Haynes Manual For 1985 XJ700

Does anyone know of a Haynes manual that works well for a 1985 XJ700 Maxim? What resources do you all use for XJ700 repairs?

I am looking for something to help guide me through a carb rebuild. Would the XJCD be useful for this?

 

there is a whole list of downloadable manuals on this site somewhere... my printer ink cartridge complained but i told it to shut up and keep printing

 

There is not a Haynes or Clymer for the 85 xj700. There is a service manual available from Yamaha (if you can find it online) or you might be able to get one off ebay. I do not own the XJCD but everyone here raves about it. (It's on the list of stuff to purchase.)

 

There is also another XJCD type of software that you can get for tech type stuff. The price is a bit more, but it looks a bit more inter-active and user friendly. I'm right now waiting on my XJCD to arrive, but I ran across this link while bumping around the forum. www.zedder.com/itm00609.htm is where you can find the other CD

 

700 MANUALS ARE IN STOCK!:


lm2) Original reprinted FACTORY SERVICE MANUALS are also available. These full-size manuals covers all aspects of diagnosis, repair, and assembly for specific model bikes. These brand new, official Yamaha manuals are one of those "must-have" tools if you're going to be wrenching on your own bike. Plenty of photographs, diagrams, flowcharts, wiring charts (some of them even being correct!), torque values, etc. NOTE: cover design, color, and appearance may differ from originals.

NOTE: originally, Yamaha would not release a new service manual for each year's production, unless there had been significant changes in design, service procedures, features, etc......and even in those cases, even if there HAD been significant changes, they would not release an entirely new service manual, but merely a "supplement" to the past service manual for that model, and that supplement would highlight only the changes to procedures, etc. that would need to be followed.

For example: the 1980 XJ650 Maxim---being the first model in the XJ650 series---was issued a service manual by Yamaha. The 1981 XJ650 model, having no significant differences from the 1980 model, used the same 1980 XJ650 service manual. However, the 1982 XJ650 Maxim models had a number of meaningful difference in service procedures (first and foremost, the introduction of the YICS cylinder head design and system, which required a different synchronization procedure, a variation to the engine teardown and re-build procedures, etc.).

Rather than publish a brand new service manual for the 1982 XJ650 Maxim models, Yamaha merely published a service manual Supplement and instructed dealers to use the 1980 XJ650 Base Service Manual along with the 1982 XJ650 Supplementary Service Manual to properly service those bikes.....after all, 90% of the procedures in the 1980 XJ650 "base" Service Manual still applied and were valid for the 1982 XJ650 Maxim models, so why publish an entire new manual, when just a "supplement" would work?

This same process applies to many of the original models and their service manuals. The 1982 XJ750 Maxim models, for instance, used that same 1980 XJ650 Maxim Service Manual as the "base manual", and had a 75-page XJ750J Supplementary Service Manual that was to be used in conjunction with the base (1980 XJ650) manual.

That was then.

This is now: all of the Supplementary Service Manuals are rolled into the front of the "base manuals" for the individual manuals listed as reprints below. So for instance, the 1982-3 XJ650 Maxim Service Manual has both the 1980 XJ650 "Base" Service Manual AND the 1982-3 XJ650 Supplementary Service Manual bound together into one book.....no need to acquire two different books to have all of the correct procedures for working on your 1983 XJ650 Maxim. Same thought applies to the XJ750 Maxim Service Manuals.....they have the "base" 1980 XJ650 Maxim Service Manual, and also the XJ750 Maxim Supplementary Manual all bound together into one book.

Some manuals, such as the XJ550 Maxim and Seca Service Manual, will be labeled (on the cover) as a 1981 XJ550 Maxim/Seca Service Manual, when in fact it covers all three model years.

So when you purchase one of the manuals listed below, rest assured that it will have ALL of the correct procedures and information that will apply to the specific models for which it is listed as covering.

JACKPOT...I never thought to look here for service manuals, I was gonna buy one. Now to save it to the memory stick and take to work and print it out on company time.

Three days into XJ ownership and my wife is sick of the bike already! I look forward to the winter when I can sit in the garage and tinker till spring.

 

What's the difference between the XJ 700...S, N, and X?
How do I tell which one I have?

All I know is it's an 85 Maxim

XJ700 Models

NOTE: The North American market was treated to two different versions of the "XJ700" model (and, these bikes were never available overseas), the USA only received the smaller 700cc version of these bikes, which the Canadian market received both the 700cc and 750cc-engined versions. In addition, these bikes were produced in both a standard air-cooled version, and in a high-performance "Maxim-X" series that featured the 5-valves per cylinder "Genesis" engine, and these "X" models also featured a water-cooled engine block system.

Besides the engine-size and type differences, both the USA or Canadian versions are basically identical in design and features. The 750-engine versions of this bike (Canadian-only) are listed further below int he "XJ750 Models" section. ALL of the water-cooled, 750-engined versions of this "XJ700" style bike were the water-cooled versions and were "Maxim-X" models.
