I can remember if these are AC / DC generators how many wire do the xj and vstar regulators have? in general most regulator can be swaped as long as they run the same current.

Hi,
Sounds like the solenoid contact point is not hitting the solenoid cap. The solenoid cap have this two terminal( + ) which when you activate the solenoid, a rod would push copper bar and short the two terminal, thus giving power for the starter motor to wind up.
You should pull down again the starter and check that solenoid cap and make sure the contact points are clean and equally seated when it was hit bay a fusing bar.
Thanks for using FixYa!

First thing that comes to mind is over full of oil. Next, have you removed and or changed the stock filter? If no check for a tube from the breather box to the block or valve covers, there should be a check valve there called a burp valve. This valve may have gone bad. If you have removed the stock filter, it helps with a vacuum inside the air box to maintain a negative press on the engine case when running. Check these things an get back to me. Hope This Helps Fix Ya up.

Hi Richy,
please visit this site ..www.xjbikes.com theres a lot of info there with regards to our xj bikes!
(mine is Seca xj 750 1981.)

Yes-just bottom out the washered bolts and no further torque is required.

Don't use glue!
You will have the situation again that you have now. Use water and fairy liquid. The detergent dries in a few hours and whilst wet allows for possitioning of grips.
A Stanley knife is the only sure way of removing the old grips.

The first things that I would check is the Stator and the Regulator Rectifier. To check the stator and the Rectifier I would suggesting you get the repair manual. The repair manual is a Mechanics best friend. Not all bikes are the same and the manual will help with the diagnostics of both. Most of the time you can buy a manual on CD from ebay for about $5 to $11 dollars which is cheap compared to the paper back price.

Follow the positive battery cable to the starter solenoid. Unplug the two small wires going to the starter solenoid and push the starter button . With a voltage meter on the wires from the harness you should have continuity.Reconnect the wires. Push the starter button, if you hear a click from the solenoid the button is good. Now, jump the two cable posts on the starter solenoid. If the starter works you have a bad solenoid. If you push the starter button and tap on the starter with a plastic hammer and the starter works, you need new starter brushes. If anything else in the starter is keeping it from working (shorted or worn armature,corrosion, bad end cap, etc.) you need a new starter , the starter parts are not available from the manufacturer.

Sounds like you have a bearing pronlem or something has come loose .Best get it looked at by a yam mechanic.to be on the safe side.

Chains come in verious types to ensure you have the correct one contact your dealership for the best advice .

Should have on off and the other space should be prime!
