The good news is petcocks are easy to rebuild. I think Fitz did a write up a few years ago. And the 900 you have is super rare!
A shameless bump. Pretty much the same picture I posted a number of years ago but with better lighting. [ATTACH]
Thanks k-moe. I shall proceed.
After reading through some of the "how to" post I came across this in Hogfiddles signature: https://www.xjcd.org/emergency_guidectomy The last...
Done for the day. Monday will be the next chance I get to continue work. Wish me luck. [ATTACH] The Seca says hello too (and Vulcan). [ATTACH]
Got it![ATTACH]
Ok , it's been a while since I've posted anything here but I'm back. I'm finally going to start working on replacing my Maxim's starter clutch and...
This is a family friendly forum. I don't want to get banned. :cool:
Just the sheep. :mad:
We like to loot and pillage small communities.
Bryan and I took our Seca's out for some fresh air today. Would have liked to go further but time was short. Beautiful day though. [ATTACH]...
Thanks Len. Paul, I really haven't been in touch with Chris. Just an occasional Facebook comment. I think he's doing good though.
It's silver dammit!:D
One more. The Max wanted to be seen. [ATTACH]
Hi gang. It's been a while since I posted anything. Busy year. Bought a new house, moved, ect.... For those of you who remember, no, I still...
I will try to get a video. With sound of course.
So after much deliberation I've decided to scrap both bikes as I don't want to put the work into them. Since the Seca's a 'ticking time bomb' it's...
What I can't figure out is the intermittent nature of the noise. I'll pull the valve cover and look for the obvious but I'm thinking this will be...
I need to pick a few brains, my Maxim (750) has been making some strange noises as of late. It's a ticking, almost light knocking sound that comes...
Actually it's roughly 20' deep, but yes, can get rough.
Thanks to a recent post (kuddos to cgutz) I'm wondering how many original owners there are on the forums. Old and new pics would be cool to see....
Another original owner. I wonder how many of us there are in this group. Not trying at all to steal your show but I'll share a few 30 years...
There's an M60 tank at a VFW in Neenah. Finally got around to getting a few pics with the Seca. [ATTACH] [ATTACH]
[ATTACH] After! [MEDIA]
A friend picked up two 650's last year and has slowly been resurrecting one of them (the other is donating some parts). Since he has never seen...
The thing is once you "fix" these bikes correctly they are very reliable and a joy to ride.
Actually now that I watched it on my PC it's obvious that it's a Max. Couldn't really tell on my phone. The Chicago area isn't tops on my list of...
Correct me if I'm wrong but is this a 750 Max in this vid? Kudos to the trucker. [MEDIA]
For anyone in the Fox Cities area of Wisconsin tomorrow night, June 14th, The Locker Room is having their annual summer bike show. 800 Plank...
Now that I've had a few Moscow Mules (among other things) I noticed that I've misspelled the title of this topic. Should be"Tempting". No big deal...
What kind of party you ask? A Moscow Mule party!:):D Sorry, I don't have copper mugs, yet....[ATTACH]
Len, I'm glad you like my plates (license plate, not my palm tree dinner plates). If only someone (hint,hint) sold XJ4ever frames. I'll bet they...
Your logic is in fact very sound!:rolleyes: I also like your license plate. Do you like mine? [ATTACH]
You're correct, when I bought the Maxim 4 years ago I didn't tell her about it. When she came home from work and saw it in the garage she asked...
Yes Len, that will help. :D
Went for a breakfast run and took a few pics. The tank bag I got from Amazon was supposed to be black so no comments please on the clash of...
Saw this XS 850 a few days ago. Needs some TLC but all in all not too bad. As temping as it is though I had better pass or someone I live with...
So far I would give these a thumbs up. Smooth and predictable in turns and nice grip. Also the head shake I would get around 45 mph is almost...
Replaced the Dunlop 404's with Michelin Pilot Activs. Hopefully in the next few days I'll get a chance to give them a good evaluation. [ATTACH]...
Oh yeah, there's a fork brace and engine guards too. You guys are killing me!:(:)
Damn Len, can't get anything past you. There shocks aren't factory either. I put stiffer ones on way back in the past, as in 1984.:rolleyes:
Other than the front brake upgrade it's all stock.
Thanks! It's hard to image it's been 33 years since I bought it. Only a few more payments!:D
With the above average temps we've been having here I was able to get the Seca out a bit early. The first ride of the season is always nice....
I can't say enough about this. You'll also need a pump.:D
OK, not real scenic but this might be the last ride on the Nomad for the year. I rode the Seca to the gas station also today but didn't take a...
That diner actually hasn't been a diner for quite a while. It was originally the Starlight Diner in Appleton and failed. It was then moved to it's...
Well this is actually from yesterday. A quick 30 miles or so on the ZX before I put it away and one of it and the Maxim before Bryan (BryanBB) and...
I probably would not put the weight of the bike on the pipes. If you really want the tires off the ground use the center stand and prop a piece...
You must have had mad negotiation skills.
