XJ650 Hardtail Chopper
I came across this chopper on my countless hours spent looking at pictures of Yamaha Maxim and Seca motorcycles. I really loved the clean look of this hardtail chopper. I had the misfortune of losing my muffler on a midnight ride into Istanbul, Turkey and I remember how loud it was. Looking at the missing muffler on this motorcycle makes me cringe thinking about the noise this bad boy must unleash. The owner of this Yamaha XJ650 hardtail is a g...

Have you ever seen those motorcycles coming at you with those headlight modulators? The pulsating headlight makes them very noticeable to other motorists. Unfortunately, these units can be rather expensive. After doing some research, I've come up wi

The New Everything Yamaha XJ650 Site

Well after many hours in front of the computer I have given the Everything Yamaha XJ650 site a complete face lift. I hope you like the new look. There is still a bit of detail work that needs to get done as I have tweaked a newspaper template to accommodate our motorcycle website. I do intend to remove the Barack Obabma and Vladimir Putin images off the title but with the Nuclear Arms treaty about to be signed I think I'll keep it up for awhile longer before I swap them with a Yamaha Maxim on one side and a Yamaha Seca on the other. Both very reliable motorbikes for riding after a Nuclear Armageddon. My Maxim has often been referred to as a 'Mad Max' bike.
The recent attack on our blog by militant Honda owners jealous of our shaft drives has renewed my verve in adding content and making this an even better landing page for any Yamaha XJ Maxim and Seca owners. The categories at the top make it easier to navigate the 'How-To' section depending on the problem with your XJ650. There is an Ad site in this template where we could advertise bikes or spare parts for sale. Just send an email to xj650.admin@gmail.com with your posting and I will put it up for you. The only requirement is at least one picture, an email address and a minimum of 20 words.
I truly hope you enjoy the new site. I always welcome your comments whether they are positive or critical and above all please send pictures of your bikes with a little write up so I can add them to the 'Reader's Ride' section.
In the meantime....
"Free yourself from the chains that bind you, ride a shaft drive!"
