Thats too bad. I thought this was the place for Maxim enthusiasts. What would an appropriate price be? Milage is at least 100,00 km. Speedo was...
Zero interest??? Too much $ ?
With a very heavy heart the time has come to sell my beloved 1982 Maxim 750. I am the second owner purchased in 1987. Unfortunately my wife and I...
[IMG] Next winter we are thinking about taking a motorhome/camper and doing some travelling in the south. We would like to bring the Maxim along...
Maybe check the bearings? I put a new tire on this spring and after 37 years the bearings where getting a little stiff.
I do as little as possible and only when necessary.
Installed a new front tire and changed the bearings in the wheel. Now its raining again. :confused:
Changed the oil on Sunday and must have been distracted as I topped up the last little bit of oil because I forgot to put the oil cap back on. I...
Near Barrie. Temp should be 22+ and still only 13 degrees by mid day and now its raining. :mad:
Stood beside my bike and shivered again this morning. Only 6 degrees Celsius. We have only had two days above 10 D,C in the morning this entire...
Not a speed demon. Still alive too. 120 kph is just fine as a maximum speed for me. Usually only hit that when on the highway. To each their own.
Thats plenty for me :) I probably only get about half way to 8000 rpm o_O
Thats where it normally sits when the bike isnt running ;)
Are you looking for just the faceplate in kilometers? If so I now have a spare.

Just finished replacing the guages on my XJ. New GPS speedo...
Found a reasonable insurance policy. Thanks Mattithunder. Riders Plus Insurance! Ridersplus.com Cost 590.00 down from 885.00 with the company...
Thanks. I tried them too. More than my current insurer. Not by much but still more. I have heard insurance companies in Canada do not even want to...
I've been riding and insured since I was 18 about to turn 51. No accidents etc. Ontario (Canada) = screwed. I guess.
Eighty five dollars a year?!! Best I have found is 700.00 for the year which is maybe 5 months in reality. Wow.
Any suggestions for a cheap insurance company? Been insured with current broker for years. No accidents no claims and the rate is getting out of...
Hair tie and tuck it in the back of my helmet.
Nice bike! My first motorcycle was a '78 Kawi 400. Very similar but in green.
On the topic of penetrating fluids: [MEDIA] Love this guys channel.
Love that term "Podlems"
That i would like to see!!
Tucked mine away for the winter. :(
I found this to be a very informative article. http://www.gomog.com/allmorgan/exhaustbackpressure.html .
I think most of us in Ontario thought we where all gonna die when the temps stayed over 32 d C for most of the summer. lol
Awesome. Thanks everyone.
Thanks for the suggestion. I was aware of an oil cooler option but I almost never get stuck in traffic. Where I ride mostly from work to home and...
This summer was a real Hot one in Ontario this year with temps passing 30 degrees C quite often. Very rarely do I ever have to sit in traffic...
Thanks!
Will these windshields work with the aluminum Maxim handlebars?
OMG! :eek:
Changed the oil & filter. Replaced brake pads. Only down to 3mm on thinnest pad, could have probably gone another season or two but I had already...
Ick...
I have had a direct fit UNI filter in my bike for years now. Clean it once a season, at most, and have zero issues with it. Slides in and out just...
Very good thinking.
I will second that request. Very sexy and well engineered bike stock.
Welcome. Bike looks awesome. Just west of Barrie myself.
Hmmmm wish I had seen this post earlier. Have company coming over that day. Anyone know if another clinic is being held later on possibly a little...
If you used motor oil on the seal or petroleum based grease I strongly suggest you throw them out and get new ones and thoroughly clean the...
The "Atari" gauge cluster really caught my eye. Thought it was a very cool innovation and way ahead of most bikes on the road at that time.
Installed a new AGM battery. Tired of replacing the old led acid batteries every two years. Fired her up and drove to work today.
I suppose it may depend on the area of the world you live in. Up here in Canada the roads are covered in salt and other corrosive materials to...
I also support the bead sealer especially on aluminum rims. Ive literally mounted Hundreds of tires and its the best insurance against leaks you...
Thanks! I have been wanting to change mine for a long time but 2.5" seemed so small for a guage. After seeing yours installed I am thinking they...
Cool. Looks great. What guages did you use?
