I sold the bike. It has 4:1 pipes. I am now selling the stock chrome pipes.
Decent condition. Some pitting but no major rust and no holes. Off 1981 Seca. Comes with heat wrap up to cross over. Pick up in Toronto,...
I'm letting go oF my xj750. She runs well. Lots of upgrades and new parts. Located in Toronto, Ontario. Only $1200 CDN certified. See on...
I cleaned starter button contacts last year, but good point on removing the solenoid wires. It keep churning, even after turning off the key so I...
Last weekend I was trying to start my Seca. After a few intervals of running the starter (10 seconds at a time so I don't burn the starter), the...
Tempting, but I think I'll stick to running with scissors and drinking expired milk. maybe it is an age thing..
HeyXJ, I have the same 82'Seca. Barn find for a few hundred a couple years ago and after some TLC and rebuild, riding her constantly. Solid...

That's a great idea! Thanks for the link.
BTW- same guy had an xj650 already cafe'd up, painted frame and lots of aftermarket goodies. Small wiring fix and good to ride. He wants $1000...
Knowing all the things that might break, I'm considering tieing a spare XJ to my back when I ride so I always have a spare of everything !! :D:p
Gents, Found a guy 1 hour away !! with a cable. Back on the road this morning. Thank you for all the feedback. FYI - I tried drilling through...
Good point on bike shops. Try that tomorrow. Re ride without clutch. Did that to get me to where I could leave it for pickup. Too risky for...
I agree. But to get me through weekend, might try repair.
It broke right at the lever where the cable connects to the knob. Anyone every braze one back on ?
Hey XJ people around Southern ontario. I was riding today and clutch cable snapped. We planned big riding for the long weekend and all shops...
Um.. what kind of website is this ?? Lol..
Has anyone seen mesh pants with internal armour ? The jackets are so much more comfortable in 80-90F temp, why not pants ? I refuse to wear...
Never mind, found it under side cover.
I sprayed a silicone lube and it helped, although still not 100%. The rubber boot is torn so moisture gets in. I had a couple incidents where...
New caps, $35. Rubberized waterproof aerosol spray, $ 25. Dielectric grease $ 5 Good advice...priceless. Bike is now idling better, smoother...
I replaced the caps with new NGK. They each ohm'd at 4.3-4.9. Trimmed wire 1/4", added dielectric grease and sprayed coils & wires with...
What should my coils Ohm out at ? If I check the complete assembly, any idea what ohm i should get from plug cap to power feed into the coil ?
Next on my to-do list is electrical. I read the above article about replacing wires, etc. I'd rather get a complete package of coils, boots,...
Where's the XJs? Haven't seen one. Still looking for Simmy if you're here.
Off to Vintage Bike show tomorrow in Paris (Ontario, not the lesser important Paris..) tomorrow. Hoping to meet Simmy and a few other XJrs....
being as I replaced my front brakes I realized that the left caliper is not working. Decided to take it apart in the hopes that it just needs a...
Being an order bike, the more I ride, the more little things come up.. (sounds familiar ?) Last couple of rides my kickstand sensor won't...
There's the answer I needed. Yes, lower bars, but didn't change the cable. It's barely long enough as is. I HAVE been constantly adjusting idle...
i'll take pics and send. Thx
Thank you. I'm going to try that as well. New grips helped a lot already, but the washers should reduce high frequency buzz.
I'm slowly tuning and improving my xj750 idle and low end power. After changing bars and rerouting cables a few times, cabe run is about as clean...
New grips came in today !!! Installing tonight and pumping the bars with caulking. Tough to find a specific butyl Rubber caulk. Looks like...
I've ordered grips and going to do the butyl injection tonight. (sounds medical) Thanks for the feedback. If I can cruise at 110 without...
Thanks for your comment. I thought about a larger tire, but affects would be minimal AND just got new rubber. I'm actually getting...
Had a great Saturday ride around part of Southern Ontario. BTW - On my XJ750 I'm consistently getting 50mpg and I ride pretty hard. Now that we...
Great Article. Thank you for taking the time to write this. I'm going to repost in my riding club facebook page.
Thanks guys. "proper" dose of sea foam ? I'm running semi-syn now. How much is a proper dose , or is this listed on the can ? I've replaced...
Me again.. The red warning light comes on with my XJ750SECA when ever I hit a low speed bump. One answer is,, I avoid low speed bumps. :cool:...
Thanks. I'm interested. If you have a pic available, please send. We may be at the vintage show in June. Going to check out local B&Bs for...
Nice job on the carbs. Been there on my 81 Seca. I agree the original bars are not comfortable and padding looks like something out of...
I actually sold a complete engine (minus carbs) to a guy in hamilton last year for next to nothing. If you still need this, I can try and track...
Simmy, Do you run a bike garage and service bikes are just for personal bikes ? If you're an "XpertJ for hire, I may look you up for a seasonal...
2 years ago I found a brand new Yamaha riding jacket with body armor and all at a church garage sale. $30 and fit me perfect. "sold" I hadn't...
So true. The old "are you out of gas" saying as the first thing to check. lol..
I've been struggling with my XJ750 managing a smooth low idle and power transition during takeoff. Played with carb/idle settings, tried to...
Sounds like your starter circuit is draining electrical power that should be going to your CDI or "spark generator" I forget the term. When you...
I'm running semi-synthetic. My $.02 is engine is quieter and smoother than with non synthetic and changes gears better. I do notice a little...
I actually soaked the carbs for 24 hours using pinesol. Read this by a few people as a good alternative and environmentally better. I was very...
I didn't break the rack to check/replace the seals. That could be my issue. Looks like a saturday afternoon carb re-re-build is on my menu. I...
