    Starting to try and keep all my questions in one place:). To start does anyone know if the ignition switches from other xjs will fit on my seca? Thank you

    there are 2 types of switches 3 wire and 5 wire (atari style) 3 wire has a shorter bottom 5 wire has longer bottom mount but the black lock towers are the same so you can swap them if needed.

    all the xjs that have 3 wires will interchange and you can always swap the lock cylinders if needed.

    read this how to
    Clean and lube the ignition switch

    The rear brake/running lights bulbs should be dual-filament (1157 style); the rear turn signals are single-filament (1156).

    Now for the serious questions:
    Is the bike in your avatar your 750? Where did the headlight and gauges come from? A 650? I like it!

    Thank you. It is my bike. The headlight was just something a buddy had laying around. Off a cb750 i think. Thats an old pic though. I wrecked it on railroad tracks so it looks a little different. Its now ice white with a ton of metallic flake.

    I figured it out lol. But i think the drive gear is shot. I can spin the cable on the speedometer side with it full seated

    I had a Yamaha RS100 with a hub driven speedo gear that, upon review of the parts fiche was missing a single washer on the axle assembly that kept the gear engaged with the cable. This washer, I'm sure son PO lost it when changing a flat and never thought it was a big deal.

    There are ears on the speedo drive that have to slot into the wheel hub. If misaligned, the ears get bent and the speedometer drive no worky. The other possibility is that the cable is broken. It can be removed from the sleeve, checked, cleaned, and re-greased. Do that before pulling the wheel to check the speedometer drive.
    Speedometer drives are stout internally, but parts are still available if something has broken.
