Hey all - I picked up my 97 XJ600 a few weeks back. Finally getting around to introducing myself and posting a few pictures.
Picked it up with 15k miles and not running, had a bad petcock and fuel pump. Got those changed out and cleaned the carbs and got it running. Previous owner stripped two of the pilot screws so I will need to get those out and order new ones. It runs fairly well but I definitely need to replace the screws to get it dialed in.
Here is how it sits currently. Paint is pretty faded on the front fairing and rear plastics. Tank is in nice shape. Has anyone used any products to try and bring the paint back on the plastics? Not sure if I can save it or if it's clear coat failure. I am not worried about the fairing since I plan to eliminate it anyway. I do have the belly pan, but it needs some plastic repair.
Here's some quick pictures:
