Looking like a Seca II
Tons of pictures here; https://advrider.com/f/threads/the-forgotten-yamaha-seca-ii.1080212/

 

hi here in the uk it is not a seca just an xj 600 n have looked at it better now and i will have loads to buy and i think the exhausts will be the main problem .


andy

 

That one ought to keep you busy!

 

Oh my! How much did you have to drink? I think the exhaust is going to be the least of the problem. You said you needed a project? You sure got one!
Good luck and have fun.
John

 

I think you have a project and then some, good for you. Keep us posted on the progress and I hope she fires right up.

 

Slanted motor is that what they call the 600 diversion? Looks like it will keep you busy for a while.

 

I wonder if the swingarm would fit in xj550. It would be nice to get the disc brake on the rear.

 

That looks to have almost down draft carbs on that, like the VMax?

 

You bought the perfect start to a scrambler or streetfighter conversion.

 

Like one of these....

 

^^^^That is a good looking bike with nice lines... Not too sure how good any of those fenders (front) would work on wet or muddy roads/trails?

 

hi been in the garage for a short time turns out this is a 1995 xj 600 s not an n needs work but came apart ok , just cant get any more done due to the coronavirus wanted to get it powder coated so will just have to clean parts for the next few weeks , realy not going to modifi it just change the color . blue i think some pictures attached can any one spot what is wrong with one of the pictures ( not the broken bit ) .

Not enough bikes in the garage

 

out of the garage now all small parts painted and waiting to be refitted but cant get frame and swinging arm blasted and painted so e bay here i come loads to buy and cash in pocket bigist problems are the rear caliper and exhaust think a delvic exhaust will be fitted just cant find a rear caliper for the right price , sorted new clocks and side panels for £50 will be collecting them soon , the bike will be on the road in months not years like the xj 550 i built ,

stay safe keep in doors and look after yourself.

getting there slowly having a ball with all the free time i have but the wife is not impressed with me .


andy

 

back on its wheels , only after i cleaned out the freezer for the boss luckey for me the freezer is in my garage.


andy

 

Looking good....

 

I noticed that the tires are mounted reversed on the painted/coated rims. I could be seeing it strange cause of the photographs. Just wanted to give a heads up.

 

just put them on to move it round will be having new ones fitted but good spot ,

andy

 

quick up date getting there at this rate will be finished soon sorted rear caliper (well my mate did ) still have wiring issues and just run out of paint and as the paint is free from work it may take time to get some more as i have been furlowed for another 3 months ,
andy

 

I really like the color!

 

wow, that's looking proper now!

 

better pictures now it is outside and yes it came out of a skip

andy

 

this week i aqured some more paint and the painting is now finished .

andy

 

quick up date bike now runs have had to take a time out on it as i am back at work and playing catch up so it will now go over into a winter resto , but just having spent 3 weeks sorting the wiring i have finally got it running , note to self check the earths on the wiring harness ...


andy

 

hi few more bits done, new exhaust (Delkevic 4 into 2 ) sounds great , all brakes working , seat recovered , some more paint work done and can you spot what is different as i made a mistake ,

andy

 

you forgot the second brakedisc..

 

wrong only one fitted on this model sorry.

andy

 

I know

 

Looking great.

 

Rear tire on backwards?

 

Looking good, only think I can see are a few missing screws on the wind screen. Besides that can' tell anything wrong.

 

Decal on tank says Yamah

 

The only thing I can see that's wrong is that it's not in my garage.

 

most of your photos have something blue in the background.
trashcan
buffer
shop rag
blanket
hand saw
tote
toolbox
bag of cement?
was that the influance for your color choice?

Nice work

 

keep looking you will spot the difference soon, tyre sorted . nothing is fitted permantly yet just a mock up to make Shure it all Fitts .

andy

 

paint was free

 

Don’t forget to put your mirrors back on

 

finally finished after a few problems had to replace the tank as it leaked badly , also the clutch slipped when first road tested so new clutch fitted but it rattles badly so looking to strip it down again suspect dowel pin for oil pump is worn we will see , booked in for MOT Saturday so fingers crossed mirrors not fitted yet still waiting for them , cant wait to try it out now .

andy

 

mot passed now on the road .

time for a new bike to restore

andy

 

Nice work.
