1982 Yamaha 650 Turbo Seca (1982)
This is my Yamaha 650 Turbo Seca. It is in excellent condition. Everything works, including all lights, gauges, warning lights, signals, etc. The compression on all four cylinders is 125 psi, about as good as you can get. I have recently rebuilt all four carbs with complete carb kits, not just cleaned them and replace a few gaskets. The petcock was rebuilt (very important with these bikes as otherwise fuel will leak through the carbs into the crankcase and through the turbo), replaced all spark plugs, all fluids, rebuilt the front brake calipers with new NOS Yamaha kits, replaces the brake lines with braided stainless steel lines and resealed the front forks. The carburator air box was resealed and the fuel pressure regulator was replaced. The turbo was also replaced with a rebuilt unit. It has a new battery. The bike also has the Yamaha Turbo Boost which the raises the turbo boost from 7 to 12 psi. The bike starts easily, idles smoothly and runs as it should. At about 5-6000 rpm the turbo comes on the bike takes off. It is a blast to drive, smooth, fast and very agile.2013-10-14 00:04:54Prescott, Arizona, US14,0001,275.00 -
