Wanted Titled frame

I'm looking for titled frame or roller in northern new Mexico. 81-82 xj maxim or 82 xj seca. I have an
82 seca engine with only 8k miles and I'd like to build a bike around it.

 

what size motor do you have.

 

I have an 82 xj650rj seca motor with 8k on it. So, I'm looking for an 81-82 xj650 maxim or xj650 seca
titled frame or roller. Excuse me for not being more specific.

 

Remember the '82 650r was a non-YICS engine. The 650 maxims were non-YICS '80-81, and YICS '82-83. So if you get a loaded roller, be aware of the differences.

Also, the shifter linkages and covers are different between 650r and 650 maxim

 

So If I get an 82 maxim frame I won't be able to install a seca engine in it ? I thought the frames were
the same. Right now I have both an 82 650 maxim and an 82 650 seca.I guess I'll have to do some measuring.

 

I was looking for a bare titled frame because it's less weight to ship. There are plenty of parts here but it's almost impossible to
register a bike in New Mexico without a title. Last spring I built an xj650 maxim out of an 81 parts bike and an 82 titled frame
I still have that parts bike frame left over but can't do any thing with it because it has no title. Maybe I'll do a search of Southwest
USA salvage yards and get a completely stripped seca frame shipped to me or keep looking for one around Santa Fe and Albuquerque.

 

I didn't say the frames were different. I said there are differences between YICS and non-yics engines. To name a few--possibly the mounting hardware, shifter cover/linkage, wire harness, jetting, intake boots....etc......

You need to check all the differences so you know what to change as you swap (if you're changing from YICS to non-yics......

 

No problem hogfiddles you have always been helpful in the two years I have paticipated in the xjbikes forum. No matter whether I use a 650 maxim frame
or a 650 seca frame, I will have to use a lot of seca parts like the central exhaust crossover and the rear footpeg frames but I will probably
mix in as many maxim parts as I can get away with. Having two maxims and a seca helps with measurements.

 

There's another difference-

650 maxim-no collector box. 2/1 receiver for each muffler and receiver is an integral single part with the muffler, and integral two-piece crossover tube

650 Seca - collector box, and is unique to that model

 

How much do they normal go for some one around me has an 82 xj maxim 550 it runs nd said I can buy it for 400 idk if I think it's a good price

 

If it's in running it may be a decent price, but what is "running condition"?

$400---running condition

Runs but only firing on three cyls, lots of dent, rust, missing parts, torn seat, hacked wires....Offer him $150.00


Running decent, higher miles, no record of service/carbs cleaning/shims....offer $$300-350, be ready with the $400 if he hold the line

Runs well, Excellent condition, nice chrome, no dents, tears, all maintenance records ..... $why are you just standing there -give him the $400 and skeedaddle Before he can change his mind

 

It's like the IKEA commercial
"Start the car, start the car"

 

Lol I'm waiting on the guy to call me now it could be worth it ecspecially since the parts for my 85 700 front end aren't around or are priced to high

 

Don't expect the 550 parts to fit your 700 though...

 

I know I wanted another bike I am think ing about parting out my.700n any ideas how much the motor could.sell for

 

What's wrong with your 700?

 

I have a complete front fork and clamps

 

What exactly do you need for your 700 I have one in the driveway that I'm parting out?

 

I've got an 82XJ650 Seca frame. All intact. Hell, I'd trade it to someone for a case of decent beer just to clear space out of the garage. I'm in New England though.

 

I'm gunna post a picture up of it now but the front forks are bent bad and probably the frame but the engine runs good

 

I don't know where to get a frame near me and idk if the salvage yards have anything I try top call most of the list I got is outdated but I need the money to get a car or a place to fix it so ill either fix it quick or try to or part it out how much is a engine worth

 

OP, I saw you mention you're in northern New Mexico. I'm in Santa Fe. I have a 1981 XJ750 seca that was just in a wreck - front forks bent and some other things broken but frame and engine seem fine, still runs, has a title. I don't know if you're interested in coming and having a look, I don't know what to do with it. I need major knee surgery since the crash (car pulled out in front of me) and my riding days are over. I've attached a pic of it since the crash.

 

Private message me with your name and phone # I'll call and make a time to see it.

 

Mine int as bad as that how can I tell if my frame is bent
