The Bulletproof XJ

[FROSTY:Me]

Gah I believe it was the XJ600, XJ650, xv750 and xj900 were the interchangeable ones

Nope sorry dude
FZ600,XJ600 and XJ550 are a swapout
XJ650.XJ750 and XJ900 are all shaft drive -650 and 750 engines basicly swap and the 750 goes into the 900 frame--never tried 900 into a 650 frame

Still selling?

The XJ600 is chain drive. The XJ900 is shaft drive. The XV is a V engine and shaft too I think (and wont fit)

Calm down, your hornet is faster.

I'll bet the XJ can smoke any 250cc - It's essentially the same as my old YX600 Radian and that bike's especially got very good torque at the low end of the rpm. Bloody wonderful air-cooled bulletproof "Me so horny, me love you long time" engines they are too...

OP - Pics of the bike please....

Take no notice of the troll

I had a lot of fun putting a lot of k's on my old XJ600, great old bikes and suprisingly capable for their age..

Not LAMs approved though, at 72hp and 190kg dry.

Had an XJ650 special, my first 4T after the H1a.... bloody great motor, only 'weakness?' is the cam chain from memory... (unless the oil/filter is done religiously). Very early (non Yics) had a bit of a flat spot around 5k-7k, think they did a slightly larger main jet to rectify it. Yics model had no problem, only servicing isssue I could foresee is if your local shop still has the 'YICS' tool for carb balancing.

650/750 top end was a simple swapover as well..... Early 900's were actually 850, later bored out a little to reach 900cc.
Did a lot of miles on the XJ, loved the 'whistle' they made, went pretty good for the 'day' too.
