I've finally reached the difficult decision to let my current XJR go. I need the space to work, with 3 other bikes plus this XJR there's just not enough room, somethings got to go and it's the XJR it's just not getting used.
I bought this bike in May 15 with 8680 on the clock it has a dealer service history until that point and from me until date. It was a bit of mess, nothing serious just covered in bling, wheel rim tape, cheap anodised nuts/bolts everywhere, gen 1 type LED indicators etc, etc, I'm sure you get the picture. It was in need of some serious TLC. I stripped the bike down to nothing other then the engine in the frame, everything was cleaned/checked/replaced, all the crap removed and fitted with OE or better, full list of work: -
Front and rear disc bolts replaced with SS.
Header studs and nuts replaced.
Calipers rebuilt.
36Y intake rubbers fitted.
4* advance plate fitted.
Air box mod.
Front forks stripped checked, uprated Hagon springs fitted, new oil.
Head races checked regreased.
Swing arm bushes/bearings checked regreased.
Shocks checked by Harris and uprated with (22% heavier) Ohlins springs.
Std indicators refitted.
Exhaust end plates removed and Klaus Goerz SSteel end plates fitted.
Delkevic SSteel collector box fitted, OE was shot.
Dual Fiamm type horns fitted.
Scott oiler fitted you can't see it unless you get your magnifier out! It's also set correctly.
Puig fly screen.
Oil cooler cover.
Polished chain guard.
The bike is fitted with a Datatool 3, it's been flawless in operation, still is. I know these like Meta get a bad rep, but in my experience (being in the trade and fitted both) I've never had a bad one, it's all about how they are fitted and keeping the battery's charged.
All OE parts, except brake lines, collector and chain guard are available and will be given to the new owner.
Current mileage 13510, mileage breakdown since I've owned it is as follows: -
May 15 - 16, 9274 = 594
May 16 - 17, 10029 = 755
May 17 - 18, 10695 = 666
May 18 - 19, 11016 = 321
May 19 - Sept 20 (covid extension) , 11552 = 536
Sept 20 - Aug 21, 12268 = 716
Aug 21 - Aug 23 (Off the road Nov 21 - Aug 23), 13488 = 1220
Aug 23 - to date 13510 = 22 last year it just went for it's MOT!
The bike has not been ridden this year as yet, bike started up last week, first prod after not being started since it's MOT and allowed to warm up.
As you can see it's not high usage, sunny day rides only, since I've owned it. It was given a full 12k service in May 22, 2 shims were replaced, front brake lines changed for Goodridge stealth lines, new SBS pads fitted, rear brake fluid changed, new Yuasa battery, fuel tap rebuilt (OE parts) including the small Oring (not OE) in the rear of the tap and new tyres (Mich Road 3) fitted at the same time. The bike is in very good condition, very clean, it's not perfect (see pictures) odd bits of rust beginning to appear on the odd fastener/bolt/screw etc, the bike is 21 years old. There is less of the normal wear and tear blemishes you'd expect for a 21 yr old bike, if you want a bike to complete nut and bolt restoration, this is it.
The bike runs and handles batter than standard, the motor is really strong again as you'd expect from a low mileage motor and it really is all about the XJR motor, if not not ridden one, you need too before you die. All paperwork is present as is the spare key. This is a turn the key and ride off, just needs tax or use it to make it perfect, the bike is currently SORN.
It's worth in the region of £4200 ish, I'm looking for £4000 ovno, no tyre kickers please. So as not to offend if you visit and you want a test ride you need to cross my hand with 4.2K first. I'd prefer the bike went to a member before I have to ebay or other bike press. Bikes located in the Melton Mowbray area, PM me if you're interested

but can be discarded when using the NGK resistor. The spring should fall out but may be corroded and stuck. Inside the cap there is a flat brass part which is part of the screw which needs to be cleaned usually scratched clean with a sharpened screwdriver. Clean the spring and reassemble. Use Dielectric grease on the boots and all will be well for years.
