Or, if you’re pressed for time like the rest of us, first go here: So, buckle up, or hunker down, or whatever your favorite metaphor is-because there's going to be a pretty smooth take-off, but then expect some bumps in the road ahead. Okay, as is proper with any good training video, we're going to start with the big picture and then work down to the nitty-gritty details. The procedure for doing this is described completely further below.Īnd finally, if you take a little bit of study time all of the information below, then soon you, too, can start "code talking" about having a "1982 5N8 model" or a "750MK" and really impress the other guys at the shop with your intimate and devil-is-in-the-details knowledge about all things Yamaha.

Our STRONGEST advice is to not rely on the information on your title, bill of sale, insurance documents, state registration certificates, what the former owner claimed, or any other PIECE OF PAPER-always go "right to the horse's mouth"-or in this case, your bike's frame and engine case, and absolutely verify 100% what bike you actually have! You'd would be quite surprised how many people we come across who are ordering parts, for example, for a 1981 model XJ-whatever because that's what it was sold to them as (or titled as), when in reality they have a 1982 model! YOUR FRAME AND ENGINE CASE ID NUMBERS ALWAYS SPEAKS THE REAL TRUTH! Some typed-up piece of paper from a government or insurance company clerk does not always fall into that same category of certainty!ĪLSO: verify that the engine in your bike is the original engine! Since many of the XJ-series engines are physically interchangable with each other, you never know what's been done over the years as far as engine-swapping is concerned! Rings and pistons from a 650 model engine are NOT going to fit a 750 engine, even if the 750 engine is installed in an XJ650 frame!!! So please-spend the 90 seconds or so necessary to determine whether the engine is original to the bike, and if not, what year/make/model bike that the engine came from.
It goes without saying that the proper and correct identification of your bike is important for a number of purposes-first and foremost, so that you can order the correct parts for it! But equally important is making sure that your title is correctly identifying your bike for registration, title, and licensing purposes, as well as for insurance registration purposes, etc. Okay, gather 'round friends and prepare yourself, 'cause we're about to go down the rabbit hole.
FRAME AND MODEL AND VIN NUMBERS, OH MY!!!
