What shocks did you get?
I feel my bike, 82 750 maxim is too soft and wallowy. I do have full luggage and that weight likely doesnt help. going over a bump, or curb into...
I also went to ndsu. Small world
Not to speak out my butt as I've not worked on 650. The repairs you need to do can be done in frame. The repairs you want to do require removing...
Yes you can remove the head with engine in bike. If you want to go further it's not much more work to pull cylinders, hone them and do new rings...
Thank you much!
What is the valve cover bolt thread? I cant get to mine to measure at the moment. I want to say M6 x 1.0 ?? I need to helicoil one of the...
this is hard for me to picture, but if your loose in the steering stem and just need to drop the tree there should be enough room to do so. only...
All are now sold. Thanks all!
This is my last muffler, it is a right side. It's in pretty good shape. I did my best to show it honestly. It has a dent in it, pictured, and...
All I have remaining, is one right hand muffler. Should anyone be looking for one.
Oh also my other left, when I was sorting these I had 4 sets, I put the As on my bike then there is a B and C set. This is the B and the last...
I am home now here is my best left. I did my best to get all angles and damage. There is one dent that is pictured. It is pretty shiny. Ignore...
I am not home right now. I will unwrap the best left I have and take pics for you
After looking at more reference photos I think gap is normal and that must be blind hole under there
How about the gap I pictured?
In looking at eBay for reference photos I think it's normal. Here you can see the underside with gasket and it had gap...
Follow up. This new gasket from Yamaha. These gaps supposed to be here? I don't have old gasket anymore to compare. Not pinched or rolled....
Are you guys doing RTV on your valve cover gasket? I think by convention a little would go in the corners of the half moon. Are you guys doing...
i can check. i saw your other posts, dont you have some now? but you might be missing the seals or they dont fit tight? maybe you are thinking...
very cool. i wonder if it would leak?
Ive never considered noise on DC. Are you concerned it would cause problems?

I have a pair of New Old Stock NOW side cover MAXIM emblems for xj650 I think 1980-1981 roughly 125mm x 25mm and have the pegs on the back of...
Mostly I guess I'm thinking will it hurt? I have tig I can big but would need practice and really would have to pull motor to get on its side....
I suppose a person could aluminium braze and build it up. Lower heat, but still that's a bunch of heat. Tig maybe, I've not had much luck with cast,
I should say the biggest chunk missing the top one has been that way as long as I've had it. The lower missing and crack are new. Well recently...
Discovered this today probably been that way a while. Makes me a little sad. But either way I'm still gonna ride it. Do I bother doing...
Yes in your situation if budget allows, take to a pro. This motor really had some corrosion huh?
you might try to hammer on a 12point socket thats close. but if it doesnt work you have damaged the bolt more. absolute worst case it grinding...
I meant to say desiccant, not desect. point is to keep moisture out.
I have 2 sets of extra Maxim 750 mufflers i would like to sell. In the process of buying replacements for mine I ended up with extras. Quality...

you've got the patience, you will succeed
Hooray!
Is it sold?
Don't do this without thinking it through. But are we at the point we beat up on the stud with the biggest hammer you got and hope for the best?...
Do you have an Air hammer? Even a small one. Put right on the stud the vibration will break up some rust at least
so the nut is off, you believe everything else of consequence in unbolted. but the stud is seized in the bore? correct? and in your trails you...
i couldnt say with any certainty. You have to take it off and at at least start wire brushing/wire wheeling it to get through the grim. bolts...
It's electric. For me I had to replace my tach with a used one. You could try cleaning it but I didn't have success
