well seems to me that is not a dream for other people:

Very intersting. I do recal reading this now, but had forgotten.

A lot of work, but looking at what some people have done to their bikes on this site, not outside the realm of possibilities.

 

I have a Seca 900 Engine FOR SALE nearing completion.

The Jugs are honed.
The Head is Machine Shop fresh with New Valves, Seats, Guides and Seals.

It had a cracked ring on the two hole and needs the rings, gasket set and wrist-pin keepers.

Other than that ... and the finish of buttoning it up ... and its ready to go!

 

Keep your dirty jugs out of this thread!

 

I got the hard part of Turbo 900 sitting here looking for a wrench that wants to play!

I don't want any more than I have into it and its yours for the taking.
Key work being "Taking"

It will have to be picked-up, because its a heavy little bugger and I can't manage it myself.

I'm selling the whole engine for the $400.00 I have invested in the Head, alone!

 

Oh, you were talking about engine parts. My mistake

 

That's a fair price.

I wonder what shipping would be to the west coast. Here in BC anything over 750cc's more than doubles our insurance. I pay $50 a month for my Seca750. A Seca 900 would be around $120 for the same insurance. The thought of throwing a 900 top end on a 650 lower end is appealing to me. Of course it would be easier to engrave my 650 vin onto the 900. But that would be illegal

 

nevermind. I can't take on another project.

 

So here's the combo- - RickCoMatic's 900 motor, with ported heads, and my turbo bike with 2,400 miles on it!

 

That engine would then truly be elaborated, my friend!!

 

why is not the answer? ...i have found a carbs block from 1983 xj900 a very few dollars, that is waiting for me. :roll:

 

Rick, I'd be seriously interested but it may be a month before I can get it. Where is the engine located?

Damn you all for putting the idea of making my 650 a 900

It's going to drive me nuts.

 

Unless you increase the displacement, you can just re-jet the 650 carburetors, as they are the same as 750 carbs, but with smaller jets- - - 110 Main for 650. . . 120 Main for 750. Good for 82 HP or so.

The 900 carbs would cause tuning adjustment issues, and would only be a good choice if you went "all out" with high compression, big cams, big valves, open exhaust, polished heads, and more timing.

Search for "worldsfastest550" and see what he built.

 

i can't find... where i have to search?

 

Sorry, it's "worldsfastestxj550"
