The Yamaha XJ Electrical Help! Page

Bike won't start? Think the battery might be dead? Or could it be something else? These electrical FAQs are dedicated to Yamaha XJ750/650/550 Maxim and Seca motorcycles (with some emphasis on the Seca 750). Don't buy that new battery or alternator until you've read these FAQ's! Take a look around. Feel free to download the FAQ (I've made a text version available.)

I am an electrical engineer and shade-tree motorcycle mechanic. I have owned a Seca 750 since 1987, and am still finding new things to fix. My intent is to help out fellow XJ owners with what I have learned about this bike over the years, and hopefully instill an appreciation of the importance of maintaining the electrical system properly.


The XJ-owners mailing list is now active, although an archive isn't yet available. The list is hosted by micapeak.com. I should add that many of the discussions that evolved into the Electrical FAQ started on the XJ-owners mailing list. My thanks to all of them for the input.
Thanks for reading!
