Yamaha Other description

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.

The bike is in excellent condition for it's age.  I would say it is well above average cosmetically, with just a few paints scratches and nicks.  There are no dents or digs and the mufflers are  dent free.

There are many sights where you can learn all about these great bikes.  One I like is Vince's Seca Turbo page.  It was a big help in the restoration and continuing maintenance of this rare bike.

Buyer is responsible for pick-up and shipping.  I will assist and can store the bike inside for a reasonable amount of time.

This is Jorge Lorenzo’s New Motorcycle: Yamaha YBR250

Tue, 07 Feb 2012

You would figure a former MotoGP World Champion and one of the top motorcycle racers on the planet would have his pick for a streetbike. Not if he doesn’t have a motorcycle license and is practicing for his riding test however. In 2010 MotoGP Champion Jorge Lorenzo‘s case, his ride is the Yamaha YBR250.

"That's one small step for man..."

Fri, 02 Oct 2009

TO CELEBRATE the 40th anniversary of man's first steps on the moon, Fiat Yamaha rider Jorge Lorenzo will wear an astronaut-style paint job on his helmet at this weekend's Portuguese GP. The Spaniard's lid has been sprayed to look a little like a spaceman's helmet and has Neil Armstrong's immortal words: "That's one small step for man; one giant leap for mankind" written on the rear. Let's just hope Lorenzo doesn't launch himself this weekend.

Results From Day 1 Of Second Sepang MotoGP Test

Wed, 26 Feb 2014

With the absence of Marc Marquez from the second Sepang MotoGP test, due to a broken leg suffered in a training accident, another Honda rider took his place at the top of the time sheets, though it’s not who you might think. Alvaro Bautista on the Gresini Honda set the fastest time at the end of the first day with a 2:00.848. The time is 1.3 second slower than the fastest time Marquez set at the last Sepang test.
