Has anyone switched to the fuel valve that xj4ever sells? I'm thinking that might not be a bad idea since it would be a new part. The...
haha it says pet(censored)
Hey guys, just got the bike back together. I had the tank painted and the petcock was removed. The gasket looked pretty shady but I figured I'd...
Welcome. Glad to hear you are enthusiastic about your bike
Agree with Fitz. My buddy who's been restoring/riding bikes (including some yammies) for 40 years told me the same thing.
Never rode a hardtailed bike, but I'd imagine they handle horribly. Seems like the rear tire would hop all over the place at any road...
I think you're about right. 150-200 bucks would be a good price. The parts are worth that easy.
Sweet, where'd ya get those brake shoes?
Very nice
Wow, I thought my $600 bike looked pretty bad. You may end up spending a ton of money on that thing. You are going to need a new exhaust I...
I know how you feel. It looks similiar here except all the trees are coated in about an inch of ice. It looks really cool, but there are loads...
New grips arrived. Wife also bought me some skull bolts for the license plate. Myself, I got new riding gloves and a new baclava for riding as...
Ok, sounds like a plan. My bike has been down before, but I don't think it was too bad. All the axle stuff is in right and the speedo is in the...
Well, figured out why my bike cost $600 haha. Something is definately bent on the front end. The forks are definately not straight. The space...
Ok, well my fender is definately tweaked. So I took off the fender and put the brakes on, and only the right side bracket is hitting the rotor...
Thanks. So it runs a lock washer then a regular washer. Maybe I don't have the wheel on all the way. Like it's not centered or something. I'll...
Hi guys. I had my front wheel off and I've got it back together, except the brake caliper brackets are hitting the rotors when I tighten down the...
Harley guys usually take them to the dealership for service.
Mad skillz yo!
That's amazing for a PT cruiser. I've seen the motors blow at 90k before. We just had one come in last week with 20 psi compression in 2...
Your bike is in similar shape as mine. I plan to buy a newer bike next year. Probably a Vulcan 900 cruiser. But I won't sell my bike...
I'm planning to ride over 100 miles this weekend. It's going to be warm! I have rain gear but with my current gear riding under 35 degrees isn't...
Polock, are you talking about using muriatic acid to strip the chrome off so I can paint the pipes black or just to remove the rust from the chrome?
Tried the diet coke and aluminum foil. It worked a little but the header pipes are too far gone. Wrapping them is an idea, or I'll have to...
Great, I'll try that. Thanks khellandros.
Cool, thanks Polock.
Yeah, thanks for your advice Fitz. I'm surprised nobody has an aftermarket exhuast. If everyone has stock pipes I'm curious how they get rid of...
Hi guys, I have an 82 xj650 seca and I have a question or two about exhaust. I'm wondering if anyone is running an aftermarket exhaust system...
Sorry you wiped out. I've had the rear end come out a couple times on gravel and it's scary.
Haha, love bugs aka box elder bugs I think. My wife calls em anus bugs.
Sorry to hear about your accident. Sounds like an awful experience. Riding this time of year is a little risky, especially around dawn or dusk....
Very cool
Good luck selling it. Personally I wouldn't sell it. It's not like 800 bucks or whatever is that much money. I think it's cool. Like those rat...
Good advice. Will be doing valve adjustment in the offseason and will use rtv now. My valve cover gasket it slightly leaking from the front at...
So, my friend and I were heading out for a ride today we were coming up to a light. I pulled the brake kind of hard and I hear clunk clunk! I...
Don't ya think if the guy in the SUV wanted to hurt the gang members he would have started swerving all over the place when they were riding all...
Wow, that's something special right there. Guess they really didn't want to see their Master Cylinder on the handlebar.
Thanks Bruce, appreciate it.
My friend from work has the kilimanjaro jacket and he loves it. He rides well into the cold weather. I have a tourmaster draft for hot days and...
Hi, thanks for the info. The tires are 2 years old. The lady took it to the dealer for service this year. I don't know if the valves were...
Hi guys. My name is Keith and I bought an 82 xj650 seca about a month ago. Bought from an older lady for $600. Having checked how much these...
