once the boots are pushed back, the carbs can be rocked up and down as you pull them out. they come out easily like this. dont forget to loosen...
It’s not a problem if your local police will sign a vin verification. I did the VT registration loophole. It’s pretty easy. I’d still only pay...

Yes colortune did wonders for me. It used to take 5 or so minutes to warm up in the summer. The po had the carbs too lean. Now it warms up...
Mac has a 4-2
It went for around $3.8k the second time around. Looks like it passed the reserve this time.
That’s sweet getting those numbers having it been first seized. Congrats !
Yeah, for an eBay listing, I was impressed with the sellers detailed history of maintenance. She is a looker.
Dave I wanted to let you know there is a nice xj900 with serial listed on eBay You may already know about it. Hope u are well. (Thought u may...
I sea very cool build. I’m trying to wrap my head around the steering. I wonder if there is a video on how it works ?
What sorcery is this?
A real beauty but “always draws a crowd”. Lol
are you in southern nh? I want this bike but there’s no way I could sell the #2 maxim in time to be able to pick up this seca
Oh that awful matti. Sending you best wishes for a speedy recovery.

Wish someone made double walled header pipes. See how these blue so quickly. Still looks great tho
Where did you get the new (used) ignitor? Mine had corrosion on the ignitor contacts and on the corresponding connector contacts. Cleaning them...
Found a great deal on a virago 920 front wheel and tire. It’s a 110/90 but fits nicely on the xj 650 maxim. My old wheel was a bit warped....
Sounds like it’s running a bit too lean. If it’s is running and idling well when warmed up it may just need color tuning. I had exactly the...
Nice bike. Too bad it’s not near New England.
I guess it boils down to how you would feel putting on a properly working used pair. Would you feel at ease? If so, go for it. These bikes have...
I don’t think it would similar to buying used brake pads. Significant safety issue there. You could spend $25 delivered on a good looking used...
I take it you know him?
Did you catch the two seca 750 in nh? One is silver and the other red. Same guy. I have a couple of maxims and am ready to make the plunge with...
Good deal. I picked up a maxim that “needed a starter clutch”. Just a degunk and oil change did the trick. Was lucky
More often they’ll strip before a cracked casing happens
Reads to me like he doesn’t want to ship. Local only
Coming along nicely. How far with the “midnight” look are you going?
Midnight Seca, I like the sound of that. Pics ?
Installed the new speedo/tach on the red xj650. If it weren’t for the mileage on the new one, I’d thought I was installing new old stock. So...

I remember that beautiful resto you did. Sad to read this but I’m glad you’re ok
I remember seeing this vid a few months ago. He says something about taking off the stock exhaust and putting on a 4-1. That stock exhaust looks...
I recommend getting just the VT registration then doing a reg transfer to your own state. It is easier. (I got a MA title for my bike that way)
It is cool and much cheaper than using a title company. Basically VT just wants the bike cleared by your local police or RMV that it hasn’t been...
I didn’t apply for a VT title, only registration. Once I received the VT plate and registration I had what the MA rmv required to reg and title...

Fantastic, thanks man!
I think you may be talking about this site with the black background....
I did the VT reg loophole. There is a well know article that says you need to notarize the bill of sale. That is incorrect. Let me know if you...
As you probably know the wires coming out of the tach are 4; orange blue black and brown. I think I’m good with the black and brown. Should I...
Try unplugging this diode block in your headlight. Just to do a test. I’ve been running my 2nd xj for a while without it and it disables a few...
That would be nice to meet other xj enthusiasts. I hope to make it this year. If there will be others doing a valve adjustment I’ll definitely...
You mean the inner part of the flange that the gasket sits flat on right? ( as you stated, measured without gasket)
Beautiful but for £10k I’d rather stick with my classic xjs!
Great idea; so much better riding the back country roads, although I may save that for the ride back because I’ll want to arrive asap
Looking forward to this year’s clinic. I hope Dave will have it again. I just found out I can stay right on rt 90 all the way from MA to Utica...
I haven’t seen this yet on YouTube but I find it much easier to attach the little colortune plug to the long stiff wire that is enclosed to get...
This is actually a very interesting bike. An 83 seca xj900. Says it came from Canada....
