    Red face XJ 750 tribulations

    I have a 85 XJ 750 RL model. Its been in the bike shop for weeks now, the fault is a munted CDI unit. They tried to get one from a wrecker to no avail. They tried to fix it but the bike is not going still. Q--Any ideas on a replacement or where to look for one?
    Cheers

    Ask the question here, I've seen guys on there repair them (depending on model)

    Up in the top right corner, where it says Welcome dave_ali@xtra.etc, you should see "Private Messages" in yellow. Click on that, and from the resulting screen look down the menu at the left side and find "private messages" and under that "send new message". Click on that and you have a dialog box where you enter recipients name (ie Frosty) and then the text of your message.
    it's not a bad thing till you throw a KLR into the mix.
    those cheap ass bitches can do anything with ductape.

    Sorry, newbies need to have a post count of 5 or more to use the Private Message system. You're nearly there...
