I don't recall any particular year for the 900, as long as it wasn't the 929 or 954. I converted to a 520 chain by using the front sprocket from a...
I have a CBR900RR rear shock on a couple of mine. They are almost a bolt in except for the bolt sizes for the upper and lower shock mounts. I...
I have the forks from an FZ600 on mine. The stem on the FZ is either too short or too long compared to the XJ,(I forget which, I made the swap...
I think you should redo your compression test. Since they are all pretty uniform and the il didn't bring up the compression much, it sounds like...
I probably wouldn't go wider than a 120 or maybe a 130 on the stock rear wheel. It is only a WM3, 2.15, width so the profile would end up wrong...
Thanks for posting up the pic. The right side cover is now long gone, it departed that race weekend. I even had it duct taped on after I lost it...
Me too, that is why I have a 150-17 on mine. :) Ken
My Seca 550 race bike has CBR600F wheels on it. I have an FZ600 front end on it. I run a 110-17 front and a 150-17 rear. It fits in the stock...
The 600 exhaust cams don't have the tach drive gear machined in them. So if you go with a 600 cam you will need to go with an electric tach, too....
My Seca550 race bike has FZ600 forks and CBR600F 17" wheels on it front and back. I think for street use the dual disks are overkill and a bug...
Based on my experience, I am going to disagree with some of your basic assumptions which appear to form the basis of your argument against pods. I...
It looks like the discs from an FJ600, FZ600, FZ750/700, XZ550 (83 w/dual discs), RZ350, SRX600 and XV750 will all work. I have seen them listed...
I have a mac header for a 650 on my Seca 550 racebike. I was able to flex the headpipe spacing enough to get it bolted up. It does hang a little...
[img][/img] I don't recall any holes or significant rust, although one of the heat shields has been cut a little because I needed some...
If it is the same as the Seca 550, I have one. Ken
I have a complete set of wheels, front and rear, for a Seca 550. I will separate them if you only need the rear. Ken
Just to throw it in here, I agree with Streetbrawler. The key is to use the stock velocity stacks. On my race bike Seca 550 I am running stock...
It looks like the 82 and 85 steering stem shafts are the same diameter top and bottom from looking at the bearing sizes. What I don't know is the...
I think you have a pretty good plan to brace and monoshock your swingarm. If it was me, I would probably get a Virago swingarm and shock to cut...
Just my opinion, but I think the Spitfire is obsolete. The Bridgestone BT-45 is a better tire as are the Dunlop GT-501, Pirelli Sport Demon and...
Yup, That's me. I pretty much am either on there or the WERA BBS. My focus is more on racing than street riding at this point. But I kind of...
I have seen a motor that spit a shim and it wasn't pretty. It fired the shim forward right through the head casting. All in all kind of amazing. I...
Rick, Thanks for the input. I have a spare Seca motor, so I have plenty of parts. I also have FZ600 parts, and the cams interchange, so that...
XJdaver, The Seca forks are black. Here is a picture. [img] The oil cooler is on a mystery parts xj550 motor that I have. It looks just like...
Mostly Chassis and suspension work. I am running a stock motor and carbs with a 4-1 pipe and the rubber velocity stacks from the stock airbox. I...
The Seca and FZ600. The Seca in WERA and AHRMA and The FZ in WERA and CCS. Ken
I just wondered if anybody else is racing an XJ? I seem to be the only one out here. It is kind of lonely. Most of the people modding on here are...
I would suspect the front tire is the culprit. Is there uneven wear on the edges of the tire blocks? It is usually caused by chronic low tire...
I'll take some pics of the black wheel and front end and post them up here. Ken
Yes they are available. They are not rusty or leaking. PM replied to. Ken
Depends, do you want the stock FZ600 triple, or one with the shortened stem to mount on the Seca? Do you want the 16"FZ wheel or the 18" Vision...
I have some stock XJ550 R Seca and FZ600 parts from my racebikes that might be fun for some of you guys. Stock Seca Wheels 18†rear...
You could fit a 160 in there, but the rim really is too narrow for a 160. The bike doesn't really need any bigger for racing. Ken
I just thought I would share my Seca race bike. [img] It has a stock motor, stock carbs with the rubber velocity stacks from the original air...
Thanks, It is so much easier to get race rubber in 17" compared to 18". They really improved the turn in on the bike, too. All in all it was a...
Just wanted to say hi. I have been lurking for a few days and thought there might be some interest in my Seca 550 racebike. I have a few pictures...
