He got it in a package deal with a few other bikes. I had been slowly working on an 82 Yamaha XJ550 Seca, but it was missing alot of little odds and ends, had alot of miles on it, and it never ran right (CV carbs without the factory airbox)
So I just got this Saturday night, Ive had a quick looksy over it and I think I like it better. Its got 30,000 Kms on it, and its pretty much all there except for the sidecovers. I havent tried to fire it or anything yet, but my dad says when he puts a battery on it it turns over, and everything seems to work.
The 2 problems I can see is its been dropped, which broke the right side brake handle off, and also broke the mount for the stabilizer rod on the rear drum. Ill either have to get it welded or replace it as it cracked the aluminum on the drum itself. Also, a previous owner put a tire on the front that was wayyyyy too big and cut and welded the front fender to fit
Sorry, this is the only picture I took of it, other than the VIN. I gotta say though that big fender on the back has to go!
Hopefully Ill get back to my dads place this weekend and maybe get it to fire, Cheers!
Oh, before I forget, is there a VIN charector that will identify either a 400 or 450?
