Wanted 82 XJ650 Maxim Engine

Was wondering if anyone has an 82 650 engine or know where I can get one? Mine needs to be rebuilt or replaced.

 

How far are you willing to travel?

 

About 300 miles from Virginia Beach, VA

 

Oh, ok--I'm about double that

 

Dang. I have heard that a 750 engine will fit in the 82 650 frame, what about the seca (650 and 750) engine in that frame?

 

Same thing.....except the turbo

Read the engine swap section of the information overload hour

 

cl ads for 650 maybe he will ship it to you $295

YAMAHA XJ 650 ENGINE....

 

You'll never regret putting a 750 motor in your 650.just make sure you use 750 carbs to go with it, makes setup a snap.

 

650 midnight maxims were 1981…

 

750 into a 650 swap is covered in the engine swap section…

 

Also, the 1980 Engine s a little bit different than 1982 internally… If I remember correctly it's something to do with the output gears or something-

 

first question to seller would/should be for the motor vin.

 

It 3on't really matter, just. For sticking an engine in, but if you ever have to do transmission work inside--that's where you need to know what engine it really is. Also, the "Midnight Maxim" is pretty much the same as a standard Maxim- except for a few specific parts-the color, trim and gold appointments are the big differences.

 

Do you still need an engine?

 

No, found a 750 replacement.

 

I have an 81 650 maxim. Good motor, needs tranny work.

 

Umm... the tranny in inside the engine. Justify your reply, please---

 

Right. Engine runs fine. Neutral gate is out. 1st and 2nd pop into neutral. 21,000 miles and never laid down. Needs tranny rebuild.

 

Maybe just a shifter fork is bent
