Well guys, I've been idle on the forum for far too long as my life has been completely turned around over the past year. But that's another story...
Not my posting but I found this on craigslist and knowing that there are plenty of people on here looking for old seca parts, might be helpful....
Well put Dave! I agree with him. Looking good Eco. Keep up the good work.
Thanks Maverick! So looks like the next plan of attack is to get another day off to head down there with a battery and see what happens
Thanks K-Moe. I have been looking at that diagram in several places, and none of them stated what part 17 was. So we obviously now know it has a...
So ok, I have been desperate to get my hands on my Grandfather's two old Yamaha's. One is at his house in southern PA which will be a long time...
Oh and I forgot. If you are planning to break the rack and make them zestfully clean. Give yourself more than 2 days. When I did mine, it took me...
All depends on how deep you want to dive in. For the first time personally I would say strip them completely to bare bodies. It is not too...
Wow, I love the Blue color. Looks like a great job so far! Keep it up.
You are correct.
Fitz has said it before and others as well. When it comes to the shims you are 100% in or 100% out of spec. If your intakes are showing .11 and...
Tim, I would definately agree, if your going to be swapping the lines anyway, might as well do everything while your at it. That way you wont have...
Thanks, To clean the mc I stripped all the parts off it and put it In carb dip for a couple of days. After taking it out then I hit it with...
I know it is probably not easy to check but is there a blockage in the vacuum line? Seems silly but it sounds like there is no vacuum there. A way...
I Agree, A DOT approved helmet is not supposed to interfere with your line of sight at all. This seems like the helmet would have to do that in...
Ooops I just noticed that I sent you the info on the intake, either way, send Len a Personal Message and he can let you know everything that he has.
Send a PM to our local parts guru Len at XJ4ever. http://www.xjbikes.com/Your_Account/profile=743.html That is his profile. Give him the...
Yup, you got it!
Lanker, I didn't realize you were up here in Cicero! Heck if you ever have any questions about anything I work right here across from Home Depot!...
Well the fun part was that I got home and was expecting the yelling and crazy mother, nope. She wanted to go for a ride, but it was raining so we...
+1 on that. Going back to the snowmobile comment Dave made, I have to say a well tuned XJ is right up there with the same fun factor. Like Dave...
So I'm kinda bringin back a dead thread here. But something just happened here in Syracuse that made me think of this post. Going back to the...
Way to go Dave!!! Cant wait to actually see one next weekend.
Dave are you kidding me... you can't fit your pile in a picture... you would need an album... And Eco, you would be in Awe... and feel slightly...
One thing to add that you left out Quebecois, the cinch bolt on the right side. Need to loosen that as well before you pull the axle.
Ah, I finally understand why they make mini bikes now... they aren't toys, they are efficiently sized for little people... On a positive note,...
Ok maybe I was simply dreaming it... I have been wrong before.
Re: Be The Bunny! Safe riding and motorcycle survival threa So I just read all 18 pages so far and I saw no mention of one other major thing...
I think it is more that the 1 & 4 carbs don't line up with the airbox holes. So they have to be a bit longer to reach the carbs... Not sure the...
On mine the 2 & 3 airbox to carb boots were slightly shorter than the 1 & 4 boots. Might be different on the 750. That I'm not sure of. At least...
I removed the boots. Made gettin the carbs in and out really easy. But like fitz said, getting those boots back in with the carbs in was a test of...
It just seems somehow very unstable for something that is as powerful as that bike is to have a rigid rear end like that... Cornering must be a...
http://syracuse.craigslist.org/mcy/3719040175.html Saw that while perusing craigslist. Thought I would share with the masses. In case it is...
+1 on that Dave! Looking good Eco!
Re: Who has the oldest tyres?! Peronsonally mine are too old to be riding, hence they will be getting replaced ASAP. But here is a story that I...
Eco. Looking good. That thread that you linked gave me a great idea what to do. If you run into any problems or anything feel free to contact...
That could have been it as well. Either way when I put them back together the only lube on the seal was brake fluid and a clamp for force...
Something else that is possible, When you were putting the rear tire back on did you re-center the brakes by holding the rear brake while you...
When I tore apart my MC this ( http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=41403.html ) was the ugliness that I found. I was having problems with mine...
Did you by chance rebuild the master cylinder while you were at it? That thing can get downright ugly over time and the seals can break down as...
Try putting some feelers out in the Sell/wanted section of the forums. I'm sure someone may have something. You could also try sending a message...
Yes, Like bloke said that is usually terminal on the carbs. Don't just leave it like that obviously since that can effect your fuel levels and...
If there was supposed to be a picture there, it did not come through. Are you talking about the 4 screws that hold the bowl on? or are you talking...
Wow that color is Awesome! Love that!
One thing with what Fitz said thou, I believe you said that you were polishing plastic parts. If so, don't use the Paint remover on those as you...
In NY here your paying 200 no matter what, CC or through a state run course. I realize that 200 is a whole lot of money that will take a long time...
Indeed. And they make for a great cruise to just go out and circle one of the lakes. Although Cayuga and Seneca are a long ride to circle at close...
That was actually on a road that circles Skaneatles lake, one of the finger lakes. Really nice ride if you ever make it down here I recommend it.
I believe these were the Threads that you were looking for bloke, http://xjbikes.com/Forums/viewtopic/t=14827.html...
