I just bought this bike, it is my 2nd (have lots of project bikes and scooters) but this is my 2nd riding bike...
I started riding late summer of 2014 after I got my endorsement. And Pretty much haven't ridden since then...
The bike I learned on was a 1982 CM250C (just b4 the rebel 250) It was modded by previous owner to be a cafe racer,
but the shifter was reversed for this (1 UP and 4 DOWN!?!?
) as well as the rear brake lever being made into the foot rest. (it pivoted forwards and back to brake...) I took it off and rode with no rear brakes as I'm 6'2" with a size 14 foot... the bike was WAY too small to begin with and I kept riding the brake without noticing...anyways, this Seca II I just bought 3 days ago is a HUGE improvement! (EVERYTHING WORKS!)
I bought it for $600 with a reportedly bad clutch, and a bad battery (wouldn't rev above idle) and had been sitting in a barn for 2 years...
I cleaned it, lubed it, put a new battery in it, adjusted the clutch from info here on this forum, added premium after checking the tank, and voila, she fires right up, idles, purrs, and growls...
I rode it for one day with the slipping clutch (would slip above 4k rpm) so it was hard to keep up with traffic...
so far so good, everything seems good and even the rear shock is still good! everything is stock except the exhaust...
Its pretty! Or so I thought until I saw Radare's beautifully restored Orange one... MAN!
