New Stead in the Stable

[b.walker5]

Went shopping for new tyre for the 11, came home with two, and an extra couple hundred cc's



Actually seen it advertised on Saturday and decided I just had to have it.

Ahh, an XJR1300. You guys are so lucky, we can't get those in the States.

Very nice looking ride!

Lucky dog!!!!
On both counts:
1- Being able to get that model
2- And getting it

We expect performance reports as soon as you can.

Thanks

Guess I will just have to try to build my own over the years out of XS/XJ and FJ parts.

Definitely one of the things I miss about being overseas was seing all the big inline fours.
Nice find.

Faaaarrrrrkk, this things got some snot. First tank of gas down, many more to go.
100km/h (60mph) 3800 rpm, Redline 9.5k

Only two things wrong so far,

1. I cant hear the exhaust, and
2. I cant 'hear' the gear change.. No more Russian Tractor.

This is now my new daily ride, giving me the chance to completely strip the 11 and tidy it up properly.

Love that bike as well as these monsters:

Anyone read Japanese??? The immobiliser on the new wheels is playing up and I'm going to take it out. Problem is it's factory hard wired in and, being an import, the bloody wiring diagram is in Japanese. Tried comparing it to a local market model but there's too many differences to try and match things up. Asked the dealer but he doesnt want to know. Great bike but maybe I should've bought a local.

Hi Brian,
Ichi Ban = I am number one

I am sure there is atleast one who realy does read Japanese on this forum.
try a new thread such as " Help reading Japanese"

My dad speaks Japanese, and is an electro-mechanical engineer. I might be able to get him to translate something if you can post a good picture of it.

Thanks Cbug, thats a good offer . PM me an email address and i'll send you a pdf of it. Posting a pic here probably wouldnt blow up big enough to read properly.
