hurt though)

Shouldn't be hard to get XJ550, XJ600, YX600, FJ600 and FZ600 are all basically the same motor although the XJ600 turned into the Seca 2 which is a bit later and slightly different
If it's got a plate there shouldn't be any problem
