It came with a 3.00-19 front [[tire]] and a 110/90-18 rear tire. Stopping was achieved via dual disc in the front and a expanding [[brake]] in the rear. The front suspension was a  Telescopic Coil Spring Forks while the rear was equipped with a Swinging Arm With Dual Dampers Adjustable For Preload. The XJ550 was fitted with a 3.96 Gallon (15.00 Liters) fuel tank.
