    Hi im yamrider from preston in lancashire uk and im thinking of getting a 550 seca, i bought a new one in 81 but sadly while i was still running it in the clutch bearings fell apart and seeing as it was a new model at the time there wasn't a new clutch in the country so anyway im trying again and hopefully with better luck .

    There is no doubt in my mind that failure was an exception to the norm.

    Welcome. Cool pic; amazing how 1980s design is still appealing.

    the UK 550 is a much better version than the US version .
    dual disk, swirl wheels, oil cooler, linkage shifter set up.
