    XJ air filter

    The XJ11 was in production for such a short period of time that there is no such thing as an aftermarket filter for it, we're stuck buying OEM units (not cheap!). They look like this - this one got gas/oil blowby from crankcase breather



    In the not too distant future, we'll have pix and a write-up of how Herb Johnston made this really nifty home-made K&N filter:

    That will be cool' One of the things that came with my cycle was a new air filter "still in the box" along with the receipt for $40++.
    So I will be interested. I'm pretty good at making things.

      I'm on a roll-"Speaking of making things"- All the bike makers seem to be so much into retro bikes, that I think 2007 would be a great time for a 25th anniverary xj1100 maxim limited one year edition!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What do you think?

          I've often wondered what the XJ would have developed into had it been given more of a run. We know turbo and fuel injection were being developed by Yamaha for the 1100 engine. A retro...build an XJ with as much of today's technology as possible, including FI, upgraded brakes, suspension, 160 mph speedo (Indiglow?) and a better seat. Add a touring package including floorboards, forward contols, cruise....

          Put me down for one!

            All this talk is making me crave a 2007 XJ1100. I think somebody should present this to Yamaha, and point them to this site in reference. Let them know we want it.

            I definately will be saving my allowances just in case

                Dave, MAW doesn't exactly know what they are talking about, it wouln't be the first time they published incorrect application data.

                At http://www.knpowersports.com, K&N's motorcycle main page, using their applications interface, the only product they list for XJ11 is an oil filter. For XS11, there are jet kits, air filters, oil filter, etc. The K&N YA-1400 is for XS11s, and will not fit the XJ. That YA-1400 is a K&N part number.
