How did you get here?

Did some research before I got my XJ but never signed up until I had problems with the bike.

More or less problem solved...

 

By shear luck..after purchasing my Xj 750 maxim..searched the internet..and wala..xjbikes popped up...the rest was history.. :wink:

 

I found the site while googling info to get my 700 running. I've got to say, this site is full of some great info. It's the most informative forum I've come across. Usually I hate forums because they're full of useless garbage but that's definitely not the case here. Keep up the good work!

 

Googled the 1982 Maxim 750 while checking one out on craig's list.
Book marked the site.
Signed up same night after buying the Maxim

 

tapped my mouse once and clicked my heels three times and said theres no place like home. Hahahahahahahahah. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

No thats not true, I'm a middle aged fat guy with nothing better to due after work. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

No but seriously, just typed in xj650 in dogpile search engine and found site. I've got to say I really enjoy the site.

A number of years ago I was a skinny guy though.

 

i ran across this place right before i finished up reading the whole internet lol

 

I googled "Yamaha XJ forum" and this site was the top site listed.

 

Hi to all. First post on this forum.

Wife has been looking for a bike for a while now while she's working on her license. (She's a great passenger but I think she's getting tired of the back of my helmet) She stumbled across a '95 Seca, hardly a scratch on it w/ only 10,000km on it for $2200 so she snapped it up. It's a bit tall for her, so we've been looking for ideas to make it fit. I typed in "Seca Forums" in Google and lo and behold...

I ride a 650 VStrom and found a lot of help on the Stromtrooper forum, so I figured it would be a good idea to join up here also.

Cheers

 

I picked up my first Maxim 650 in the spring and loved it. The PO neglected alot of things on the bike and it needed some attention. I googled My bike with the word repair after it and found this site's XJ repair CD set. I browsed the forums and immediately felt at home. Great bunch of guys with the knowledge to help me get my bike running better and CHACAL for the awesome parts list for my bike.

Thanks for all the hard work and input everyone has put into this site making it easier for all of us

I found it through fixya.com, was asking for a repair manual for an 84 Maxim 400. Response was to try Chacal at XJBikes.com.

No manual though.

 

A friend heard I had bought a seca, and told me to come on here to learn how to fix it up.

 

i found this sight from the guy who wanted to trade the bike to me. its a good thing he told me about your great sight too cuz it really helped talk me into the trade.

 

I love cafes and these XJ's can make some mean ones. The fellas over at dotheton.com spread the word often when it comes to xjbikes.com
Thats how I found you.

 

like i always do, anytime i get a new bike i google forums for that bike & wala there it was ! 8)

 

I found your site with a google search "1982 yamaha seca 550". I recently acquired one after being offered it in trade for an old cube van.
So far, new battery and flush old gas. Bike fired right up after sitting in the back of a pickup for over a year. I now can tell anyone interested exactly what happens to one of these should it start WITHOUT a number three pilot jet installed. Needles to say actually glad I put off the oil change till I tried to fire it. It will run,,but I suspect not for long. Still trying to decide if I want to change it at all, or ???? Lots of ideas here. Its not cherry,,,but its complete and in fair original condition. Well complete as long as po returns with left side cover and air box lid when he pics up the van. I am looking for exhaust suggestions.

 

just searching with google, looking for info on my 82 xj650 seca. I am trying to find out what the "G50" below the "Seca" badge on the side covers is a designation for. picked it up for $800 (us) with only 8100 miles on it.(seriously!) I am wondering if it is too special to modify. don't wanna screw up a collector or anything. did a 230 mile run on my last day off. runs great.
glad I found you.

 

The side cover badge actually reads "Seca 650", not "G50"...........the number "6" is stylized version, and appears as the letter "G"!

 

OK. Wow. I feel a little dense. Hahahah. And I am supposed to be an artist!
Thanks Chacal!
What isn't funny is that I have actually downloaded a font called "Seca" using that font. Shoulda known better.

 

Google, of course.

 

Found this site on bing search... Looked at many sites with useless info and then found this site Took me a while to become a member the site would not let me register for about two months but i have had the pleasure of seeing some of your guys's builds and its helped with my xj650.
