I'm sorry, I found a buyer and forgot about this ad. I'll mark it sold.
I have a (somewhat) rideable XJ750R for sale. I'm very sad to post it, but I'm moving overseas. The Good: Newer Bridgestone S11 tires (2018...
Sorry about the late reply. You can ground everything in the headlight box itself, IIRC. I believe I put a 1k resistor between the high and low...
Nope. Take a look at Page 3. There's a ton of info I'm fuzzy on. There's a way to change the wires around and make it work, but it's been a while.
I think I have a combination of that it was overfilled, but I overfilled it because I ran it to saturate the filter and the oil got trapped in the...
I tossed in some Lucas oil cleaner stuff. I've put 90 miles on since then and added a small bit of oil. Seems to be worse when the oil is hot, but...
I saw nobody replied, I'm no expert, but here's a thread to start with:...
I couldn't find any issues under the side panel. The air/oil separator is clear and has no moving parts. I reduced the amount of oil to 3/4 in...
From my reading, this is supposed to be a one-way valve? Mine is certainly not any kind of one way from initial testing. It's bi -directional....
I just put 10-30 Maxima Premium4 in it. I pulled out 10-40 Maxima Pro+, I had 10-30 Premium4 in it before that, Ran Valvoline 10-30 or 20-50 as...
I had a crazy idea so I hooked my buddy's go pro to the highway bar and pointed it at the oil window and the oil is full of bubbles when the oil...
Engine mileage is in the vicinity of 40,000 miles. It sat for some 20 years and I bought it with 4k. Once I took some bad advice and used an SF...
I'm sorry I was unclear: at idle, the light is off. Around 5000rpm, the light comes on and stays on until the bike is stopped at idle for...
I recently had my oil warning light flickering under hard acceleration. I changed the oil and now the light only turns off at idle. I pulled the...
Look through the second post for pics. There should be two thin washers (one with a bend in it), a chamfered ring, a spring, and a valve body...
It should stick out a good bit. Did you get all of the washers out of the bottom? Mine were covered in old, sticky oil and were a pain to get...
Got it. Each system (fork oil and brake fluid) has a sealed piston as shown in this video: [MEDIA], so you can break the antidive units at the...
Alright, I went the "keep the brake lines sealed" route for this operation and it dawned on me that I don't know how to fill the forks while...
Welcome! The COVID has me out of a job, so if you want to go for a ride sometime, let me know!
This post is great and I'm installing an LED H4 on my 81 750 SECA. I don't fully understand the note for two reasons: first, I'm not that smart....
I've run to Saginaw just for a ride before!
Stock jets. But I tuned with the K&N installed.
So, I had a rough year riding-wise and finally /installed/ the paper filter and put winter pul in it. Haven't gotten it to full throttle yet, but...
Sure! I'm off Sundays and Mondays, which I know makes it tough. And I'm no pro, that's for sure, you might teach me a couple things.
Welcome! Best of luck with those carbs! I've got a YICS tool, a vacuum sync, and a colortune if you'd like to borrow any of them. Do you hit up...
Correct, though it has a separate bolt for securement.
The bolt loosened up and the whole thing disappeared... I don't need the muffler hangar, just the foot rest.
I'm looking for the Right Hand Passenger peg for a 1981 XJ750 Seca. Figured I'd try here before I hit up eBay. Would like to have it in hand by 8/4.

Out and about in Pontiac, MI.
https://photos.app.goo.gl/JP0yB7qOxuaM9PvG2 RAM 1" ball mount on the triple tree of an '81 Seca. Going to get some stand-offs and longer bolts...
But I /liked/ the OEM seat. Maybe I'll just get some super stiff foam for the void.
Good day all, I recovered my seat a couple years ago and it hasn't felt the same since. It feels like I'm getting pushed forward in the saddle...
It's in the mail. Thanks, @kmoe! I knew I could count on the experts here!
1981 XJ750R runs pretty awesome when below 7000RPM and when quickly accelerated through that range. Slow throttle increase to 7000 reveals a...
Awesome! I'm not far away in Macomb county!
I, too, have been running Spitfire S11 tires. I put a pair on in 2010. Replaced the rear two years ago and the front is due this winter. On a...
Today I broke my rear stop light switch return spring. :edit: Fixed it. Adding it to the list of things to buy from Chacal in the future.
It's .05mm. .11 is in spec and .15 is in spec, which makes it an inclusive series, so you have to count both numbers with three in the middle.
That's correct. In spec is in spec. Out of spec is out of spec. When you get to .10, you shim to .15 and you're in spec.
You're going to need tighter gages, hate to say it. The whole tolerance is .05mm. You have no way of knowing if you're in or out of spec with...
I use a spray bottle of straight Simple Green and a detail brush on the motor. And Meguire's car soap on the painted bits.
I haven't done anything to it today, and yesterday, I was too covered in grime to /think/ about touching anything electronic other than plug...
Got my carbs and shims from Hogfiddles! Got 3 of 4 shims corrected while waiting for the glue on my valve cover to dry. AND got my registration...
O.O My carbs! They're magnificent! I can't wait to install them! He didn't even tell the best part! The float levels were all different...
I'm glad you asked! Don't pull out the shims and rotate the cam on the buckets. I almost did and the guy who runs the shim pool here advised me...
Known issues: causes huge smiles when running correctly; causes lack-of-maintenance jealousy from Harley-Davidson owners; too many knowledgeable,...
I've looked on and off for a new tank, even after I spilled the motorcycle, I couldn't find anything in better shape, so I had this one bumped and...
Also forgot the saddle on the right side isn't wide enough for the shock to fit in. I'm hesitant to bend it, but I also see how grinding the eye...
I forgot I posted this so long ago. I bought a used set. I now have three bad shocks and one good one. My dad just pulled a set of 11" 412s off...
