Chacal's got it. The steering geometry will be different with a 650 Seca front end as the axle is under the forks instead of forward of the...
I've got an '82 XJ650 maxim and a complete Seca dual disc front end that I picked up with the bike as well as an extra front wheel with a larger...
Looking to pick up a bike while traveling in mid December, depending on how the COVID things go. Looking to rent, borrow, or buy a trailer in a...

That’s a good saying, I like it. I ended up grabbing a Time-Sert kit. It was a bit spendy, but it is an amazing tool. Quickest, most straight...
HAHAHAHAHA!
Yeah, my bike doesn't stay clean. With the roads I tend to find myself on, I would spend more time cleaning than riding. Looking to pick up a...
Not enough threads for a chaser. That is probably part of what got it to the shape it is in currently. Most of the threads came out with the plug...
Did a bunch of maintemance on my ‘82 XJ650 today and decided that I should have a look at the spark plugs before taking off on a ride. Turns out I...
After talking with Len ( @chacal ) earlier this week, it appears that the front end I got with my XJ650 Maxim is not the XJ750 front that I was...
I know I'm pretty late to the game here, but some of the posters early on had a lot of questions that I believe were geared towards trying to...
This one is a few towns over. https://westernmass.craigslist.org/mpo/d/great-barrington-1983-yamaha/7161928514.html
Got some parts from Len on the bike earlier in the week (throttle tube, clutch lever, and clutch safety switch). Throttle tube was a little tight,...
Thanks for updating. I’ll have to keep an eye on this and see how things are in another month or so before making a decision on going.
Thanks. I’ll shoot you an email. I was scanning your parts list, but must have missed it.
This looks like it should be fun. 15+ hour ride and about 1,000 miles to get there, but I’ve got plenty of vacation time and a late start to the...
Apparently I’ve only got reception in the garage and on the toilet. (still in the garage)
The throttle tube I believe (having internet access issues at the moment, difficulty looking things up). The plastic part that goes over the bar...
Pulled the bike out for the first ride of the season to go get new tires after taking care of all the maintenance a few weeks ago. There is a...
I was pulling my ‘82 XJ650 out of an alcove in the garage (just wide enough to tuck the bike in, so I need to roll it out by the handlebars...
I was just hoping for a link. You guys are great! This site has been an invaluable resource for the couple of months I have had the bike. I’ll...
Been searching for a bit, but I’m not coming up with anything useful. Borrowed a Carb Tune from a guy at work so I can synch the carbs. Does...
