    I have for sale 1983 Yamaha xj 900. It does run but needs to have gas tank leaks repaired. It leaks on both rear corners of the tank. I will post pictures as I have time. It’s mostly all original with a few minor exceptions. It is almost complete but missing the small fairing pieces as well as two side plastics. I purchased one which is a different colored red than the bike. I purchased the gas tank separate but it is the matching gas tank, reupholstered the seat as well as new tires and also have 3 hard travel bags that I will post pictures of as well when I get a chance. Make me an offer, trying to find out what it’s worth, thanks, Chris

    A) you are going to miss it severely when it's moved on to a new caretaker.
    B) what sort of price are you looking to get for it?

    Honestly I don’t think I will. Circumstances of life prevent me from enjoying it anyhow, it has sat parked in my garage for an entire year without anytime to work on it as I’m a single dad to my girls and have full custody. Just on a realistic note, I’ll probably miss it some but I just haven’t got the time to fix the tank or really enjoy it.

    Guessing this sold already or you changed you mind? Sent a PM and have heard nothing for a week or so. Good luck on the sale or if you plan on keeping the bike.

    I'm just down the road in Minneapolis and have 4 of these lovelies and some spare parts including 2 fuel tanks. I tried selling 2 of the bikes last summer but nobody was offering near what they were worth.

    I had to get divorced a while back (luckily no kids) before I could get back into motorcycles. New wife understands and now I have 6 kids and 9 classic motorcycles. Feel free to contact me if you need any assistance with your 900.

    I'm in Crystal. Looks like you have a 650 Seca. This summer is going to be busy for me as I'll have 2 teenagers that will start riding!

    Want to buy a 900 Seca?

    Want to? Yes

    Is it in the cards this year, sadly no. I feel your pain with the teens. Mine are 19 and 16, sadly no spousal support for them riding (which makes no sense to me because one rides horses.....).

    Hey Chris, I’m going to send a private conversation to you. I’d like to see if yours is already on the 900rk Registry. If not, I’d like to get it logged in.
    Thanks
