1985 Maxim xj700n part out unless...

by the weekend of June 4th, the issue is not sorted, I am parting an extremely nice 85 maxim xj700n. I believe if this happens, the exhaust is already spoken for. Here are pictures BEFORE I got it. The luggage rack is MINE and not on the bike. The backrest is available, but has no pad on it. It has ~11k on it. Guages are PERFECT, tank is PERFECT inside and out, Seats are oem and nice. Tires are probably staying with me as they have 35 miles on them. I will keep an eye on this post. Post up what you need and send me a sane reasonable offer. I'm going to lose money on this, but it's got to go, I'm tired of looking at it. Btw, the engine has 120psi across the board. Anyone semi local? I'll take 850 for the bike whole, minus tires. And yes, I had it running, took it for a 35 mile ride, rode like a champ.

Mike, if you know someone there, I'll deliver it....

I will add updated/clean bike pics later today...

 

I could use the speedometer and the chrome air box covers. for around $35? Let me know. Thanks

 

I'm interested in the engine guards if your bike doesn't work out.

 

You're going to get rid of it in parts and wish you'd kept it. Didn't you restore this bike?

 

The guages will go as a set with the covers. And 35 is a bit low. I'll check for the airbox covers. I have a few sets.

This bike will NOT run. DesingerMike has the carbs right now and he's checking into them to see if I missed something. If he can't find something, it's being parted, and probably junked.

 

damn- if you werent so far away I'd snatch the engine....and then RESTORE my 700...


btw- i'm going to wal fart to get the check Tonight... it's raining so i dont have to work til the cows come home.... can you pm me your adress- I dont have the box you shipped my my regulator in.

lol, and about the regulator- mine turned out not to be bad i guess- i was riding the bike for awhile without it and then it quit because it was running off the battery, so i char4ged it up and said what the heck, plugged in my regulator, stayed running, turned it off and it started right up.

 

Take a closer photo of the gagues etc please.. Are they MPH or KPH? I might be interested for the right ones? Only if they'd work on a XJ900 85 frame... US$60?

 

How much for the handlebar controls.. I only need the left one, but Ill take both if you dont want to part them.

 

I'm interested in the tank. Let me know how much you want for it shipped to 28348.

 

Are the mirrors the original ones with Yamaha on the back? Plus do you know if the crash bars will fit the 750 Maxim-X Canadian model? I know someone already asked about the crash bars, but haven't seen any updates on what's been sold.
Prices and shipping costs to London Ontario Canada, U.S.P.S. please, no UPS or FED-EX as they crucify us on brokerage charges.
Example: $10.00 part, $50.00 brokerage fee! 8O


Cheers, Graham

 

the mirrors are oem, not perfect, but nice.
the guages are mph, and I don't know if they will fit an 85 xj900. I guarantee you, the guages are PERFECT.
I will let you know on the tank. The only thing holding this up is whether or not it will go after desingermike takes a gander at it...2 weeks

 

pics for those who asked, this is the bike after the clean up today, ok, maybe not spotless, but better than it was.
the tank has NO dents and the pain is extremely nice, yet not perfect
Guages are perfect, no wrinkles, scratches or anything.
Crash guards are spoken for by a forum member that pm'd me, and they are flawless. Exhaust came off my bike, and is extremely nice. If I can't get this thing going in 2 weeks, I'll disassemble and take better pics then.
If you want a picture of something, pm me with your e mail address. The tci/rectifier are all good. Seats are original oem. Bars are perfect.

 

Damn. I really like those gagues, but MPH is not going to cut it, thanks anyway.

 

that's too bad, because they are about as mint as you can get.

 

Yeah I can see that, but the Swiss laws prohibit me from using a clock with miles for the odeometer.. I could have changed the background of the speedo, I'm sure, but I can't change the trip counter..

Oh well.. Good luck with the sale..

 

hey mcrwt644...pm'd ya

 

I'm interested in the handlebars. I'll send a PM on the price.

 

I think I'm going to ebay with it. I've had some ok offers, and some down right insulting ones. I have to recover the cost of the bike, or close to it.

 

You should just post what you think is reasonable for some of the items, I would be interested in the seat and speedometer gauges.......whats fair to you?

 

What would you want for the stator (if it is tested and working) as well as the rear left turn signal?

 

carb diagnosis has not happened. I will post a new thread with results....I've been up to my elbows in x engine work

 

That X-Bike is way too nice to Part-out.

Detail the whole Bike and have Wizard or BigFitz take an amazing photograph of it and put it on Ebay.

Be honest.
Set a starting price where you break-even.

Somewhere, there is a young guy looking for your Bike.
Not just any Bike that will come along.
A Maxim-X
He's probably asked owners of Bikes he's serviced if they want to sell theirs.
Because this Wrencher keeps their Bike tip-top they don't sell.

You start parting it out and it becomes a non-entity.
Nobody wants it without what you sold off it.
And another crying shame starts collecting dust.

 

Hey everyone, I have 85 xj700x and i need a start button.

 

my brother is looking at an 86 that is for sale cheep, but it's missing the airbox, will this one work, and how much?

 

Got a stator, thanks though

 

Hi, Is the tank still for sale? Plz contact me on brille@gmail.com
Or anyone else whos got a Maxim tank for sale

 

Do you still have the speedometer? If so, what's the asking price?

 

My apologies for not updating this sooner. I've been busy installing and tuning x's engine and carbs.

Designer_mike has my carbs. We have a carb clinic the end of this month. We hope to get the stupid thing running by then. If not, it's being parted with the exception of a few parts that I'm keeping for myself.

The wheels and tires are staying with me. I want them on my X. The crash bars, unless someone gives me a smokin price, are staying. I do have a pair of Chrome bars that are in great shape I'm willing to part with though.

I have gotten royally screwed on shipping, so the parts I list will not include shipping.

The guages go as a set $100
Carbs are new looking $100
Handle bars are in great shape $30
Air box is very good, for anyone that has an x, this will work, but you will need different carb to airbox boots. $25
Both seats $50
Tank $100l
Key set, complete, $30
CDI $30
Rectifier $20r
anything else, go to my profile and e mail me, put xj700n in the subject and what you want as well. Thanks, I'm going to take a beating, but oh well

 

HELLO, I AM INTERESTED TO TANK.
IT'S THE TANK OF 700X?
HOW MUCH IS SHIPPING TO ITALY?

 

I HAVE SEEN THE MODEL NOW ... THE MODEL IS THE SAME.
Notify HOW MUCH IS SHIPPING TO ITALY, and paid with PAYPAL
CONTACT ME IN PRIVATE.

 

FYI...Designer_mike found a few issues with the carbs and has float levels set correctly. The oem 'n' needles would not hold a float height...He said the springs in the needles seemed too weak even though they were oem.

He replaced them with 'x' needles and compensated for the longer length by re adjusting the float levels. I will have the carbs by the close of this week and will re adjust fire from there. If it runs and rides, I might just keep it. If it doesn't, it's getting parted...It'll be first come first served.

Actually I found out I need the speedo gear by the front wheel not the speedo itself.

Do you still have that and what's your asking price?

 

Noone reads previous posts I guess. The bike is for sale for 1300 to any forum member. The bike is

ON THE ROAD and WILL NOT BE PARTED OUT.

Not to be short, but I keep getting pinged for parts and it isn't being parted.

 

edit your original post....change the title....itll fix everything.

 

is the tank still available? if so how much shipped to 18944, thanks
