Thanks for the advice, i do have a multimeter which headlight plug socket is for positive and which is for negative? I'm a tad spooked I might...
So I tried the paper clip and some wire but still nothing. I have a replacement headlight relay to test but it didnt work. I noticed my...
I'll try and make this. Bike is good enough to make a long trip and my carbs still aren't perfect. Already put 1000 miles on it
Installed progressive suspension for the front end since I was getting a death wobble at like 85+ on the highway. It kind of fixed the issue. I...
What gauge wire should it be? I'm not too familiar with the electronics work Also I removed the Headlight fuse to see if my Atari would register...
i think I can chime in. If flipping bikes is the game then I think searching around for the right bike is very important, something that can be...
Nickel NGK plugs cause they're like 2 bucks each i just buy a bunch of them
Wow! Heaps of information! Thanks a lot! All of you!
Hi all, Before I go rooting around in my stator, I checked the 3 white and 2 brown/green wires. They weren't perfectly in spec but they aren't...
Happy you got it running. I haven't checked my stator but I'm only getting 7v at the headlight and I checked everything else so perhaps my...
Thank you for the inspiring words haha. Fiddling with stuff until it works is certainly a rush of dopamine, though there's been a few close calls...
You're 100% right. I was just hoping perhaps, if I'm lucky, someone with a similar situation might drop in and say "hey! easy fix, replace...
Hi all, Been working on my headlight. I replaced the diode, the relay, the bulb, the fuse and still nothing from the headlight or the aux. In...
I'm curious how you fix this. Hoping you figure it out. My headlight and aux also wont turn on. I replaced the bulb, replaced the headlight...
Hi yall, I noticed my bike needs a tiny tiny bit of throttle to start up when warm, otherwise it puffs a bit then stalls. Otherwise it runs...
:( oh man, yea I have a RH side cover panel but the tab that fits into the tank is missing so I've been looking for one. There's tons of LH cover...
1982 XJ750 Seca
Hi, Would you happen to have a RH side cover panel for the XJ750?
Looking for the Right Hand Cover Panel for the 82 XJ750 Seca, it covers the battery side. Any color will do, Silver would be preferable though.
Hi yall, I was having issues submitting my VIN for insurance, they were requesting a 17 digit number, my title has 9. So I called up my insurance...
Good news, Removed those old jets with new nice ones. Synched the carbs, colortuned as best I could and took her out on the highway. Runs great!...
Indeed, if all else fails. I could bring this carb over to the clinic. Though that's a while away. I'm confident I can finish this before next...
Well, I'm a fool. The butterfly valve is like that because it was synched with the others. It should only be an issue if it wasn't synched. So...
It feels like I'm riding a smaller CC bike at the moment. Getting to 30 mph takes some time and a change of gears. Granted, I never rode an XJ750...
Hey ya'll Been riding the bike around, sealed up any oil leaks but there's been a lack of power. I attempted a colortune but two of the cylinders...
Hey Franz, I don't remember if the seal had a lip or not but I replaced everything in the engine, most likely I ordered those parts from...
Took a while but the bike is finally "done". I synced carbs the best I could though not perfect, I didn't colortune yet though. I'm still a bit...
long time no see. I'm fixin' to install new valves and springs myself. I handed it off to a shop but its been months and they haven't even...
Trust me, I didn't want to. But since the valve fell into the cylinder, the engine couldn't be turned over. So I couldn't turn the cams, get...
Hey all, Bores look good. Everything looks fine from what I can see. except for the little dent on the piston. The old cams had an issue. The new...
You're right, def not lucky. As this is gonna cost a lot of cash... but lucky enough that I think there is no head damage. Took off the head to...
i would patch it up with some of that exhaust tape. if that is the only issue with the muffler. the only reason i replaced my muffler was because...
Haven't taken the cylinder head apart yet but here's the culprit. Snapped at the cotters. When I pull the valve out I guess we'll find out what...
if there's spark then it's compression issue or the cylinders aren't getting gas. check the plugs r wet with gas
Nice to know. I'll keep that in mind when I color tune the bike. I did a little diagnosis to see if the engine was seized...Before I left, it...
Ran the bike before I left for a bike trip to the Midwest and you guys were right. The spinning was no issue once the bike was on the ground. I...
hairdryer, 100 percent. Warm up the boots on the airbox side then push the boots into the airbox , just enough so they don't fall into the airbox...
So, I've tightened up the free play on the lever. It's basically zero now. And put some miles on the clutch means I should ride the bike? Isn't it...
I was able to align the splines. Gave a 3mm free play at the lever. This should allow more range to pull the clutch. Yet, the rear wheel still...
Fooling around with the clutch again and I lined up the marks as best as I could. It's about one spline off. I'm not sure if this is OK or not...
I think you should buy a Hayne's manual on your bike. Most of the stuff isn't as difficult as you think. And sometimes shops.... can do a poor...
Idle speed set too low? Are all cylinders firing? The last thing I'd do it check the carbs again. I re-checked my carbs and although I know the...
I got the idle to sit around 1050 with the idle screw. Getting ready to check vacuum synch and color tune the carbs. With that whole blanking tool...
About to take a ride from New York City to Brighton, Michigan. About 700 miles. I hope to make it there in one day rather than split it into two....
Got the bike to run without choke. One of the spark plugs wasn't firing so I just replaced all of them. It holds an idle around 1400-1600 rpm....
Been adjusting the mixture screws. Turned them out to around 3 1/4. Starts up on fully open choke. Revs up to maybe 2k. I let it sit around there...
Had a small break from work so I decided to start up the engine. See how it is. Cylinder 3 doesn't seem to be firing. Stalls out when I pull off...
I just fixed the starter motor today. So another attempt at synching carbs. Tomorrow I'll try to get the engine started again and take a quick video.
I fixed the brakes. So I'm back to working on getting the bike to run. Unfortunately, the owner of the bike shop I was going to have the fuel tank...
So I ran a few pressure tests swapping out parts. Seems like the Aftermarket spring seal is the issue. Aftermarket piston and seal are good. MC is...
