Don't know my modell

Hi all.

I am the new owner of a 1985 XJ 700 Maxim, but I don't know the right version of that bike.

At web I found 2 Maxim versions in 1985.

- XJ 700 Maxim N
- XJ 700 Maxim NC

What's the different between this versions?

My bike has the Identnr. JYA1FG000FA002695

Who knows the right version of my bike.

Thanks!

 

Welcome to the site Achim.
I came across the site below that lists the NC model as sold in Canada only, but your serial # is prior to what's posted there! So I'm not certain, someone else may clarify this.

I've got the CERTIFICATE OF TITLE from the STATE OF OKLAHOMA of my bike.

Inside you find this

Body Type: RS
Model: XJ0

 

I think your English is great to be honest.

I've seen the NC listed as a California model due to their emmission standards.

I know that didnt answer your question, but I'll keep looking.

 

Welcome Achim;
The 1FG in your serial# designates your model XJ700N.
The XJ700NC has 1JJ as the model#
According to the xjcd they are both 85 models sold in the US market.
So DudeBozo may be right that the C is for California, But I don't know this for sure.
It's a nice looking ride.

 

I've done a little more research Achim. From what I've been able to find the NC is indeed a California identifier. jdrich48 answered the question about which model you have, and coincidently the one I have as well.

Here's a link to a microfiche file of the California gas tank.

@ DudeBozo

I think it's a XJ700N, because I don't have the Part.No 24,25,26,27,28,29 and 30 from your link

My fuel-tank is looking like this picture.

Yep, jdrich48 noted that your numbers are that of a XJ700N. My tank is the same as yours. Good looking bike you've got. I hope you enjoy it as much as I do mine.

 

I can relate, my FZR is an AC and it caused me a little trouble with parts due to all the emissions crud.

 

@ DudeBozo

I enjoy riding that bike.

My problem is only our Yamaha-dealer, because he don't have any partnumbers of my bike.
His computer knows only all bikes from 1986 and younger.
If I have any problems or need some parts, I must tell him the right partnumbers.
That is the reason for asking about version of my bike.

 

I have had some of the same issues here with part numbers. Try this link to the microfilm drawings, they help a lot.

Also this site was referenced somewhere else on this website so I can't take credit for it, but works well also. Just proceed to the catalog and enter your information from the drop-down menu.

Hope that helps.

 

I have found the Yamaha Parts Catalog.

Thanks to all of you.
