Just in case anyone else needs the info, I posted a couple of pictures in my gallery of where the spacer goes. I also measured it in case someone...
Sorry, you're right, I was using the reference number in the XJ750 service manual picture for the final drive and not the one in his post. The...
If you look at XJBull81's diagram of the final drive, it is No. 1 up in the upper left hand corner. In your photobucket pictures, the first...
In your first picture that shows the final drive with the splines, in the center where the axle goes thru there should be a spacer about 3" long,...
There's a spacer about 3" long that goes in the final drive unit that has fallen out on mine before and is easy to miss getting back in. It does...
If memory serves me correct, there is a locating tab on the collar that keeps it from turning on the tube. I think it is also possible to install...
The vacuum pump is a good investment. They make bleeding the brakes much easier AND the vacuum gauge can be used to perform the old school method...
I hear you on being wimpy, I had to straighten both of mine, you look at them cross eyed and they bend. I just wondered if after you got it cut...
Has anyone ever tried to make a replacement wave washer out of an old 1" tape measure blade, the tape measure blade I measured was very near the...
I fixed mine by bending a 1/16" piece of wire in a "U" shape with a bulb at the bottom of the "U", heated the tips of the "U" to melt thru the...
Thanks Robert, it looked like it was red when I took it apart, but that didn't seem right.
Any one know which threadlock is recommended on the damper bolt and anti dive mounting screws, red or blue? Thanks in advance.
I have mine apart right now, there is nothing easy nor simple about the 750 SECA forks with the anti-dive. The oil lock complicates matter immensely.
I just got mine taken apart this weekend. The flat washer came out with the tapered cone, but no wavy washer, hope they are not damaged or lost, I...
I'm not looking forward to that job either, I do like the inverted spark plug socket. Sounds like a real time saver. I'm tempted to avoid the...
Check the BatteryminderBattery Minder Plus charger/maintainer/conditioner. They work great, I bought 2 last fall and will probably buy some more.
If the piston skirt clearance was too great, didn't they use to knurl the skirts? Haven't heard anything about that in years, probably wouldn't be...
I like the looks and would also like to hear from anyone both pro and con that are familiar with one of these or similar. I plan on taking a long...
Thanks Chacal for not only the quick delivery, but actually having everything in stock that I ordered, maintaining a parts inventory that size has...
In 1981 when the Seca was still new, we rode 1500mi round trip to the Smoky Mtns from Springfield, MO. On the trip we rode what became known as...
This could be a real safety issue without redesigning the swingarm to handle the additional stress
Good stuff, I religiously mix it in the gas for all my engines before storage for the winter. I prefer it to Sta-bil because it is also a cleaner....
Thanks very much for the info, I had actually thought about getting some gold leaf and trying to apply it but don't know how hard that would be....
I accidently peeled the gold off of the upper left arm of the "Y" on the tank badge on my Seca 750. Can the gold leafing pen be used to make a...
I would like to know about this too, my '81 has an amber, and I sure don't want a ticket for something Yamaha did. I am the original owner, and...
Sprayed silicone into intake boots, spread around with finger and sprayed ends of carbs, slipped right in with no prying. Now the boots to the...
I refinished my side covers this summer to get rid of the corrosion on them, and I need ideas on what to use to remount the YICS badges. Corrosion...
What are you asking for each, I would not need the disks
What about the front wheel and rear drive
I might be interested in the front wheel and the rear drive gearbox
Just got my 81 Seca out and trying to bring it back from a 8 year retirement. Looks like me and Chacal will get to be knowing each other real...
