Hi guys,
I need some advices and I think that this place is best for it.
I ride an XJ 750 seca from 1982. I had many problems with the engine and I'm now fed up with it.
The last one was a very low cylinder compression (4 psi/cylinder...). I cured it with a Bardhal additive and now it's ok for a moment, I hope.
I opened this engine three times in 2 years and I'm really fed up with it, gaskets and parts are not free...
First I was thinking to change it for an XJ 900 engine, easier to find in France. Finally, I'm thinking about another solution, change it for an XS one.
I'm crazy of vintage bikes (I turned my XJ into a Cafe-Racer) and I always regret that my bike doesn't have a kick-start. It's also really practical when battery's over ! I know that XS have kick-start.
So my question is, what kind of XS engine can fit my bike without big modifications in your opinion ?
XJ seca and some XS seems to have the same frame, is it correct ?
Any advice or suggestion will be really appreciated ! Thanks !
Best regards from frogland
