Scott AFB.. I just purchased a 1982 seca xj550. Runs but needs work.

 

welcome to the forum!! so what does your 550 need?

 

O'Fallon, MO here. 82 750 Seca. Purchased it 6 weeks ago and been working on fixing the myriad of items missing or broken. But it won't be long now. Hopefully I can get it running before you guys set up the next ride or clinic.

 

I live in Rolla about 2 hours from St. Louis or so. I have an XJ750 Maxim that I resurrected recently. Still runs a tad rough but it's a lot better than it was when I bought it. I'd be happy to ride with someone on the forum sometime in Missouri.

 

Sorry it took so long to respond. Right now I'm tryign to get the turnsignals to work.. I posted a message asking for help. Either the flashers both work like emergency flashers or they both stay on depending on how I have them wired. The guy I purchsed it from bypassed the main starter button on the main control because of a problem (not sure what). I hope this isn't causeing the problem.

Anyway I hope to strip this bike over the winter and rebuild it. I have an oil leak I'm not sure of where it it coming from (very minor) but I would like to get to resolved. It also needs the clutch rebuilt and some of the wiring. I would alsolike to take it back to the original paint scheme. Not sure I'll get everything done this winter but I'm going to try..

 

Can anyone recommend a good mechanic in the area. This winter I want to tear down my bike an restore it to orginal. I just found a new oil leak after I plugged one around the tachometer cable. I looks like its a seal around the head. Anyway what I would like to do is remove the engine and have it rebuilt. While that is happening I can tear down the rest of the bike and clean, rewire and paint it. Right now the bike is white, but I would like to take it back to the original red. If anyone can recommend someone please email me a rckclmbrhck @ yahoo.com

Thanks

Keith

 

there is a guy advertizing on rollanet.com in the motorcycle classifieds saying he will fix anything chdeaper than the dealers and he is in st.james.

 

I'm roughly halfway in between St Louis and Columbia in Montgomery County. Has anyone been to the bike bone yard in Rosebud? I don't need anything at the moment for my 83 Maxim but wouldn't mind picking up spares.

 

I am in highland Illinois and wouldnt mind being counted in this upcoming year. Let me know. I am in the MOANG (we usually drill 1st weekend of month) so later in the month either Sat or Sun works for me.

 

if your talking about outpost motorcycles in rosebud on hwy T they have alot of stuff last i heard david was not opening anymore due to health issues. but he may have sold it.

 

I have been to the outpost in Rosebud in March of "09" they have reduced hours but are still there.

I live in Union I hope to have the bike I bought running soon, will have to have a get together in the area.

 

I've always wanted to visit that place. May take a Saturday morning to check it out. As far as XJ get togethers, count me in.

 

Cturek,

Let me know when you want to go to the outpost.

Their Saturday hours are pretty short 9am to 3pm last time I checked.

They are about 20 min from my house.

Drop me an email if interested.

 

Hey everyone.. I will be picking up my 92 seca 2 next sunday.. I havent seen to many of you with this bike.. Could I still be counted in on the get togethers and such?

 

Welcome, we have not actually got together yet

But when we do you will be welcome.

I order some brake parts for my bike today hope to have it back on the road in the next couple of weeks
