Hey, I just bought my first bike, a 1992 XJ600 Seca II. I have been looking forward to owning a bike for a while now, and I am excited to finally own one. I am still learning to ride in a near by parking lot and hope to start getting around town soon.

The bike needs a little work, but is is pretty good shape. Right now I am needing to replace the mufflers. The previous owner fitted the bike with some slip on mufflers, however they were not really meant for the bike. The left side muffler sheared off right above the slip on, so no damage to the original exhaust pipes. Since I am on a budget I am probably going to order some universal mufflers (Shorty 12'' universals) and install them in the next few weeks, especially since running a straight pipe on the left is considerably loud. The tank and frame are in good shape, although the fairings have seen better days (I may be responsible for a crack in the right side cowl fairing....Kinda dumped it my first time out...). Other than that the bike seems good to go with a new back tire, cleaned chain and sprockets, new oil pan, and some replaced gaskets.
