Slightly different part numbers, but they look identical in pictures.
What is a good aftermarket brand of rear shocks for the 550 Seca that is a good bang for the buck?
I was quoted $100 shipped, R/H panel only to Seattle, WA from Tasmania.
Looks like $140 AUS
Egads! https://seattle.craigslist.org/see/mcy/d/seattle-custom-battery-electric/6782573145.html
There is fellow making fiberglass right hand panel replacements for the 550 Seca on the pertinent FB page. Be-spoke Cycles out of Tasmania...
My current breather pipe from the case to airbox is very stiff and difficult to keep attached to airbox. I can’t seem to find new replacements....
Yup
Thank you to everyone! There is a lesson to be learned to check the wiring of all aftermarket products. A black wire does not always mean a ground...
Single
Yes - the black/white wire is ground to the outer bulb holder and therefore has connection to the aluminum. These are the lights:...
Sooner or later we should meet up. Moving to snohomish this weekend
Finished it! First pic is before (was sitting in a shed for 8 years). Other than the engine, rebuild everything else and made some minor mods....
Here is the two-wired blinker (aluminum housing) [IMG] [IMG] Here is the wiring set up using the original harness with tail light. Both lights...
I will post pics later. There was a blown blinker fuse and I replaced it and it has not blown since.
I have aftermarket rear incandescent blinkers (only running rears with help of an electronic flasher unit). The odd thing is - the right blinker...
Thank you! I seemed to have successfully fabricated one myself using a cookie cutter and a lawn mower filter cut to depth. I’m on a mission to...
After rebuilding carbs and putting bike back together, I realized that this foam element in the airbox pretty much disintegrated upon touching...
Never mind! All good now. A little schmear of Sliquid Silver silicone lube (yes, sex lube) in the manifolds did the trick. And my girlfriend was...
I have my intake boots recessed and the air box loose and pushed back. However, is there a trick to getting the carb rack solidly into the...
Thanks folks! Got it working!!
What brand/model of two pin?
I notice that plugging the cancelation unit back in does not make any difference. So whats the best method of grounding? Slip a wire in the E and...
A while back, I posted that I was going to just run rear candescent bulb blinkers. Removed the front blinkers. I have aftermarket indicators from...
It worked. Pure genius. Thank you!
What can I do with a loose petcock filter screen? Is there a glue that will hold up to gas?
Sorry i don’t have a picture - I am rebuilding an OEM petcock for my Seca. There is a small square gasket for the fuel line banjo that needs...
Thank you! Can anyone point me to a specific brand and model SPDT relay?
I bought some smaller incandescent blinker lights to replace the OEM ones. They worked well on the first mock-up. I decided just to run rear...
Is there a good aftermarket vacuum petcock with an OFF switch as well, like I have on my ‘13 Kawasaki KLR? I like the idea of being able to shut...
Does it help to open the bleed screw when adding new fluid so that it fills the line quickly, then closing and continue filling until reaching the...
Thank you!
I’m about to bleed my rebuilt MC and caliper. What is the fill amount for the brake fluid? To the top of the site glass? Also - opened the brake...
That explains it. Filed it out a bit and fits!
The holes are large enough. They just don’t want to go in deep enough for the pin to engage the holes. I chucked out the old ones a while back.
I am in the process of refurbishing my front brake caliper. The old pads fell out easily, but I am having a hard time getting the brake pad...
I think I figured it out: 14.5 ft-lbs for upper 27.5 ft-lbs for lower
I looked in my service manual but can’t seem to find the torque specs for the upper and lower trees - to clamp the fork tubes.
The wheel is completely off the bike for refurbish. The new bearings were smooth out of the package, so it is definitely a spacer issue. The inner...
This has been a good discussion. I’ll just see how it goes! For what it’s worth - I replaced the bearings as the OEM ones felt very stiff (and...
Followed that, too. What’s interesting is that he says to tap in the new bearings until they go no further.
Using my bearing removal tool, i was able to tap out the left side a tad, so it is still flush enough for the tach drive. Movement is a bit...
That’s exactly what I did and have the extra stiffness as you describe. I guess it’s normal then?
Tapped them in with the old ones and seated them. Wheel does spin, but I was just surprised that I could not turn the inner races freely with my...
Ok, i got the new bearings in, but they are now stiff and hard to spin. The spacer is aligned but I can figure out why it is not freely spinning....
I’ve removed my old front wheel bearings and have two questions on installing new ones - 1. What is the proper sequence of installing the new...
What is a good replacement brand?
Rear is drum. Done.
True, but I have the whole system apart for a reguild.
Nevermind! Found the grease gun method thred
