I have a real, baby gator paw on mine. I started my XJ with a copy key I had made that did NOT have the paw attached to it and the bike severely...
I bought mine: I just want reliable simplicity. No plumbing, no anti-freeze. The only think I miss on my Warrior is the shaft-drive....
Giving up? No. It was a vastly educational experience in motorcycling and motorcycle engine theory and practice. These are damn good bikes....
He's not parting it out if that's what you mean. He wants it as a commuting bike.
Geeze...less than a week and I have an offer for full price on the bike and parts. Picks it up Saturday morning. I must've low-balled myself.
Re: Ever been in a bike gang or experience with one? look he Google for "brotherhood of grey beard bikers". It's a website by biker gangs...
Re: For Sale- 1982 XJ750RJ Seca $900 or $700 Yeah..stable's full here too.
Up for sale is my first-ever motorcycle, "Mad Max". "Max" is a Seca not a Maxim, so don't be confused by the name I gave 'im. The Good:...
It is with sincere regret that today I annouce the retirement of "Mad Max", my 1982 XJ 750 (Seca). Max served me faithfully and inexpensively as...
So could he bolt up 32 mm boots to his cylinder head and run 32's? I mean really, how difficult can this be? It's only a 50 cc engine size...
Although you charged the battery, I can't help but wonder if it's failing. The hard starting could be the result of all battery power being used...
Good score man. I love my Seca to death!
Our bikes have this thing called "YICS". Look on the side of your bike, the crank covers say "Yamaha" with "YICS" underneath. YICS means Yamaha...
Kid, do you have the YICS port plug tool? If not, you won't be able to sync the carbs still.
That's it. It's burgers for dinner tomorrow. It'll be sunny and 89F so why not? Back to the real topic here- You can't have a party without...
Damn, good job man!
+1. Find a rough Seca 550, 650, or 750. These make great cafe bikes with less modification than the Maxim's (IMO). If you find a rough one that...
I understand your worries about loosening up large pieces of trash and clogging up your carbies. If you're not already, run an external, inline...
If you don't have one yet, install an external, inline fuel filter. That way you can observe fuel flow to the carbs which will aid in determining...
No-frickin-way! That bike looks awesome! Great score! Lose the sissy bar and Chacal is right! Ride it for the season and give it a more serious...
I learned this weekend that I defintely ride my bike hard. Even with the ups and downs of the mountains in northern MD, I was sipping fuel as we...
First person who gets the movie reference in my title gets a cool thumbs up. I've put 2-3k miles on my bike since I bought it in December, but...
Oye...I can't remember exactly where it is, but I can tell you that it's a tiny, philips head screw with a tiny lock-nut. It does not look like a...
You're over-full. Put the bike on the center stand on a level surface. Look at the sight-glass on the lower, right side of the crank case. Drain...
Pffffft...dude, I'm brand-new here. I take my cues from Fitz, MiCarl, Chacal and several others. From time to time, I sprinkle in my own experiences.
Horn: Adjust the pitch adjustment set-screw on the horn. Press the button as you screw it in and out, that'll loosen up the diaphram and make it beep.
Fuel tank: You're missing the rubber buffer and two-piece metal clip that holds it down. Headlight bucket- Yes, it's a mess. Everything...
The bike's value to YOU is the only thing that matters. In for a dime, in for a dollar. Get the parts and fix your bike.
Hey man, you laid a bike down and walked away! You done good. Take up oddball's offer and check out the 1100. I'll bet you can get it running for...
I have recently rehab'd my instrument cluster and speedo cable. I've checked myself against GPS to check the accuracy. I can tell you that 7k is...
To quote Monty Burns- "Exxxxxcellent".
Anyone heard of the Stebel air horn? They seem to be popular with bikers. They are 139 Db's of attention-grabbing, cager-pants-pooping noise. I...
Well, the fact that it stops when you disengage the gearbox with the clutch should provide a clue. Do our bikes have the equivelant of a...
Sorry man, I think it's a good bike. I'd offer him $1750 cash and see what happens.
I can't complain. My co-worker was totally honest with me. He made me no promises, he helped me re-assemble the bike and getting running so I...
Trax, It's good that you can put it back if you wanted to. Enjoy the bike. :)
Man...that bites. It's not that far from me and I'd love to own one that clean. Good tires, nice seat. Has the yellow fog light that I like....
When using a title service, don't you run the risk of someone who has the title saying "Hey! That's my bike and I want it back!" ? Even if the...
I think that rat bikes like this definitely have a place in the biking world. I like them. I just believe that there are enough thrashed bikes to...
Mmm...I feel that you're my buddy if you're on two wheels....IF you're not acting like a f---tard. When I roll down to Annapolis on the weekends,...
It looks solid. I'm a Seca fan. Looks like an easy project. I've recently found that the Dennis Kirk website has several exhaust options.
From my recent personal experiences, plus all the reading from the guru's here, I see that there is some room for negotiation here. I think it...
Oh, thanks for the reference to Dennis Kirk. I'd never heard of it and found many tempting, affordable exhaust options for our bike.
Sorry man. Work and reserve duty overloaded my a--. Ok, I definitely have 8 plates not including the final cover plate on the end. I do not have a...
ktcubed- You crack me up man. I can only imagine the scene: "Excuse me sir, you dropped this in my lap." After showing it to him, I'd have...
Are you running a stock sized front tire?
On nearly every other vehicle it IS an airway restricting device. Our bikes are the first vehicles I've encountered that does it this way. Not...
In the years before I actually bought a motorcycle, I always envisioned myself as a hard-core heavy cruiser fan. Harley-Davidson or bust. I...
Ok, hang on. If you have a warm engine and then just flip on the choke, you're dumping extra fuel into the stream. Mine almost dies if I do the...
"get it on the road"??? If he feels that the carbs are so perfect that they're worth 400 bones, then the bike was road-worthy before he ever...
