    Noticed that MERV was convienently left off that list Couldn't think up a good description?

    Punk kids don't know what they've missed, eh Merv?

    That'd be the one! Used to have a Kerker 4into1 pipe on my old Seca 550.....which was nice, come oil change time..... the way the pipe was designed.....you could drain the motor without spilling a drop anywhere else.

    Look what the cat drug in!! It has been awhile Gav.......good to see ya again. Just read an article on the Triumph 675.......Nice Ride! I've always liked the exhaust note of those triples.
  7. YamaHead replied to joel/bellvue's post in a topic in Naked
    to the MadHouse Joel Sounds like your assumption of the correct way to install that filter.........is Correct from what I recall (Previously owned 4 different Seca's ) Not quite sure what you mean by "Middle gear drain plug" though If your Seca has stock exhaust pipes....that main drain plug is kind of a Bitch to get to, but it can be done. It's located on the front of the sump on the bottom of the motor. Hope this Helps

    Go to a dealer with a good selection......just to try on helmets & see what fits the best. Then possibly mail-order your choice...(better price if you're not in a hurry) Bought an Arai like that once......for only $130 delivered to my door Arai, Shoei, AGV, KBC, Shark are just a few brands that make good lids.

    There's still hope for you then! to the Forum Goddess
  10. Also a very good point there Drew
  11. 1st of all........ to the forum Willy Sounds to me like your crankcase might have Too Much oil in it? Probably wouldn't hurt to do an oil change to eliminate that possible culprit. Those old XS11's are great for 2-up riding
  12. YamaHead replied to mervin's post in a topic in The Bar
    Cool Vid Merv Glory Days for sure!
  13. It could very well be that backing plate making those noises There's some stuff you can buy (not sure where on your side of the pond )....but it's refered to as Disc Brake Quiet over here......it basically is like a sealant for the caliper piston to adhere to that backing plate. I remember it being a Non-Hardening type, sorta like a gasket sealer. Hope this helps @ least a little
  14. Vance & Hines Didn't see the '86 FZ600 listed.......but you could have a look @ Dennis Kirk I bougt a Kerker system for my old Seca 550 from them for a good price with great results
  15. Yep.....they don't call it EvilBay for nothing!
  16. Thanx for that link FIG51 Now that my XT has been put on the back burner for a few........ I've been looking into getting a Seca2, as it would fit my needs quite well
  17. YamaHead replied to zbiker's post in a topic in The Bar
    This thread is NO worse than those Ride Reports with Beemers & Stroms from that Ginger-Haired Spanish/Welsh DumbArse
  18. YamaHead replied to zbiker's post in a topic in The Bar
    Interesting Encounter there Zbiker Gotta make ya wonder why the Hell a Bike club rides all the way to the east coast from Seattle just for an Initiation ride?
  19. YamaHead replied to Alex's post in a topic in The Bar
    Good to hear Alex Hopefully things will now smooth out
  20. YamaHead replied to madshep's post in a topic in The Bar
    Yeah......He wanted to be sure on How NOT to ride a bike!
  21. YamaHead replied to Pete's post in a topic in The Bar
    He just wants to make sure that all you UKers don't think he's on about Cigarettes(Fags)
  22. MOT's only apply to the other side of the pond Here in Oregon, we just have to pay the registration fee, title transfer, & have proof of Insurance...... To get current year tags for the plate. I believe California is pretty similar?
  23. YamaHead replied to YamaHead's post in a topic in The Bar
    Here's one I got just last Friday..... 11,000+ft. Mt. Hood......Highest peak in Oregon ....& where I've been Skiing since I was 5y/o
  24. YamaHead replied to madshep's post in a topic in The Bar
    Yep......he went well around corners.......back before too many racers used their knee's for feelers Just have a look @ those beveled boot edges!......I recall reading an Article about Mike The Bike once.... There was more than a few occassions where there was blood being emitted from those Boots!
  25. YamaHead replied to Pete's post in a topic in Dual Sport, Offroad Bikes
    The only real way to get your XT dirty...... is to actually ride it in the DIRT! .......Not on some Panty-Waisted patio gravel shit! I'd like to see Pete try this with his XT sometime ...... I know it'll never happen though........That'd send him into convulsions!
