Hi all, I am the owner of an 83 Maxim 750 that I've modded quite a bit, so when I saw someone selling an 81 Maxim 650 with a bobbed frame I...
Perfect, once again thank you @Rooster53 ! I am happy to announce a big success! I’ve finished the project and everything works (even with my...
Hey Everyone, So, it seems I've been off here for a while! Sorry, life got busy. When this thread was active I bought all the needed parts and...
This is super helpful Rooster! I looked in the shop manual and it was pointing towards the back of the gas tank as where my flasher relay is.......
I already made a mistake in my original post! I actually have a 83' XJ750 Maxim. So, something is different you're saying? I would just bypass...
Hi everyone, First off, I apologize if this is clearly written (at my level of understanding) somewhere else on this site, but I have looked...
sorry, forgot to type one word... an important one! The valve guide SEAL. I do plan to fix this even though it is running like a beaut right...
What I meant was that the stuck valve guide became unstuck when the weather warmed up and the engine was in regular use again. No gas...
I thought I would send a quick update. It seems like the weather has helped my issue! I have been running the bike the past two weeks with no...
1/2 trans fluid and 1/2 acetone to fix this?? So how do you go about this? Drain oil, valve cover off, pour in and let it sit, then what?...

So I am fine admitting that I am a complete NOOB to most engine work on a car or bike. I am a tinkerer and generally know how things work. This...
Thanks Polock! Very helpful. When it comes to buying gaskets, where can you even get them? Just with Chacal? Reason I ask is that I live in...
Hi all, Sorry if this seems too simple of a question, but I am new to the motorcycle world and have just began cutting my teeth at DIY engine...
Just trying to re-instate this post, as it's been over a year since the last post. Anyone from southern Alberta or Calgary that is up for a ride...
You got it... Canadian baby!
I’m not sure what you mean by the Atari or the XV (I’m a noob). The instrument cluster? I took a pic of mine.... does this seem like a Maxim to...
Im in Lethbridge, AB, not too far from you! Is the k version the same as the X? I’m a noob so I thought the Maxims were X models. Am I wrong?
Thanks for the reply. It's definitely a MAXIM, as I almost got a SECA instead - very different as you know. It is a pain though, because when I...
Hi all, The stock turn signals and seat brackets on my 1984 XJ750 Maxim seem to be in a horrible place for any sort of saddlebags. I've tried a...
Hi all, I just purchased a 1984 XJ750 Maxim a few months back and have been loving it! I've already done some minor repairs and updates, but feel...
