    Anyone know the exact rake and trail for these bikes? I have an 1982 XJ 750 Maxim, inquiring minds and all that.
    Cheers, 50gary

    that is for the 1985/1986 Maxim-X (even though the URL implies 1982). Is that the same information for a 1982 Maxim?

    Thanks for the replies. I did see that 85/86 "X" bike specs but did't know if Yamaha had made any changes? I plan on changing the front end, it's always good to know what OEM is.
    Cheers, 50gary

    Forgive me if this sounds harsh, but I would think if you have the skill set to change the front you should be able to measure the current rake trail.

    I grew up in Saginaw (85 - 03), actually bought my Maxim there back in 2015.
