Sounds like a fair trade. :lol:
I actually enjoyed the ride home from the seller's, about a 60 mile run. Highway cruising suits me well. I had the Maxim on 2 road trips, and it...
I've wandered over to the dark side. Resistance was futile. I couldn't help myself. I saw this on CL, and I turned to jelly! [img] [img]...
FWIW, The two 1981 maxim 650's pictured both have YICS motors, which would suggest that they are 1982 or newer. If I'm wrong, someone please...
Search your local area for a shop that repairs luggage. I found one near Seattle that had blanks in stock for my Samsonite hardbags. Vetter bags...
My goodness, the bottom of this trailer is so dirty! I wonder if I have a bottle of 409 and some paper towels in the trunk?
PM sent.
I always carry a small address book in my hip pocket which has my ICE info.
I did the exact same thing to mine. It works fine. Leave it alone. Sounds like you have bigger fish to fry right now.
A section of chrome fender from a smaller bike could work too. But I'd rather buy one from the inventor so he benefits from his idea. And a fine...
How old is that battery? If it's more than 2-3 years old, I would be suspicious. If it still won't crank after replacing the battery with a...
Western WA Meetup For Bill Here's a link to a thread from the meetup we had to sign the card for Bill's family. That was a fine day.
And louder exhaust! :lol:
Yes, I am older than my XJ, by 24 years. And I think I am due for an oil change and a carb sync.
Re: looking for a front master cylinder for a 1982 maxim 650 I have one from an 81, but it will need to be rebuilt.
<http://www.backfiremoto.com> The next event is this coming Wednesday 8/17, 4:00 PM. I'm going to try to make it.
I usually just buy parts from Chacal/XJ4ever. Tires I buy from bikebandit.com. Not familiar with Seattle area shops, but if you can attend a...
Did you happen to notice the date on the original post? This section doesn't see a lot of activity, so it's not unusual to see 2-3 years worth of...
Re: Tri-Cities, Washington- or surrounding areas(SE Washingt Hey Loren, give me a shout if you come up to Whidbey. I'm right along the way.
Maxim or Seca? Bear in mind that if you are bobbing a Maxim and use anything other than stock bars, then the stock master cylinder will not work,...
Back at ya!
Good thing you have the Maxim. Looks like the dog pretty much owns the scooter. :)
Welcome. Photobucket works fine for me. Good luck with your bike. You can learn pretty much everything you need to know right here.
If I may ask, where in Washington exactly are you? (Not you, Loren. I know where you are! :))
Look in my gallery for pics of my 81 Maxim 650 with Samsonite hard bags and Windjammer fairing.
Nobody? Okay, coming down tomorrow. In my cage due to sketchy weather forecast.
Done!
I may be paying a visit to Portland during the last week of June. Anyone up for a ride or a meetup?
And don't forget the CATS!! I store my bike in a tent garage and I can't keep the cats off it! I have to wipe the cat fur off the seat and tank...
This is where I found mine: U Need A Part Nationwide network of salvage yards. Tell them what you need and they email you when they find it.
Send him a money order and ask him to pay your shipper. :lol:
Nice looking bike. Now get it out of the garage and go ride! :D
Pretty cool looking bike there Chris. I wish you luck resolving your issues. I don't get to Tacoma much, but I have been known to show up at...
Over 50K on mine, and I did 150 miles of slab yesterday without skipping a beat.
LOL @ the 535 guy! "NEVER leave your keys in your bike, dumbass!!! :lol:
I have one! Not new, but I'm pretty sure it works. You want? Make an offer. Screws and seal included.

I like #2, 1981 Yamaha XJ650H Maxim.

Re: '81 XJ 650 parts 4 sale clear title fairing winshield CH I only need the mufflers.
Re: '81 XJ 650 for sale, or parts clear title fairing winshi How much for the mufflers, shipped to 98292?
I'd guess 80-81. And the owner's manual CLEARLY states that this model is not designed to be used with a sidecar or a trailer. What a maverick!...
If your bike still has the original rubber brake lines, you might want to consider adding steel braided brake lines to your winter replacement...
