Part of my inspiration for building the XJ900 Seca-SST was this photo. Pictured here is a 1983 Yamaha XJ750D. This bike was not imported into the USA. The following information was located on the web from a gentlemen trying to sell his bike in New Zealand. The ad read - "An excellent Touring bike, so comfortable to ride.
The XJ750D was the first model in Japan equipped with a full faring incorporating aerodynamic design. At the same time it featured advanced Yamaha electronic technologies such as the YFIS (Yamaha Fuel Injection System) and the "Yamaha Cycle Communication System," which provided a man-machine interface to give the rider information concerning the condition of the machine
It boasts a fully digital dash board with a ten function on-board fuel economy computer that includes a clock, up-count trip meter, set-able down-count trip meter, fuel remaining in tank (liters), fuel economy (as you ride, updated every 30 seconds) range on remaining fuel, time spent on trip, average speed, fuel consumption, and average economy.
There is also a seven function monitor that activates a large warning light on the dash and displays an LCD icon to warn if the side stand is down or brake, oil, battery or fuel levels are low. It also warns of lamp failure in the head or tail lights and provides a fuel gauge.
A great example in true original condition. Just a few scuff marks and a small plastic weld repair on the fairing.
Complete with a radio, tape deck and all the hard luggage you need for the "Great Touring Adventure".
4 cylinder, fuel injected, shaft drive. Starts first time and runs like a dream."
WOW! Fuel injection in 1983?! Would love to see one of these bikes up close....just for the digital information on the instruments. So, if you own one, drop us an email, send pics, and happy riding. JF
