    Ok, I have been cleaning, finding and polishing parts from an 83 XJ750 Maxim I was given. My brother is a Harley guy and wont touch anything else. So this guy owed him :cry: and I got the Maxim :lol: and my brother got what he wanted :wink: . Anyway I have changed the oil. and I need to check the valve clearance and replace the seal/gasket. There is some oil one the engine that looks like it may have come out of a breather opening but I'm not sure. Where are the likely oil leak spots on the Maxim? Right now the only obvious one is the valve cover gasket. The bike has 49000 km on it.

    When I got mine last summer it leaked from valvecover and also were the tach connects to the engine. Got my parts from Chalcal.
