Cool , I have a brother in Bellvile
What part of Canada are you from?
Colour tuning would be a good idea now too then possibly another running sync
Sounds reasonable to me , I would think he likely changed the fuel tube o rings , but having those in stock and bought in bulk would be cheap and...
Any chance that you have a good fuel petcock? If so I'm interested
Lmao
Yes, but if you do change a shim roll the cam around a couple times to seat the shim before double checking the measurements . Alan
Does that enrichener plunger look as though it is not seated correctly to you? Just wondering. Alan
Try a bike wrecker / recycler , I believe there is a bike parts recycler in Calgary. I don't know the name but ask around or google it... Alan
I'm sure the oil is checkef frequently, it's not like a brand new car. If it was a 35 year old car one was driving , oil would be checked at least...
The Suzuki 650 that competed with this model used that much oil when nee
I meant burning that amount !!! Not running it continually that way If you didn't understand that , then What else Can I Say????
I agree , do the compression test , and how bad is the smoking really , when the engine is warmed to operating temps and on the road ? If it were...
I didn't think of that , boreing and changing pistons etc, Most mechanics would likely have the head at least looked over as well ,valve grind...
What do you mean a little buzz?
Again spinning over with little resistance
No resistance while cranking does sound like a cam chain , Pull the valve cover off to investigate, It may be possible the chain tensioner is...
Too funny lmao
I think the front suspension is cool and likely would not dive on braking imho
Very well bought, and a very nice looking bike, maintenance is all that these bikes usually need , well designed and reliable , you will have an...
I think the xj bikes were quite popular, in comparison to the competition , although motorcycle sales in general were lower shortly after the...
Looks nice , looks like someone almost made a midnight Seca Alan
Also loosen the axle nut to spread the forks a wee bit tot make a bit of room to slide the fender into place without scratching the paint . Alan
I read of one review of an owner that put 190,00miles on a 650 when he finally parked it , then bought another with about 40,000
Try to find a stock air box and air filter, it will be very very difficult to remedy this and other problems while running pod filters. The cv...
Clutch slipping
Very nice! I would like to see more of that bike!
Swing arm bushings?
And it must be a Seca, or xj750r The maxim came out in 82 and 83 and I don't think it had the Atari instrument and warning cluster. Alan
What type of seat do you want? The 650 Seca has a pretty good stock seat. Although I keep a hand towel under mine for rear passenger seat support....
Or sell the original to someone like me! Alan
That looks awesome, and your attention for details is impeccable! Alan
That's good for me to keep in mind , I think Chacal had said the 650 Seca is quite different ( I would guess ignition advance) would be different...
It looks like the 84 has a larger headlight, but is that correct? Or an illusion? Alan
Btw, use either ONLY if you know what to expect , could be damgerous! Alan
Have any of you used either to seat the tire beads? I have on a few occasions but never on a motorcycle tire.
Hello Mr. Busted Knuckles Do you still have the tci box available? I am very interested for my 650 Seca , I will pm you , if I can ! Alan
So now I'm quite sure it is the igniter or tci box , since I also changed plugs, trimmed back the wires and verified spark on all 4 plugs, now to...
My bike was running great to start the season , then while going to work it began hesitating, stuttering above 6000 rpm, even after switching fuel...
I'm very interested , my bike has been showing the same symptoms, I went through the carburators , this may be what I need
better low and mid range power, peak power is not higher, lower emissions and increases fuel economy
Looks sweet and quite modern.
Looks clean shining and sharp , good job! Alan
Some of the late 70's Kawasaki used the same shims as well as BMW "k" bikes and the Klr kawasaki
Loose swing arm bushings or bearings will also cause a serious speed wobble
What is a piggy bank drain plug ,? I'm curious! Alan
I like to strap from the handle bars back , and strap from the rear of frame forward, then it doesn't really matter if it's on the centre or side...
Have you considered a magnetic tank bag ? I love mine! Alan
I like them , they look like stock, and visibility should be good too , I also like the bars you are using! Alan
Likely either a stuck switch , or you could have the wire or a wire grounding it out, look the wiring over first, I think the switch is under the...
