Cleaning out my cramped garage to see if there is any interest in someone buying the cases I bought for a 1981 Yamaha XJ 750 Seca. No cracks, all...
Hey Everybody, The weather finally cooled a little bit here in AZ, and I noticed that I have drips coming out from where the neutral switch is. I...
And now you have a guard rail to people from diving into....Lake Winnebago?
I dunno...that couch kind of looks like the Titanic to me :)
Hey guys... thanks for the replies. I think I was having an attack of 'old-timers' disease (either that or having three bikes going at once is too...
On my 1981 XJ750 Seca, the mechanical s are all stock, including the carbs; 120 main jets, and IIRC, 40 for the pilots. I have the adjustments on...
I have no memory of all of the 1980's...but probably for different reasons. Accidents suck, I don't think it is possible to be too anal about...
I like the older stuff, irrespective of cost savings. Don't need a payment to own a motorcycle, and I *sure* as heck am not going to pay the...
SOLD!
What they said... thank you for your service.
Mmmm, popcorn. It could almost make up the entire food pyramid...
Happy Memorial Day all, have a safe one. Oh, and never forget hair metal :) [MEDIA]

The carbs.. *OMG*... unfortunately I took them out for servicing. Prior to the Honda, the 'worst ever' award went to a 1980 KZ550 I had; the Honda...
Now I am very scared...

If you have not done so, it would be a good idea to rebuild the anti-dive units. When people block them off I think typically they just remove the...
If it does not have a hole in the end of the grip, you can jam the nozzle from compressed air gun under front/inside edge, as far as you can...
The axle bolt on my 1981 XJ750 Seca looks just like yours, and every time I take it off I use a click torque wrench to put it back on, so I know...
Thank You! I am loving the bike... love the old Yamahas. Now that I have this one (mostly) done, I can start on the XJ900 sitting in the corner :)
Thanks, K-Moe...Yes, I think I could, that is a good idea, Ill give that a try!

No, it is not worth it...send it to me immediately :)
Well, I took a syringe and took some of the brake fluid out of the M/C via that bolt on the back of it....seemed to stop leaking, which seems to...
I took my wifes inspection flashlight from work, which is less bright than a solar flare, and I guess I cant tell where it is coming from. It...
Gee, I was *so* hoping to spend more money on this bike instead of riding it, and my wish came true! Yaaay!! I was bleeding the brakes after...
Finally got it off today. It took 3/4 heat cycles per, more PB Blaster, bigger vise grips, but I got them out. The weird thing, the other side no...
Thanks for the replies...the flats were already rounded such that I could not even get a regular (8mm?) wrench on them, hence the vise grips. Will...
Well, it seemed too easy there at the end, I just had a feeling this bike was going to take one last shot at me. Got my new SS brakes lines, went...
Nice bike! Just out of curiosity...what did it cost for paint decals? I assume they painted, put on decals, and then cleared over everything?
+1 on Rotella, and its only $12.97 /gal at WackoMart :)
Looks good to me...ride it like you stole it :)
