The Novita EP34 has the correct polarity.
Update: I ended up with CB400F bars, which gave me the hand position I want. They're a bit low; the choke lever touches the tank. I have some...
I hoped to try some stock Seca650 Turbo try-Y pipes for better scavenging, with a flanged muffler build; but I learned the tube ID is smaller. :(
Super Clean, by Castrol, is the best degreaser/cleaner I have ever used (better than Simple Green). This stuff is caustic and will give you a head...
Correct me if I'm wrong, but the middle gear chamber is not a sealed space. Oil washes through that area just like in the rest of the engine....
Ah, she's a beauty. Do watch out for handlebar clearance - the choke lever (on the left) protrudes more than the right switchgear. Clubmans suck...
I'm in the market too - mine is falling apart.
It's not a Seca (US only, 1982).
As long as you ride in painters pants, you'll be okay.
Gorgeous! I invite you to join our Seca650 FB group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/307049559651392/?ref=group_header
I got a Honda CB400F handlebars on Amazon. Closest to BMW S bars I could find. The clubmans are coming off, 400F bars going on....

An easy way to measure suspension sag: Snugly (not too tight, allow it to slide but not slip down by gravity) attach a cable tie to the shock...
Raask, from Sweden, also make rearsets for the Seca 650 (I had them on my first one).
Ah - she's a beauty. This looks like it was originally a Seca 650 - right? If so, I cordially invite you to join our Yamaha XJ650R(J) Seca...
Makes sense.
Right, that's a given. It would appear that the left-side dump dictates a left-side muffler solution.
While wrestling (this could take some time) with removing one of my head pipes (broken bung) to have it repaired, I've been doing a little...
Besides getting snagged on high things and getting damaged, what is the purpose of the bungs (plugged with bolts) near the end of the head pipes,...
Yes.
Sounds okay to me.
The DCC offering looks cheezy. I'm in the same boat - I don't want "value" shocks, I want close-to-race performance, but I cannot afford Öhlins....
Engine cold, warm, hot - what is best?
Long story, not short: My first (bought new - zero miles - in '84) Seca 650 was killed by a hit-and-run driver (rear-ended) 20 years ago. Back...
Cute I want to completely remove the tach drive connected to the cam and cap the whole thing off. Where do I go for the cap/plug?
I am using Redline MTL - my research indicates no risks.
I was rear-ended by a hit-and-run driver on my way to work early one morning 20 years ago. I was hurt, my beautiful Seca 650 was totaled by...
Yep - they're little rubber dampers that dull the ring of the cooling fins. They quiet down the engine a lot. Try strumming the fins with/without...
My tach is toast, both gauge bodies are shot, the rubber gaskets are shrunken and hard - time to say goodbye to the old instrumentation....
Beautiful Seca - balanced.
I have a pair of straight-spoke alloy wheels from an XS750 that I'm thinking of putting on my Seca 650. At first look, it looks like they might...
IIRC, when you have loosened/removed anything at the front end, upon reassembly, you should loosen everything. Then - starting at the bottom -...
What are the best sizes for the Seca650? What are on mine appear kinda wimpy.
Play sand is not desirable because of the different sizes of the granules. Imagine the velocity at which this stuff is hurtling at your soft...
Because Secas are unique in so many ways, it would be great to have a set of subpages for the different model Secas. Thanks
Anybody have luck with converting to an electronic tach?
I, too, wish to do away with the mech tach (speedo, too); I'm looking for some kind of blanking plug/cap. I see no point in repairing something...
Bike:[ATTACH] 1982 XJ650R Seca, 17K (indicated) miles, decent shape, stock - my 2nd Seca 650 Needs a few things: Tach seals (I'll upgrade to...
It's not a sealed beam (H4), no holes. Probably, someone in its past put inferior or dirty bulbs in it.
The stock headlight on my just-acquired Seca 650 is hazy inside. Any tips on how to clean inside the headlight without damaging the reflector?
I'm sure she was a lot more fun then.
That's my ex-wife!
1982 XJ650R Seca (Seca650)
How about posting some beamshots - light on flat (wall) surface for pattern analysis?
There is no decent H4 HID design. If you want more light, go with an overwattage bulb on a battery-direct relay.
