Hey! What Are You Guy's Doing??? ALL 648 0f You!!!

Robbied31, what is the condition of your XJ? Welcome to the forum.

 

We'll get it running.

That's what we DO!

 

Heck I have found OUTSTANDING HELP from this site. I am still somewhat new to motorcycles, and am constently watching this site for help. Due to being over in Iraq, I have a hard time checking the posts everyday, and sometimes I have to pass over alot of them, someday I need to print out all the good useful ones for reference and keep them in my parts binder. Eventually, I would like to link up with fellow XJers in the area and maybe get a few photos for the site. Hey on the bright side, I should be back on my 750J by the end of October, and once I give or get a good tune up, mount my Vetter saddle bags and trunk, she'll be back on the GA roads.

 

I never post because i haven't had any problems with the bike yet, it just keeps running great. This is my first bike and I am still a newbie so I really don't have any good input to help others with their problems yet.

 

ok Rick, i have been lurking around for awhile now and have not posted because im too busy reading all of the great questions and advice!
HELLO EVERYONE! my name is Jim and am the proud owner of a 1981 xj 550 seca. i have more questions than time but i have been collecting new parts to keep my seca running and looking good. Thanks

 

Atta Boy, Jim ...

Let's hear about that bike!

 

well rick, last friday night i went in the garage and put on the gloves, put on new tires, spark plugs, in-line fuel filter, soldered in blade type fuse holders, new air filter, changed oil and filter, lubed chain, adjusted cam chain tension, cleaned turn signal switch, and did an overall inspection of the bike and took her for a nice ride saturday morning! next on the list is carb cleaning and fork seals! I bought this seca on ebay last month, i live in Indiana and went to Wisconson to pick it up, it's a nice seca that just needed a little love, it has a kerker 4 into 1, and barnett clutch plates, but is otherwise stock. I love this bike!!! that's it for now!

 

You must have the Wood Brother's living next door.
I'd still be struggling with getting the beads broke on the tires ... let alone doing all that wiring and other maintenance.

Good deal!

How about Posting a pic of your bike and telling us about how you made the score!

 

the tires only took about an hour to remove, unmount and remount, the hard part was soldering while fighting off mosquito's. after 7 years i finally convinced my wife i could be a nicer, shinier human if i only had two wheels under me again, so i scoured the globe and found a honda ascot on ebay, bid on it but lost, the gods were watching over me! a few weeks later found the seca, watched it, did research on ths site among others and at the last minute... i bid on it and won!! i will try and get a pic soon, i do ok with a wrench in my hand, but when it comes to an electronic marvel like a camera... i am 10 again looking down at this thing in my hands and wondering... how does this thing work???

 

I can get the image in the camera ... out of the camera and posted is where I fall on my face.

All that resizing and stuff is done without air tools!~
