I just came home from looking at the xj1100 . Heres the deal it will start and run it won't go in first gear period its real hard to get it in second . Its leaking oil too can't really tell from where . Overall the bike is clean and shows only 9500 miles which i think is correct and also has a kerker 4 into header but he won't take $400.00 the guy i talked to yesterday said he would but the owner said $600.00 or he'll just part it . Is it worth that i think they had the tranny apart because they said to them it was'nt worth fixing..

Well
May have bent shifting forks or they not be in alignment; the leaking oil could be from a loose filter or drain bolt (hopefully) or the casing could be cracked at worse case ....I'd clean the bottom of the engine and find out where the oil is coming from.....remember the xj may be harder to find parts for especially the ignition module if it goes.....personally, if it were me I would stand by your offer and leave him your phone # unless you wanted to buy it for parts.

I think i have most of the bugs worked out on the one i have now i'm going to change the oil again in a week or so that is if i get to ride it. Its shifting and starting ok now still can't beleve how bad that oil was i really think there was something in it other than oil.Comment
