Peterrr Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 Hi guys I got myself a little pre-christmas present. An XN85 Turbo (with a shocking 85hp) Bike has been standing still for more than 20 years, everything is there, does't look all that bad. so when I find some time I will see if I can get it running again. But I was wondering if anyone else her has one of these bikes? 4 Quote
Stumpy Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 I know Jim King has one but i dont know if he is on OSS Quote
Maggotbreath Posted November 7, 2020 Posted November 7, 2020 I've got one, non runner, all there but rough. Are you planning on modifying it? 1 Quote
Peterrr Posted November 8, 2020 Author Posted November 8, 2020 It is tempting to modify it for sure, but first thing to do is getting it to run. If I modify it, it will be upgrading suspension and brakes only, no cutting or welding anywhere. Do you want to get yours running and modify it? Quote

Only 70 bhp? omg lol. Well I will see what the engine does in a few months. first I need to finsh a popup kat. 3 Quote
Maggotbreath Posted November 8, 2020 Posted November 8, 2020 I understand that with kwak 750 liners a 810 kit is possible. 1 Quote

snoorder Posted November 9, 2020 Posted November 9, 2020 I know of a few in The Netherlands. My friend has one but it's missing the seat. Any spares around? Quote

The friend with the missing seat is Johan I guess? I am keeping an eye open for a XN seat, but as you might know parts are hard to find. Quote
Screwriverracing Posted November 11, 2020 Posted November 11, 2020 I used to have one, took it to IOM and Steve Burn's Dyno'ed it, made an impressive 37.5 BHP. When I got it home I discovered the waste gate was jammed, but had some fun on it. Cheers SRR 1 Quote
