it starts how stupid i feel

right ive got my maxim together, i thought it was an igniter problemb, but it isnt, theres a relay called the cut of of shut down for the bike, the brass type, wat does it do, as it starts, and everything works, but put it back on, and nowt happens, is it important, and can some one tell me wat it is,and the number on it, as mines rubbed of,, or where can i get 1,ta pips

 

Can you rephrase the question? I think you are saying there is a cut out device, which, if you bypass it the bike starts?

Try your manual or google for a free download.

 

havny got a manual, its to do with the side stand,and clutch, im sure some one knows wat it is,its a reallay thats by the fuse box?

 

If you google your bike and put "free manual" there will probably be one. Thats how I got my Haynes manual - only problem is Haynes just aren't anything like they used to be. I am overhauling my swing arm linkages - the manual says "Take to your dealer"!

It sounds like the relay that stops you starting the bike with the sidestand down or stops you starting it in gear unless the clutch is in.

As someone who rode off with the sidestand down with a girl on the back I was trying to impress, I'd try to fix it!!!

 

it cant be the side stand switch as i disconected the side stand before i had probs with it? but im not sure, hmmm i dont know wat i have yet, as people are saying its a 750,my little green slip. sais 700cc but the main log book when it comes will say it, as i cant read the frame numbers properlly as its been painted,

 

Post a photo of the bike and some US experts will be able to tell you.

I believe - from this site - there were import restrictions in the 80's so it could be a 700.

 

the restrictions were only for the US... we got the 700, everyone else got the 750cc model.

 

I was wondering if this bike was imported into the UK as I don't think they were called "Maxim"for the UK market - thats why I suggested maxim85 posted a pic.

 

ita a 1983 but manufactured, or bought over hear in 1996 number plate is stuck up on the sissy bar,not nudflapor rear fender, it states its a 700cc on log book, ill try and get pics soon, try this,first time i got it,now shes all together, but NEEDING EXHAUST and AIRBOX to finish, AND BATTERY BOX.wat is she?

 

so wat bike is she,any help please

 

Appears to be a 1983 XJ750 Maxim.

YOU NEED TO LOOK AT THE NUMBERS STAMPED INTO THE STEERING NECK FRAME TUBE, RIGHT SIDE, TO BE SURE. It's the only way you'll ever be able to tell for sure.

You should also look at the engine number, stamped into the flat, ribbed rectangular "pad" on the crankcase upper shell, just behind the clutch cover area.

Judging from the photograph above, I will bet you $100,000 that the bike you have is NOT an XJ700 model.

The "log book" is just a piece of paper, and subject to change, mis-interpretation, or mis-representation. The stamped numbers into the hard steel frame of the bike---in the headpipe---is much less easy to change, copy incorrectly, or mis-represent what the bike actually is.

 

bugger so ill have to take the paint of, to get to them, ta mate
