Totally fair, man. A wiser and more motivated shadetree mechanic might find and stop that air leak... needless to say, it's not me. How does...
K-moe, I bailed on anti-dives after I cracked a housing @ brake bleeder on left side. I've been reverse bleeding (fill mc, then fill rest from...
Hey xj wizards! I know I've seen handlebar mounted MCs on modded 750 secas before, but haven't been able to find a thread. I'm interested on...
If I could, I would buy you both beers, 550H and K-moe. Thanks! Back to ze garage.
Hey- checking back in/doing my dilligence. Read up on XJCD, followed some tips. What worked for me: pulled wheel, pulled fender, re-adjusted...
New kid here. Every time I try to cut a corner with ebay/amazon or a bent bike shop, I am reminded why I pay Len for the right parts, and service....
Okay XJ wizards! Got my front wheel mounted properly, got the MC functioning, new stainless lines, and calipers rebuilt. Working on bleeding now-...
Had a very similar problem for the past day on my 750 seca- MC piston was locked at the top of the cylinder. Could operate it fine when removed...
Quick update- Have obtained enough gap for free wheel spin, but gap is not equal. Going to go out and pump up and down on her more today, as I'm...
Thanks guys! To the garage with aplomb and a plumb (line... or sticks... or whatever.) Appreciate the help!
k-moe- here you go:[IMG]
Thanks for the speedy response guys. I should add that the bike has been down fairly hard before; bent headlight bracket, one bolt sheared off...
Alright XJ Wizards! I've got one I couldn't find on here. I've got an 82 XJ750 Seca. I'm just finishing up front end of the bike. MC rebuilt,...
Ah. Informative as always. Thanks K-moe!
Hey guys! Front end is torn apart for brakes and forks right now. Had to take headlight casing off and got to thinking- has anybody here ever...
Honestly? I paid $700 for mine as a second bike. It barely ran and I thought it was uglier than snot. I hated the prospect of spending money on...
Dayuuuum Ant... I wish I had known those existed. I, like TheCrazyGnat used a combination of spray solvent, a bunch of plastic scrubby pads from...
Yes, Chacal supplies intake mani kits- gaskets, manis, sync port caps and clamps, and even replacement bolts for those gnarly, rusty, ready to...
Maybe a little late getting on the band wagon here- been riding with xj4ever aftermarket intake manis for about 800mi since taking care of valves,...
Shoot. I'm certain I did that six or eight times while tracking down leaks & getting my carbs set. Lazy approach on this bike = bad. I've found...
Hey all, In the process of ordering some bits and pieces for my 1982 xj750 seca, and have seen a few oil coolers floating about on the web. Not...
Thanks for the support guys! Got the old throttle shaft seals in, and did another few bench synchs. After reading a comment in a similar thread...
Edit- will be pulling RTV ghetto throttle shaft seals & replacing with old, given new crazy idle.
Hey there guys, quick update. Did throttle shaft seals the cheap n' dirty way (o rings and some RTV,) replaced float valves and needles, reset...
Yep- about spot on tabaka. I need choke/enrichment to start, then when warm-ish, she'll idle just fine without choke at 1100-1200 with idle adjust...
Thanks Gary & Tabaka, will keep jets the same and change just float needle.
Hey Tabaka, Yes, stock exhaust and air intake. In fact, just replaced carb boots. Idle screw is all the way out, and enrichment is infact closed up.
Hey guys, just got back from seasonal work in the great white north. Hoping to get my ol' 82 xj750 seca running decently this time around. Bike...
Roger! Thanks guys. I'm new to carb tuning/synching, and really appreciate the help. Unfortunately, flying to work in <1hr. Will post back when I...
K-moe, No, set idle speed to 1100ish while cold, then backed off the screw as idle started to race. I take it that I should be controlling idle...
Thanks XH550H! I did scan through that bit in the info overload hour- but felt unsure due to my inexperience. Should have asked earlier, but...
Hey everybody! My ol' 1982 XJ750 Seca is back from the grave! Just did valve shims, valve gasket, head gasket, cleaned carbs, and replaced intake...
Alright guys, time to cut losses and head back north for work (tomorrow afternoon.) If I get time before then, I'll toss up pics of stripped...
Hey! This dude is amazing. I managed to buy a double/triple P.O. downed seca. Carb rebuild led to intake mani's which led to head extraction and...
Found that the ol' propane torch was pretty great at destroying fuel rail o-rings. Pocket knife worked pretty well too. Not really sure how to...
Will do- already tried the PB soak/heat & cool/bolt to a board- that's how I broke the first extractor and moved to outsourcing. Thanks man.
Hogfiddles, just received my replacements from chacal, but outsourced my float bowls to a friend. He's extracting/tapping for me, and I was hoping...
Does anyone know the screw specs for the float bowl plugs?
Roger on the corbin- will do some looking. Have an old Maxim/goldwing seat that fits her, but don't care for it much, comfort wise nor for...
Thanks K-moe! Also, your seca is looking very comfortable to me- might try to do something similar with mine. I appreciate the inspiration! And...
Howdy all, Long time lurker, first time post. I've got a 1982 XJ750 (Seca) that I purchased from an uncle for $700. She's my first highway...
