    Picked up an 82 Maxim in a yard sale for $100. In v.g. condition but its been sitting for a few years so needs carb overhaul, etc. Can't find the correct size of the engine. VIN is partially peeled off, but the model ID is 11G. Can someone enlighten me on what I have??

    The 11G is for a Candian XJ1100.

    Nice pick up!

    You should be able to find the rest of the VIN stamped on the engine, assuming it's still the original. Chacal's link spells out how to ID your bike to the T.

    Thanks for the info, I now know why it's so heavy !!! Where the best place to get a manual? All the carb hoses from the fuel tank and two petcocks sure make things confusing.
