So short story long... My 400 Seca has been sitting in the garage for almost a year. The bike got parked and the fuel tank had a leak in the corner so I took it off, drained the fuel and started to strip the tank. The old Kreme coat inside the tank is shot. I found 4-5 pin/small holes in the...

I know it's been a while... Did you get rid of the bike?

Hey all, New to riding, picked up my bike at the end of October and have been replacing parts here and there to get it running better. I want to use it for commuting to and from my college campus but don't want to lug around ATGATT. I'd like to get some sort of either lockable panniers or top...

So the rainx plastic looks like the ticket. Safe on most forms of plastic. I'm going to try to pick some up/ order and let you know how it fares.

I started using their washer fluid a few years back and it was the same way. I did notice that they have one for plastics now and not sure if anyone's used it. Haven't read up yet to see if it is okay to use on lexan (sp?) Or polycarbonate.

Thanks Chris, the tire is tubeless. Rim also says suitable for tubeless. I cleaned it up and reinstalled the old tire. It still had a bit of wobble in it and Ithe bead line still wasn't 100% perfect. I checked the rim and bearings, they both seemed okay. I noticed that the tire looked a little...

Pulled the tire from the rim and there was all sorts of dried goo (mm+ thick clumps of this crap). With a Dremel and brass brush I was able to get the worst of it before the brush disintegrated. I used some #0000 steel wool, cleaner and a pick to get the worst of what was left. I feel like this...

So in between two tires, https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/michelin-pilot-activ-tire and https://www.revzilla.com/motorcycle/metzeler-roadtec-01-tires. Any advantages/ opinions on these two?

Thanks Leo! No I didn't run it soft, recommended PSI is in the 28-36 range ( depending on load) for the rear, I've kept it at about 30. How low is it safe to drop it?

Thanks Sandman, going to give it another go here shortly. Been swamped with work/ holiday activities. When you bounce the tire on the floor do you generally do at a lower pressure in tire or higher? I tried to do so but didn't have a whole lot of luck this far. XSLeo- The PO installed the tire...

Thanks for all the replies. Tire was definitely mounted un evenly. I tried to re seat on my own a few times with plenty of lube but to no avail. Took it to the shop. They didn't seat it much better. He balanced it out but considering it was new year's Eve he probably couldn't have cared...

Here's a link to a video of it running. May just end up taking to the shop and pay for my education

Went for a ride yesterday and noticed that the rear of the bike felt a little wonky. Once I got back I out the bike on the center stand and proceeded to spin the back tire with the engine off. I noticed that the tire didn't rotate uniformly and would wobble back and forth( maybe slightly up and...

No problem! I had thought about doing digital or even switching to round instruments but I'm a bit on the fence about keeping the integrity of the stock bike. The square parts definitely scream 1980 though lol. I might take it for a spin here in a few to test out brake job. And super stoked now...

Ah got ya. I've been shopping around and found a "heavy duty chain for 70ish" Glad to hear you've stuck with it and got it going again!! I got it off of ebay. Here's a link to one for sale now...

Hey, just joined today and thought I'd chime in. I just picked up a seca a few weeks ago and am in the process of rebuilding front caliper( waiting on parts ) , installing a NOS speedo (previous didn't work), new ss brake lines, etc... This is my first bike, got it.from CL for $600. Previous...
