Cool bike bro I have one too that I'm trying to bring back to life. I have to go thru the wiring to see if things are still good if not I'll just sell it for parts.
Thanks, it was a fun project. I just sold it and I think it's going to end up a cafe bike. I can focus on the Saab 9000 now. The electrical is pretty basic on the XJ models so I would only part it out if the bottom end is shot. You can still find good harnesses around if that one has been cut up. xjbikes.com is a great resource. My rebuild project is on there. Have fun with yours, hopefully you can resurrect it!
even tho the youtube is old.....having to be in neutral to start a Yamaha street bike is an electrical issue......as long as sidestand is up......there should be a switch on clutch lever so when lever is pulled it allows you to crank and start without having to return to neutral....
It is not simple to put an injection kit on a 4 carb setup with YICS. Carbs are finicky but they also don't need an ECU. I need to fix a leaky intake boot on #3 and retune each cyl with the colortune plug before I resync the set. It purred just fine before I put the filter and that was just from sound, exhaust touch and smell.

Yeah I got most of the wiring sorted, not all of it.
That would make me want to get an EFI kit, and a welding kit for the O2 sensor bung.
