    Google is your friend...
    I found it about two days after I bought my Seca.
    Very nice place to hang around.

    I'm in Portugal,

    Maxims and Secas are very very rares in here

    BUT I'VE FOUND ONE!!! ('82 Maxim 750)

    So, i wanted to know more about it... and i've found this wonderful Forum!!

    The only thing missing is the Maxim (the owner is being hard to negociate with)

    I hope to be aMaxim owner

    I also found this site through Google but only after countless iterations of "Yamaha XJ750 Seca Maxim". I can't even remember which one finally led me here but I'm grateful. The guys at the Yamaha metric cruiser site are very nice but I think I'll find more info here.

    I was given the link to this site by a fella on the Ventures site ( www://venturers.org). They are great people and helpful, when I posted about gearing up my Midnight Maxim, someone gave me the link thinking it would help me out.
    I give my thanks to him :D

    I got my '85 xj700n from my brother inlaw and I didn't know anything about this bike. I was checking the net when I found the link to this site.
    After I read a few topics I felt I found a pot of gold. Thanks a lot to everyone for your contributions.

    I was looking for a fairing for my 82 XJ750r seca, and this sight popped up. I was happy to see that others are out there sharing all the information
    they have on these bikes.

    Hi All! New to the Forum here. Found you guys from a mention in a comment on MotorcycleSurvey.com when I was doing a general search for 1982 Yamaha Maxim Parts. Guess you could say that resulted from an original Google search.

    My ride is a 1982 Yamaha Maxim 750 which I inherited from my Dad, making me the second owner! It's my only ride and therefore a daily driver/workhorse. We reside in Florida and unfortunately the bike lives outside.

    Needless to say the aluminum parts on it are, well shall we say a bit lack luster? Since I live at the end of a horrible two mile long dirt road the poor bike ends up spending a fair amount of time imitating a dirt bike. So... the bottom end of the bike is well, shall we say rather "naturally insulated"?

    All in all though the bike runs fairly well and I've had a few repairs done on it. Mostly due as a result of the several years it spent stored in Dad's shed when he became to disabled to ride.

    I'll peruse the rest of the forums and post in appropriate threads regarding my concerns and with questions.

    Glad I found this site - looks like lots of good info and exchanges going on!

    Cheers!
    Kim

    Hi folks, just dropped in quickly to say hello. Found the site whilst looking for inspiration towards my XJ750 rat/bobber project.
    Got the bike cheap from someone who got caught, and banned bless him. I've already spent money having the carbs cleaned, stripping and restoring brakes and replacing bars, cables, mirrors etc.
    I'm remodelling the seat and rear end, and front guard has been replaced with a cut down enduro tyre. Will post pics when I get some spare time and work out how to set up a gallery on here.
    God bless you all, ride safe, Pikey Mick

    When I was looking to buy my XJ last year I wanted to find out more info about the bikes. After a few Google searches, I ended up here.

    I google my way here also. I tell people about this site. IMO my XJ is great but this site is priceless.


    Seldom in the course of human events have so many owed so much to so few.


    Thanks Guru's
