Hello,

I'm searching for a left side panel for the 3AJ. Preferably in blue. Condition doesn't really matter aslong as it's still useable.

Cheers

Hi,

my 3AJ has been leaking sporadically for the last 2 weeks.
The oil droplets are coming from the bottom of the frame. See pic. It's marked in red.
I thought that the tube above the red square was coming form the engine breather but it's actually from the carburettor and absolutely dry so it's ...

Thanks for saving me, andy

Hello,
it's me again!
I was about to reassamble my engine when I tried to realign/adjust my clutch.

Maybe he can even get me the kickstarter shim that's missing for me.

On horizons unlimited I read a post saying that it's just an aluminium plug covering the holes and that it can be forced out.
I don't ...

Well one of the previous owners might have replaced the cover. Are they even interchangeable with those of other XTs?
Now that you mention it. My bike's fuel capacity is only 17 liters as opposed to the claimed 23. But that's a different topic, heh.
Anyway, the bike is definately a 3AJ.
Yeah I guess ...
