I have the same 5,000 problem. Makes me feel better that it's not 'my' bike, but it's something with these 'bikes'. Here's my thread;...
I thought I'd ask to take the bottom off to save them money shipping from the farthest place possible in the U.S. (NW to SE). Probably not worth...
Oh, I forgot about that. Of course, the lowers are different. I may just have him send the best upper, and he can keep the lower to save on...
Would not be the first time (or second, or third, or forth) people on the forums are wrong. What if you got a job there, and now your the guy...
Didn't have time to check yet, but did find out another thing. I took it out this morning. When I first started, it didn't do it at ll. As I rode...
OK, I'll check the suggestions. The rattling is in the motor.
I do have an official Genuine Yamaha Service Manual that is full of typos. Wonder whats wrong with these guys? On the software, the guy had a...
I'm not going by a website, I'm going by Factory Yamaha lists it as not being the same. Could be, but I've ordered other parts and Midnight was...
Thank you for the response. The description is not what I would describe as normal. This just started resonantly. and is bad enough that it makes...
I have a vibration only at 5,000 rpm. Ridding around, bike runs really good. As I go up in rpm's, it's smooth, until I get to 5,000 rpm. I have...
Nope, they are not all the same. 83 XJ750 Maxim and Midnight Maxim are not the same. They use different tubes. Don't feel bad, your not the only...
Each link you suppled will not work. They are from a bike that does not have the same fork tube as mine. Thank you, Chris.
No, selling the bike. To replace the entire front is to expensive. Just looking for a upper tube.
Just verified that the only fork that will work is a 1983 XJ750 Maxim. All other years and models will not work. Just 1983 XJ750 Maxim. Still...
I don't see a side air fork hookup in the photo. Mine is 1983 maxim, comes with a air hookup straight up in the center of the fork (you have to...
Sent you a private message.
Sorry I didn't put that in the post. I was at the Yamaha Shop when he looked it up. The screen *he had* listed the 82 and 83 the same part number....
Still looking for an Upper Fork Tube. The only one that will fit are from a 1982 or 1983 XJ750 Maxim. None of the other years or models are the...
If I can't sell it, and have to keep it (all my motorcycle buddies are encouraging me to keep it), I don't want to have another add water battery....
Thank you for making my point. The battery at walmart is in my bike. I would like to replace it with one you don't have to add water. A...
Problem is, the one local is $85 and I want to sell my bike. They have nice good ones on ebay for $40 but they say it doesn't fit. Chris.
Well, actually it does. I'm not going to buy a battery online, have it shipped to me, when the place I'm ordering it from says it doesn't fit my...
I'm getting the battery so I can sell the bike. I don't want to put a lot of money in it. I don't want the cheapest tho. Best, cheapest...
Last year, I bought a new battery the shop had to order. When it came in, it didn't fit (to big). It went out completely this year, so I need to...
The plastic piece that hooks into the base is still there. The wires got pulled out of the plug. I practically totaled my bike putting on the...
I was putting on new handle bars and the wires that come out of my clutch lever tore out. I can't figure out what they go to, since nothing I can...
How much for the spedo and tac? How come your forks are sagging so much? Even if I don't have air in mine, they don't sink that low.
Over one hundred dollars for just a fork tube is to high for me. Thanks for replying. Chris.
I need one also. I just need the one on the right. Chris.
Your kind of far away, but I'm looking for an upper fork tube. Chris.
One fork tube is slightly bent. It throws the whole bike off when turning. Anything other then a 1982 0r 83 750 Maxim is different inside. I could...
Thank you for the reply. I PERSONALLY would go by the Yamaha part number, at the shop, over most of these people.
The local shop in my town said 1982 or 1983 xj750 Maxim will fit.
Actually, the fork inside is different. It's not the same with just the part where the disc hooks onto different. It's different inside. I can't...
Not sure what you mean by "front end." I know the forks are different on a 650 then a 750.
No, sorry, "very obviously a 750 Maxim" would have a double disc up front. This one doesn't, so it's not obviously a 750. It can be, but it's not...
I was going to ask about an upper fork tube. I notice you only have one disc up front. The 83 750 has two, the 650 has one like the picture. Are...
Still looking for an 1982-1983 XJ750, Upper Fork Tube. Chris.
When mine started doing this, I got a new battery and it fixed it. Now, when it starts doing it, I check the battery and its always low. Get the...
I'm looking for a good, cheap upper for tube. I understand about not splitting them up, but if you ever need to get rid of them, or if you find...
Oh, your killing me!! I've needed a upper fork tube for a 83XJ750 for a year. Not only that, I'm right over by you!!! Chris.
Yes. The only thing Yamaha says fits is the 1982 or 1983 XJ750 Maxim. I could get another "front end" but I was hoping to only have to buy the one...
I found out it is not the same. Thank you for the offer. In my post, I described it as "the top part." It's actually the "inside" part. Wouldn't...
Can't beleave I haven't got any more leads or fork tubes. If you still have them, can you take the weight off, measure from the top of the tube,...
So far, I was able to find they are the same circumference. The fork seal number is the same for both forks. Could be shorter or a be different...
What year 650?
I'm looking for a good, cheap fork tube for a 1983 XJ750 Maxim. For shipping, I just need the top part. Not sure what years and size bikes fit....
I am absolutely positive they are bent. I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. I even took it to a friend, I didn't tell him, just had him...
I was only coasting about 8mph and tipped over. I couldn't believe it, but my fork bent. I'm looking for a good fork tube cheap (Selling bike). I...
I took my stock XJ750 Maxim on a Motocross track. Didn't handle as good as my old racing dirt bike. The landing off the big jump didn't go as good...
