    Wow, I did not expect to see a 10k redline on that... cool little dude... does it vibrate like the xs650's do?

    I just saw a Maxim version of the 1983 XS400 for sale. Super nice shape. I just need to win the lottery.

    The hard one to get would be the xj400 maxim..... Japanese market only.

    the 400 has several iterations...... both single cam and two cam

    xs400 Special - 2 cyl
    xs400 seca - 2 cyl
    xs400 maxim - 2 cyl
    xj400 maxim - 4 cyl

    I had an xs400 special awhile back, but it didn’t do anything for me....

    Hello,
    I have a tank for a 82 xj650. Don't know if that will fit your 550.

    It will fit but the hooks inside the tank tunnel need to be removed and relocated rearward, otherwise the tail of the tank is too far back.
