Here are some useful specs for float heights and fuel levels for 92-98 XJ600's (S and N models).

All credit goes to GAU-8 from Seca2.forumup.org for this useful info:

now there are some variables, due to wear and tear on the bike,settings and such, that these settings might not be the best. as said going by CLYMER's book. this would be the nominal settings for "normal" operations.

(EDIT..this is an OLDER book, so UK/CAN/AUS owners, and others i do NOT have info for 1999 and newer. ONLY 1992-1998 :( )


---------------------------- FLOAT LEVELS ----------------------------

U.S. spec: (ALL year U.S. models)6.2~8.2 MM (0.24~0.32 in)

AUS/CAN spec: (1992~1996) 11~13 MM (0.43~0.51 in)

UK spec: (1992~1995) 11~13 MM (0.43~0.51 in)
(1996~1998) 8.8~10.8 MM (0.35~0.42 in)

(a different setup on its own..but in case you know how to do it)

U.S. spec: (ALL U.S. models) 4~6 mm BELOW the float chamber line (marked on the outside of carbs)

AUS/CAN spec: (1992~1996) 3~5 mm (0.12~0.20 in) ABOVE float chamber line
