I've found maxim-x.com to be a great resource. If I remember right, he even had a shim pool set up as well as a fairly good shim calculator that...
I have a pair on prescription sunglasses, but also on my GMAX modular the visor doesn't interfere with my regular glasses.

When you get the valves in spec and the carburetor cleaned and dialed in, along with all the other necessary maintenance items that come with a 30...
I saw this xs650 in CL last night. While I don't agree with everything said, I agree with the spirit of it as a definition of a true...
Just a reminder, as he doesn't say what bike he has, if he has an X, none of these good suggestions will do him any good. Changing shims in an X...
I've heard that them "Snowsickles" can be watercraft as well. You just can't slow down or your swimming.
For oil 20W/50 is good, just make sure it is suitable for motorcycles with wet clutches. Will usually say so on the side.
On my X, when the starter button is pushed, the lights go out. If the button doesn't come all the way back out, the lights don't come back on even...
Re: Be The Bunny! Safe riding and motorcycle survival threa I saw this on pintrest. thought it very appropriate....
This isn't new, I've had one of these for a couple of years now. GMAX GM54S I usually just have it blinking all the time at night as the remote...
On the Maxim-X the lights go off when the starter button is pushed to give the starter all the juice it can use. The Raiden, being a close cousin...
I recently picked up this 82 xj650 and MaximX motor mainly for the MaximX motor as mine is frozen (another story, not very exciting). I got them...
Not to be nit picky Rick, but Install Funnel into gallon Milk Jug marked at 2.7 Gal. probably needs to be Install Funnel into gallon Milk...

Re: Unwanted Maxim X Radiator Fan Switch Modification (UPDAT Thanks for this. I have been considering the manual switch for some time, but...
What you see as the head of the carriage bolt is actually a plug, according to the schematic, with the head of the actual bolt underneath. I...
I personally would think about getting a windshield before taking a trip like that. Five hours in 70-80 mph wind is no fun. It would also do a...
Which xj700 do you have? If you have the X(with the radiator), there is the added complication of that to deal with, not hard, but a...
I'm just wondering why they had to go and intentionally screw up a perfectly good XJ, and not another less desirable (by me at least) bike. They...
My XJ700x that I just got on the road a few weeks ago. [img] What I started with back in February. [img]
This bike is not only priced way too high IMHO, but he has several of his facts about the bike wrong....
I found that when I rebuilt my petcock, that the plunger didn't quite seat, and the reason was that the metal disk was very slightly cupped. Some...
It is my understanding that the xj700 air-heads use the Hitachi carbs. The Mikuni carbs are only on the xj700x or water-heads.
Back in February I purchased this bike that I thought I could put on the road fairly quickly. After doing a little research, I found this site,...
I the fan is blowing toward the radiator, it would be pushing against the air trying to come through naturally when you are moving. My fan comes...
I have a xj700x that I'm in the final stages of recommissioning it. I had it running yesterday, but things are still not quite put back together....
I was thinking of doing mine in addition to the regular keyed ignition, which would retain the steering lock. Probably in the neutral switch...
From what I can tell, you should be able to mount the fairing that you pictured directly on those tabs.
I've been thinking about doing something similar, but with rfid, which will be similar to a chipped car key that will only allow keys that have...
You may need to add something like this ... cafe fairing/headlight mount CHROME to have a mounting point for the fairing.
I came to the realization soon after stumbling upon this site, soon after I acquired this bike, that I had been very foolish with my other rides...
Hello from Orlando, been perusing the forums for a while now since I got this xj700x. It was in really rough condition, and still is, but am...
