I'm posting this for my brother who is selling the bike. The bike is as the title says, '82 Yamaha XJ650 Seca. The only caveat is the bike does...
Thanks guys!
'03 VW Jetta. Giving us a deal we can't pass up. And Yeah SL, its the streetfighter 'ish bike. The rain yesterday wasn't so bad, just the cold...
Am I allowed the +1 on that quote or is it too redundant? ;) Trust me, I'm not exactly pleased. When the wife said its not a big deal I told...
So my wife and I are buying a car from a friend that has to quickly move to Hawaii for work in 1 month. We said we would take their car, at a...
Thanks! I can't wait till winter to tear it down to nothing. I want to paint the frame a deep red to offset the black...
THATS IT!!!! I'VE HAD IT!!!! I'm done for now. It is starting to get nice out and I can't stand having a bike sitting around all the time and not...
Full face. Why take the risk of getting any uglier than I am?
XJ900 Looks good if you like the full fairing thing. I almost think this is a relist as I could have sworn seeing this bike before. Some...
Another happy customer here! Amazing service, not to mention helpful!
Grab a metric feeler gauge to check the clearances and make sure that it can gap small enough. from as little as .03mm or so. Valve shim tool from...
They are great! Just got tires and a riding jacket from them...only took a few days to get them, not to mention the great prices. Accessories from...
Just got 5" of snow last night with more rain/snow/sleet on and off for the rest of the week :( This is terrible!!!!
You'd help me out!! (No pressure, of course ;) ) I'm having the issue of my 900 shocks not holding air. A rebuild is in order. I'm not sure what...
How can you tell a tire is a few years old? If its been stored inside/out from the weather is should still look brand new aside from some dust,...
As I personally found out trying that exact thing, they are plenty long enough, just not strong enough. The signals are from Shock Racing and the...
So this past week I got some more work done and just haven't posted yet. Chopped the back end off and stuff. Here are a couple of pics. Camera...
Just ordered Shinko 712's for the 900 based on the reviews from this site and from bike bandit. Can't wait to see how they perform. I have to...
Pulled the cover, checked the valves, I only need to adjust intake #2 and #3, the rest are all in the specified range so its not as bad as I...
Thats what I'm looking at...It's not nearly as bad as I thought. Can I get a valve tool from a local place? Napa, Checker, etc?
Hey all, Well I think I need a valve adjustment since I'm sure the PO never did one due to his lack of maintinence, not to mention I can't hear...
The PO did NOT jet the carbs. Plugs looked brand new when I pulled them and when I threw in the jet kit I pulled the original needles and jets...
Hey all, I'm getting a LOT of condensation coming from my exhaust to the point of it dripping from where the muffler connects to the collector...
I have a 4-1 on my 900 with a shorty pipe. Sounds great up to about 4500 revs. I don't want to take it any farther because it screams so much I...
Here, Here! I raise a glass to that.
And thanks to all the comments! Bad news, my wife started adding up what I've been spending.. S**t has hit the fan...pardon the language.
Thanks Flash. Reason I ask is that mine still doesn't seem to have a lot of power. At all. My 750 could have easily outperformed it at this point...
Drilled mine as well, still working with the jets. I had to replace my fuel sending unit with one from an XJ650 or 750, don't remember which. Goes...
Thanks!
So I've been making slow progress but I am making progress. Waiting on a few parts still to finish things up but its coming together. Front end...
Oh come on, I love cats, although I could never eat a whole one by myself...
It was kevineleven. Search for him on the forum. His build post has 14-some pages.
Now you folks have me scared...I purchased my 900 with pods and a 4 into 1, no idea where the stockers for either one are. When I pulled the carbs...
Nope, just one side. Thought that was odd. And not circular. Looked like a poke-hole almost.
Did someone say moped?! You can find up 150cc mopeds that can cruise at 65 mph, yet still lack the power to go hog nuts at 90+ and popping...
So I have a small hole on the underside of the back of my frame. See pic [img] It is small, about the size of a pebble (can't think of...
I have the fairing off from my Seca 900 that I'd be willing to get rid of if you're interested. Cracked on the side and defenitlely needs to be...
I can't post to the map otherwise I would. I'm down in Madison. My brother just picked up a 650 Seca from there this past week. You may have seen...
As Ron White says "You can't fix stupid" Its all too true. Some laws seem to throw "survival of the fittest" right out the window and substitute...
Just dipped mine tonight. I smell like Diet Coke. SL, Ill let you know what it does to my pipes in a few days...
Read around on the forums and try to gauge if it is in your mechanical skill range. You can find a how-to on darn near everything that you'll need...
And he's selling it... Here
I'm so sorry to hear about that! I sent you that message before I had a chance to read this. Take your time getting stuff back together. Hope...
It is indeed Harpo Marx. If you don't know who he is, you must find out! But, that is another discussion. Good Luck!! And who is in YOUR avatar,...
Yup you can. Make sure you don't have air bubbles underneath otherwise you'll cry every time you look at the thing. Make sure you don't have any...
Thanks for the replies!!! That really clears things up.
My brother just brought home an '82 650 but it doesn't have the YICS on it. Did Yamaha not put YICS on all the bikes or is this a different...
Hardware stores in WI sell 500* ceramic engine enamel by DupliColor in "Low Gloss Finish" Check around, you should be able to find it.(If this...
Stock black? Looks better than my 900 that came stock aluminum.
Flash, will the stripper eat through the duct tape or just masking tape like Time stated? Also, is it alright to leave the aluminum unpainted? I'm...
