Free 1981 XJ650 Maxim

Last licensed in 2013 this 650 Maxim has been inside a shed. It's pretty dirty and needs a brake master cycl. front tire, battery and starter switch for sure. The engine ran but when it warmed up it would flood out and carbs leaked fuel, seat is cracking. there may be other issues, I don't know. It is as it is. I had planned on working through those issues but have reached a place where I no longer have that itch. I have the title for it and am willing to pass it on to anyone who wants it. Otherwise if there is no interest in it I'll take it to the scrap yard 1st part of May 2026.

 

A most generous offer. It is a bit far for me to come retrieve it to the East Coast. Please, please don't scrap it! It appears to be too complete and unmolested to turn into beer cans.

 

If you were closer to PA I'd take it for sure! I already have a 650 and just picked up a 750 a few weeks back. If you're planning to scrap it anyways would you be willing to ship some parts to PA? I'd pay for shipping!

 

I would prefer to pass the whole bike onto someone who might want it. If I were to part it out then I'd need compensation for the time to break it down.

 

Where are you located???

 

Southwest corner of Colorado

 

I live in Northwest corner of arkansas. If you can tell me the town i can see what i can do to get out there. I really love that bike and would be willing to drive out if your are just gonna give it away. Im very interested
