Joe, Unfortunately, I didn't have the room to keep the machine (frame) on-site so it has been disposed of and the associated title was trashed.
Iron Stranger, I'm very sorry but I tossed the ENTIRE assembly in the trash last week.... It's a shame, although beat-up bit it would have been a...
Update on this SECA.... Basically, this machine was not in very good condition so there isn't too much of significant value, especially for those...
Mailbox now empty. PM Sent.
XJ Friends, A year or so back, I restored a 650 SECA and very much enjoyed the work. The bike won best in show at the Vintage Yamaha Rally '18....
I recently acquired one as well. Mine is a '92. 26k miles. $800 (non runner)[ATTACH] Kurt
Vintage Yamaha Rally Attendees, Nancy and I have come up to the Iron Horse for a weekend get away and found some very significant changes here!!!...
[ATTACH] This is the class winner for the VJMC bike show. An incredible bike that deserved he win.
XJ Friends, Took the SECA on the Tail of The Dragon and it ran well. The roads were wet and the tires are brand new so I did have to take it a...
The Yamahas are arriving by the dozens!!! Including a bunch of XJ's [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] There is also a SECA 550.... LOOKS LIKE NEW!...
[img] Vintage Yamaha Rally... 1995 Model FJ1200. According to the owner, this was a special import he believes may have been from...
XJ Friends, The rally preparations are in full swing!!! [IMG] One of the first arrivals is this (my) '82 SECA 650. [IMG] SECA's big brother...
Thanks again to LEN..... Making some final adjustments, repairs, and cleaning before taking this machine to the VYR (Vintage Yamaha Rally)....
Getting all my bikes ready for the rally...… still not sure which ones are going. I can only take three (2 in van, 1 riding). Definitely...
Very Very Nice Repair.... Great work!!! Every time I THINK I've seen the stupidest backyard repair, I get to see yet another. The P.O.'s...
CamelCase, Looking for all those items in a budget friendly tire is (in my opinion) unlikely. High Mileage tires rarely provide good handling...
I came up with a solution for the long cable.... My Mikuni's donated one of their cable holders (slightly modified). [ATTACH]
NO. The problem was that I screwed up installing the gasket on #3 intake boot.
Just plain stupid! I've been playing with these Hitachi carbs for WEEKS. I can't seem to get them right..... Nothing would align with #3....
They're on to stay...… probably not PERFECT.... But close to it. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
I too can appreciate all the "Classics" - My neighbor is a "Ford Guy" with a beautiful '32 3-window. Unfortunately, his pretty "Ford" is powered...
Hogfiddles, Thank you for taking that pic! I'm gonna make a couple pencil (Faint) marks on the tank so I get it perfect on the first shot...
Tank Badges Received from Chacal! STOKED!!!! SECA Guys, Today, I received my new Yamaha tank badges from CHACAL. I can't wait to install them....
I wish that was a bit closer to ATL. I'd buy it in a minute!
He's interested in the rear. Marty is wondering if he can put a rear XJ550 Maxim rim on one of his XS650's. I'm too lazy to pull the rear...
One word... BEAUTIFUL.
XJ Friends, As I prepare this machine for the Vintage Yamaha Rally (9/28 to 10/1), it seems the rims looked like total crap. The existing tires...
[IMG] Yamaha Represented at Rally XJ Bikes Friends, Those that have attended the rally the last couple of years are aware that Yamaha has been...
The XS/XJ11 Forks MAY not show ANY signs of abnormal wear. If this has been going on for a while, you will see the grinding on the edge facing...
Jamings67, I tried to read all the posts and this may have been addressed. But, this is a VERY VERY common problem with the XS/Xj1100 Motor....
Picking up the wreck for $100 is a very smart move! I've done the same several times. Last year I picked up two (1-Xs1100, 1-Xj650 Maxim) both...
Absolutely! Those OEM badges are one of those higher ticket items that'll have to wait a little bit...... New tires and repainting the rims are...
First RIDE! Today was another SECA Sunday.... Painted the front fender and FINALLY installed the repaired and re-painted tank. NO LEAKS! :cool:...
“All Motorcyclists and their passengers are operating their vehicles at their own risk. All attendees are expected to operate legally registered...
Searched everywhere and couldn't find a pic of the rear end of a SECA 650 with the "YAMAHA" sticker. Seems these suckers must fall off all the...
Thanks Len. ;) It's actually a little harder than the Screaming Chicken..... Certainly not perfect but I think I can live with it..... [ATTACH]...
UPDATE: I READ THE DIRECTIONS..... Hadn't even taken the decals out of the packaging from Len before I started asking questions here....DUH!...
Floating the decals? XJ Bike Guys (and Gals), Last weekend, I finally FINISHED the painting of my tank(s) to a point where I am very satisfied...
