Thank you so much. I love this place. This happened just over an hour ago and I already have an answer. :)
Had a friend help me get my bike going this afternoon, and as she was idling this happened: [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Any idea where this...
I have 4 miles on the odometer since my last fill up, and I fill it to the opening mouth of the tank. So I still have plenty left. But definitely...
It's not pretty, XJ550H.
My father came into the house this morning and told me to check in the garage. Apparently overnight my 82 Seca Turbo decided to just have a...
Hi Again. It seems my Turbo is back to the same issue. It's been a good two or three weeks since I've taken it for a ride, and I noticed just...
Alright. Thanks. I thought it might be something like that.
As the title says, I notice that during quick accelerations and occasionally when engaging the turbo, my oil light comes on for a split second...
Added grease and put the starter back together, and the headlight is back on. Thanks!
[ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH] Like this?
Took apart the starter and noticed this bent wire going to my engine cutoff switch. [ATTACH]
Is this what the bulb plugs into directly? If so, I replaced it. Otherwise, where would this be located? I followed the headlight wire all the...
Hi there again! Haven't had much time to look at the bike here is what I have to report: I checked the fuses under the seat: all look in great...
So, just to confirm. Check the starter switch on the right and make sure the connections are good, then check the light switch on the left?
Alright. So my meter lights aren't working, but my directionals on the front of the bike are working and the Turbo's gas/battery/oil check display...
Nope. Neither light, high and low beam, are working.
I went with this title since I've had an interesting predicament with my headlight. I was riding my bike when the blue highbeam notification on...
Well it's Friday and I've taken the bike out to ride and kept an eye underneath the bike for any new oil leaks. Everything looks good so far. So I...
Changed the oil on the bike, drained it out, new filter, cleared out the relief valve and put it all back together. Was a pain with removing the...
Interesting! Thanks for the help. I think I'll go with the 20w50 then from Valvoline....
Alright. So I'm going to drain my oil and attempt to clean out the relief valve. Anyone have recommendations for motor oil to use? I noticed that...
Thanks for all the responses! And I am glad to hear about the warranty in case of a worst case scenario. So, I'll start off addressing the issue...
Thanks for the explanation. It was one of the rebuilt units from XJ4ever.com. I am just amazed that it let go after only a handful of rides....
Pretty much. It's where the exhaust pipes dump into the turbo, and there is oil seeping from it. I know nothing about turbos either, but as far...
This is some major bad news if you're right. I just had the Turbo unit replaced back in February which is even more disappointing. On another...
A much clearer look at the spot. [ATTACH]
Went to go take my bike out this morning and noticed a puddle of oil beneath my like and a leak between my exhaust and turbo. I know it's not...
Just a photo showing the condition of the windshield.
Hi there! I was wondering if anyone had recommendations for cleaning the Seca Turbo Windshield. Mine looks worn and faded, and looking through it...
Anyone buy aftermarket handlebar grips for their Seca Turbo? Mine has these atrocious foam grips from the previous owner that are almost...
Thanks! I was planning on using the odometer for planned gas stops. My issue was that sometimes my sensor would drop down saying I needed fuel...
I was wondering if anyone knows of a way to correct the gasoline sensor an '82 Seca Turbo 650 so that it gives me an accurate reading on the...
I can confirm any fuel pump works. Mine wasn't functioning and my mechanic put a standard bike aftermarket replacement.
Thanks for the response! I actually do not know the total miles on the Turbo. Its in excellent exterior condition and was told by the previous...
I bought an ‘82 Seca turbo last year. Got her running, rode for two weeks, then have had an onslaught of issues. The bike ran out of gas, so I got...
Hate to revive an old thread, but does anyone happen to have photos of their XJ headlight assembly on a stock/naked bike? I'm trying to get an...
So I've had the bike going a few weeks now and am starting to look into parts. How would one go about mounting turn signals like this:...
Got it off and replaced! Thanks.
Hey everyone! I recently got my 1981 Yamaha XJ650 Maxim on the road (new wheels and all) and was having a blast. I decided to make one final stop...
I just purchased my first bike, a 1981 Yamaha xj650 maxim. The bike came with a vetter windjammer kit that is huge and really not in my style, but...
