    So I can't seem to find the info anywhere on the final drive ratio of an xj. Mine is a 1980 XJ650 Maxim. I'm wondering if there are any of the others I can swap out for a little lower cruise rpm...ok ok higher top speed potential.

    I don't know the ratio but I have read here you can change the rear wheel from the maxim 16" to the Seca 18" which would lower your RPM and raise your top speed.
