    Hi, I am looking at selling my xj650, absolutely no idea of pricing. Any advice?

    Looks like my 1982 Seca. Is the engine YICS?

      Hi Artur, I can’t remember off hand but will find it out for you. As I recall it was the original code from Yamaha.

      They are marvins, readily available in most places.

    I have a 1980 XJ650. It doesn't look anything like that bike, style-wise. Sloped gas tank and Maxim side cover. Were there 2 models? Maxim. And Seca?
    1. David Gaunt
      Hi yes the maxim was more popular in the USA.

    Hello Dave
    Is that the original cardinal red
    1. David Gaunt
      It’s not as I couldn’t find the paint code but it’s a very close match

    Very nice! I'm doing a 1982 Seca 650. What did you do to clean up the wheels? Thanks.

      Hi, just elbow grease and some paint.
