If its an XS 11 , its not an 82 . VIN please .

The dealer or Illinois may have made an error on my registration. Its JYA10M007CA007100. Are you with the Royal Canadian Motorcycle Police?

Paul, all the US XJ's are JYA10M00***, so you've basically got an XS at the last step of the evolutionary chain. interlinked brakes, bigger tank, equilized forks and YICS (yucks). a lot of places don't differenciate between the two bikes. I called one place for parts to get a clutch cable (supprisingly denniskirk) and they told me there was no such thing as a 82 xj1100. A lot of the parts are the same. You can alway's speed shift (clutchless) when excellorating, dosen't help much when starting off though

XJ11 the evolution

So its a XJ . Up here the only way I can get parts is to specify 82 XJ ( even at the dealer)even though I have an 83(11G-000-000) .
Welcome to the XJ clan .

P.S. I could go for Royal Canadian Motorcycle Police but then I would have to leave my polar bear hitched to the snow bank .
Pretty cold here right now - looks like end of the season is upon me.
