    Hi everyone!
    I’ve had this bike for 3 years.
    It’s been great and I’ve done a lot of work including the dual disc conversion up front. Time to thin the herd! I need a bigger boat!

    1981 Yamaha XJ 650 Maxim for sale. Runs like a top,
    carbs are clean - full rebuild.
    Valves adjusted
    3 season old tires total of about 500 miles on them
    new brake shoes
    Swapped in a dual disc front end from a 1982 XJ 750 Maxim. Incredible improvement in braking power. Rebuilt calipers, seals, new master cylinder, new fork seals, all new brake lines.
    Windshield, handlebar risers.
    Great bike just time to move on!

    1.Right side emblems? Get some from Len

    2. Reposition the gauges so they are mounted UNDER the crown, not on top of it

    I’m not a fan of the fluorescent green brake hoses, but at least we know they’ve been replaced

    hope it sells quick for ya!

    Agree about the emblems and the brake lines - easy plus for you. The clocks - zero cost anyway. Hopefully you take @hogfiddles advice and sell it for a few dollars more. Nice bike.

    If it were my bike I'd ask $2000-2200 and let folks haggle with you. The dual-disc upgrade is probably worth the extra $600 at least. However, the fact that its ready to hit the road is a big plus. Especially if you take care of those minor cosmetic pieces. I paid $1400 for my bike with a few more miles and it was garage kept, however it needed the front brakes rebuilt (~$350) and now I'm going through the carbs (so far $250+). Plus I'll eventually need a set of tires to replace the 8 year old tires on the bike, and whatever other surprises await for me. You probably won't make any profit on it, but no reason to give it away either.
