XJ600 S Divesion 1992 with V5 and brand new Delkevic exhaust. Leicster. £450
The photos appear blue but it really is green!

This has been my project for a few years, it's nearly ready but I really don't have the motivation anymore so needs to go.
I bought it as the previous owner had serviced it but threaded the sump plug so was leaking oil.
Main work done
New sump, sump gasket, sump plug and washer
Replaced the exhaust mounting bolts as the exhaust couldn't be removed as the nuts were as good as welded
Brand new exhasut nuts and gaskets
New engine mounting bolt (that was fun!)
New nuts and bolts here and there including fairing brackets
Replaced the petrol tank tap with a brand new one (not matching original)
Good points
Brand new 4 in to 1 Delkevic exhaust
As new chain and sprockets
Good tires
Fairing is in excellent condition for the year
Discs and pads have loads of life
Bad points
It starts/turns over if add a bit of fuel direct to the carbs but won't stay running
The rear caliper is a bit old - had to add a banjo/bleeder bolt (you can get a brand new after-market one for about £30 as I have with my other bike)
All electrics are good except the brake switches are a little temperamental, check them for continuity and working fine but then after putting everything back together they intermittently stop working
Brake light cover is cracked
No mirrors (nicked them for another bike)
Seat cover is torn
Some minor rust on frame due to age
Some light scratches on tank
