While trying to diagnose a couple issues on my '92 after the GA to PA trip, I stumbled across this beaute.
1995 XJ600 Seca II, 2,300 original miles, all complete! It's been sitting since 1998 and needs quite a bit of work as you can imagine, but I've got a good head start. At this point it needs:
Fork seals
Clutch cable
Carbs rebuilt (in progress)
Tires
Chain
Oil + filter
This fairing was a little more intensive to get off than the '92
Little windscreens...hmm
Front fairing has a clean break. Perfectly fixable.
The ignition switch still had that factory peely film. Nice!
Nastiness
Yikes
There's probably some foul beast in there waiting to attack my hand
Gotta go
Dirrrrttyy
This one should be salvageable
What came out of the tank
It's in decent condition
The whole inside looks like that
Had to grind off a link because I don't have the luxury of a chain breaker yet
Before some washing
After some low-pressure washing
Better, better
The foam on the bottom was crumbling, but the actual filter looked brand new
Now for the carbs
Back, foul beast!
The throttle cables moved, so it was the carbs that were pretty gummed up
The clutch moved, but the cable was stuck
Gonna needs new booties
Since the clutch cable was frozen, I had to remove the handle to get the cable out of there
Ok, carb time
Not bad, not bad!
Pretty nasty, but workable
And as you may have predicted, I broke a float tower. Clean break though so it should be repairable.
