yes it will fit, I've read that they were fitted standard to the late 1VJ, so some time in 1987, I have an early 1VJ that has a 34K03 cylinder fitted by a previous owner.

Nice bike Syd, I'm also from Melbourne and have a 1VJ or 2

I just saw the ad, its sold now, how much was it?

nice find there DZI, I suspect the one you just found there in Japan has had its seat modified, the few I've seen including the one I originally made the post about had full size vinyl welded seats, just a patty my pictures no longer show up. one district difference from the very early 39E/34eL ...

This 39F is for sale again on Gumtree, located not far from where it was for sale 2 years ago, it's now $2500 neared than before, looks like its had new handlebars put on it and maybe had some of the original Japanese decals removed, the speedo photo in the current advert indicates it's only ...

So the story of this 1VJ is that the seller has had if for about 5 years in it current non running condition, he got it from his uncle in New South Wales.
It's slowly on its way to Melbourne, I've been looking for this model for a while now, having asked around a few groups with nothing to be bought ...

48 litres, that things huge

If you replace the springs, make sure you get springs to suit your weight.

I :tenere: believe everything is the same except 1st gear, which I have a NOS XT550 one in the shed, just wanting to know the consequences of it being in the 600.
I just pulled my second 39E engine and it looks like at some stage someone has replaced 5th gear as its in really good condition, but ...

Well, I just pulled down the engine of my second 39E, so I'm talking about that I suppose, the 55W has the same gear.
34L-17211-00 is the 55W part #, I believe it became 99999-02306-00 and was used up till 1989.
But, CMSNL have 99999-02306 as being used in an 1986 XT500 from Austria, I'm surprised ...
