As a result of an auto accident yesterday (in which our van was totalled) I have to sell my 1982 XJ 750. Boy, it's been a bad year... Some of...
You may remember this bike from last season. I thought about selling it after I decided not to commute with it. Instead I rode it last fall, but...
No worries. We'll see how it goes. :)
It's awfully decent of you to try to make me feel better about the Seca, but I'm thinking pretty hard about a dual-sport, when the time comes....
I had it listed at $2400, but didn't pay that when I bought it. I was trying to recoup my registration, fuse block, solenoid, and windshield...
I'll have to check, but I think the ad just got bumped way back- I haven't been exactly pushing to see it gone. I rode it 162 miles today...
Again, thanks for the kind treatment, everyone. Not every group of enthusiasts would be so understanding. I'm taking the bike up into the hills on...
Tygor- I'm picking up a replacement for my XJ750 faring windscreen from Clearview this weekend. So far they've been easy to deal with. If you'd...
SO, Denver is a great place to visit, especially in the late summer, early fall, and the surrounding terrain is even better to ride. Come on out...
Thanks for the thought. I'm not the type to believe in fate, or omens, or other supernatural phenomena, but I do know that if your head is not...
Well, despite all the best wishes here and a really good result on my BRC course (great score on the road test, perfect written test) I've decided...
Ya wanna buy a 750?
I did take a closer look at the bike, and have to conclude that it's the lens over the headlight that is causing the noise. Braking doesn't seem...
I'm not sure, though I'll certainly check. I hadn't even considered the brakes, as I'm pretty sure it's not that rhythmic- more of a dit, dit,...
Like is says in the subject line, I have a chatter in the front end of my Seca. It is irregular, not a tinney sound, but pretty consistent (always...
This doesn't help you, but adds to the comparison. Here in Denver there are two ways of getting the BRC (Basic Riders Course). One is through the...
Grim- take all of this with a grain of salt, but as I own the same bike (more or less) and am becoming more and more familiar, maybe this will add...
Re: XJ 750 Sport fairing mount (new) Right, gotcha. :wink:
Re: XJ 750 Sport fairing mount (new) Ltdave- Thanks, but no thanks- I think yours look nice and streamlined, but I'll stick with my black...
Re: XJ 750 Sport fairing mount (new) LtDave- do you know any of the details regarding the bags on the second Seca? I've not yet seen that...
Rumor has it a email is a bad way to get info about the CD- mail your check and it will come (or so I've heard).
Thanks Rick! Me too, but being it's my first bike I'm not sure I'm much of a judge as to it going as good as it looks. I'm still getting used to...
Yeah, I don't know, I haven't committed all of the permutations to memory yet, but I do know that mine is very close to stock, and that Secas of...
That's a Maxim- triangular side covers, round headlight, no cut-away in the tank (teardrop tank). I'm a newb, so I'm sure someone can point out...
Thanks, I'll check into that.
Like it says, I'm looking for the lens that mounts to the stock Yammy faring and covers the headlight on a 1982 XJ750 Seca. Mine was broken by a...
reelop19- Do you have the lens that covers the headlight in the stock Yamaha faring? Mine is broken, and I'd like to replace it. Steve
George- I was playing with my bike this weekend and realized that you may be abandoning a part I need (not likely, but possible). If you get rid...
As a future bike commuter (read- lots of miles, lots of traffic) I went shopping for a bike that was bright colored. Lucky for me I found a great...
George- Thanks for the reply and bike kudos. I wish I had more to do with the bike's good condition (and suspect I will- just a matter of...
Hey George, you and I have twin bikes, nearly. I've got the Yamaha faring, same color, same year with saddlebags and trunk. I've yet to ride mine...
Coaxial- I wanted to thank you for posting the link to the ADV Rider site. I was completely distracted by it at work yesterday, and am afraid I...
OK- Good Luck! I have nothing really to add, but am mad with envy for your opportunity. Sounds like a great trip. I guess I might add 1 thing...
Now That is a LOL moment!
One of the nice things about having a old(er) bike is that most of the common failures are well known. I should know this, but I continue to be...
Got her tag and registration! No more sneaking around the block. I feel like I'm 17.
Thanks, man. I've seen a number of "Scooterists" with bike helmets on, so I guess that fits, sorta. Colorado is the land of no helmets, but I'll...
I came across a reference to a "guppy helmet" in a video about a motorcycle crash, and was wondering what was meant. Can anybody help me out?...
Seriously- I looked for weeks and paid twice what you're being offered for a bike in similar condition (though mine has bags and faring). Give it...
Conductivity would be the primary issue, I believe, and I don't know the conductive properties of JB Weld. I have heard that anything over the...
Re: XJ PARTS FOR SALE---FOR ALL MAXIM, SECA, AND TURBO MODEL Len. Again, me too, me too. Got my second parts order yesterday, as ordered. You're...
What did youu do to deserve two in the wrist? I've got four in the finger. But I can still ride, if I can be sure I don't have to catch myself...
Annnnddd, we won't get into what my last name is.
DianCecht- I'm pretty sure that, after getting flames to shoot out of my exhaust I would have ended up in the bar across the street, myself....
Figman- Your last name wouldn't be Newton, would it? I grew up with kid we called Fig, due to his last name. Anyway, thanks for the compliment-...
Dodger62- Time will tell. I'm about two and a half weeks out on my order. They said they'd give me a shout when it's in (I'm realtively local to...
Thanks- I'll check it out! :)
I'm not in Ontario, but had a similar experience with State Farm. I called them up, gave them my VIN, the size of my bike, and answered a couple...
Has anyone found a good source for covers for their XJ's? Mine will live in the garage/shop, but a lot of welding and grinding goes on in there in...
Thanks- I like her. My wife is getting jealous... I've wanted a motorcycle since I was 4, when my dad gave me evening rides on his little Honda...
