How did you get here?

Was looking up different 80s bikes before I even bought my xj and one of the commenters said to check this site out, I ended up getting the bike and here I am :lol:

 

I was "gogleing" for yamaha XJ 900 F, looking for parts and informations.
And i found "XJbikes" and i'm glad fot it...

I knew nothing about XJs when I bought mine from a mate, so I googled and came across xjbikes.. been the best help with my mods and tech stuff!

 

I found the site, while looking for information about the cam chain tensioner on my XS400 Maxim. The funny thing was I didn't even have an XJ. I just bought my first XJ750 Maxim this week, so now I have a reason to be on here.

 

Searching Google for useful info on Yamaha XJ650s. Link was on the top after adds.

 

Google

 

typed in xj forums on the majic machine and brought me here

 

Was looking for an exhaust for my xj and this site jumped up on the google list. I visited the site for a week or 2 and here I am.

 

I googled "Yamaha XJ650 owners forum" and found this site a couple hits down from the top. Figured it was the best place to go, since it's on a specific bike.

 

I found a link to the site when I googled Yamaha XJ650 Seca.

 

Digging around on Google for ANY info on XJ750's clicked on here and hit paydirt!

 

looking for parts for my xj. every time i googled a question about something, i always ended up here. it was destiny... wonderful friendly people! well, most of em

 

picked up an 83 Midnight Maxim from a guy going through divorice at the end of last year, figured give it a cleaning and resell. Ran into some not so politically correct repairs, and the more i learned of these bikes-the more I liked em. Think I am going to hang onto it, Thanks

 

when i first got my bike i was googling like a madman and somehow came across this site. can't say for sure if it was a direct link off google or through another site. glad i found it though.

 

Cant remember how I found it- all I can say is "now I am home"

 

Googled "1982 yamaha seca"- This site came up.
Googled "xj650"- This site came up.
Googled "650 seca parts"- This site came up.
Googled "yamaha seca maintenance"- This site came up.
Seems to me if you google that many things and the same place keeps popping up, it's probably the best choice...and it is.

 

I got here because I wanted to get another bike after getting rid of my YZF600R. I am a big guy and chains and big guys do not get along with high performance bikes and lots of miles. I had one pop off doing about 80 on I-5 and it darn near killed me.

At any rate, I was all ready to buy a CX500 for commuting because it had the shaft drive and a decent little power plant. But the wife wanted the option of going out for a ride every now and then and I knew that bike would huff and puff. With that in mind, I began searching for mid-displacement shaft drive bikes for cheap.

Well, I love Yamahas and found a great condition but not running XJ750 Seca for $450 and grabbed it. Naturally, to get it running I had to go to the net and that is how I landed on XJBikes.

Love this place and all communities like it. Wealth of knowledge on this board and this medium is the best way to disseminate it!

 

I just recently Purchased an '82 750 Seca and did a search through google for forums and it brought me here I came looking for Tech help as well as ideas and maybe some parts. My bike is in need of quite a bit of work before i will be able to ride it.

 

Gee all I did was look for forum for Yamaha Maxim XJ750 when I bought mine and up you poped.

 

just bought an 82 XJ and got online to find anything i could about chopping this sucker up...ran across this site and here i am

now....who's got the beer?
