Hi. I am confused about how to remove cam chain tensioner and I don't want to mess it up. In service manual for engine disassembly, it says...
Forgot to mention that V-Max has 18" front wheel, X has 19" front wheel. So the front would get lower and a bit heavier, plus better braking ability
Wobbling only at high speeds with luggage above/around rear wheel. It's important that rear wheel weights as little as possible so that output...
Hi. I wonder if this will fit my XJ700XS...
Well... I use spray protection for electronics but it does not last long
Thanks for the info. Apparently, mini coils do work. "Standard" dyna coils have the same design as OEMs. I ride in winter, and that's what happens...
I see. Will XJ900 S DIVERSION 1995-2004 NGK or 1984-1993 YAMAHA FJ1100 FJ 1100 caps with resistor fit? OEM's for X cost too much to consider them
By the way, why run resistor plugs? Aren't they just for radio noise cancelling?
Do you have the pictures of what you had to do to mount them? I am considering these as well for my X
I see. I have to admit I did not look well into it. I want to order Dynatek Dyna DC1-2 Miniature 3 ohm Dual Output Coils and I just try to figure...
Welcome to the site. I salute you for being smart and keeping air box, not installing gay air pods. They are very wrong kind of gay. Good luck...
Yes, I am. ADV is the only way to get the full picture of any country. My Maxim X has visited 8 so far.
How did you get around ignition points sensor? Or there is none on your model?Any experience with Dynatek on XJ700X?
Do you still have this bike? 750X with Fazer 1000 block was on the roads here in Norway, it was totalled a couple years ago. Considering how rare...
Not a showroom bike but it has little to do with how it would look, rather perform. I just like working on my bike and there are a lot of things...
Gotcha. I had my hopes up and my mind racing, but this would too good and too easy to be true. Nothing is easy when it comes to X. It has probably...
Is it just me or does this look like it will fit the X as well? I plan to overhaul engine soon and big bore kit is cheaper than OEM separate...
50gary, you are right, I somehow overlooked the fact that shocks are laid down. Upright forks would be surely better, but the handling at higher...
Well, 2020 Africa Twin is pretty much the bike that would cover my needs. But 1. It's not nearly as much fun as 1986 X. 2. I like ergonomics of my...
So my X gets to ride on what's on these pictures, plus roads in some countries are worse than unpaved roads
Clearance could be better, amen to that. But by off-road I mean unpaved roads, tractor roads, lumberjack roads and such. I rode some deer paths...
Hi, does anybody here ride Maxim X off-road? I want to invest into good suspension because I will be going to Africa this year from Norway. I ride...
Had to dig through some old bike photos and found out clutch cable indeed goes between 3 and 4 carb sleeves. And chain lube is not suitable for...
Hi! I've been working on my X and had to put it on wait for some time because of injuries I had, 2 prolapsed spinal discs and a week on meds, now...
Sooo, these are vent hoses that should just hang down? They don't connect to any nipple or something?
I will do valve adjustment and on my XJ700XS, and I wonder where you guys buy shim pads? They'd cost a fortune if I'd order them from my local...
My bike was running great so I thought I won't need any parts either. But now it won't start from electric start, but if I push it in 2nd gear it...
If you think emblems are expensive, try to buy "5 valve" carb emblem for Maxim X. I've seen two in poor shape got sold for $180 @ Ebay auction....
Yes, that's true. Parts are getting hard to find and it won't get easier for owners of rare bikes like Maxim X, so I plan to modify the bike to...
Hi there. I am surfing internet pretty often in search for parts for my bike since it is 32 year old and some parts have to be replaced from time...
Norwegian animation kick arse as well, have you seen Flåklyppa? Check out that moment at 22 seconds when the cars pulls off... Best effect in the...
I used that Chrome extension, Photobucket Embedded Image Fix, which was recommended by one of the members above - now I can see all the pictures....
I have always thought that people imply love glove in that saying haha. Not as critical as to not confuse Bodyglide with Yamalube lol
Hello everybody, I live in Norway and I've bought myself 1986 XJ700X Maxim. It is in bad shape, the only thing that is solid on it is it's engine....
This, sir, is by far the most legendary transformation I have ever seen! I've been to Britain several times, my sister lives close to Chester now...
Hehe, good to know. Do you know by chance if this YAMAHA sign on fuel tank is stock? Is it glued to it? Is there a smooth surface under it? I'm...
Well, the thread name sounds very promising - Unobtanium
Hello! I wonder if any of you have these plastics for sale (XJ700X Maxim) or know where I can buy them. Tried new parts pages with no luck, they...
How much gear oil does XJ700X need? Can't find it anywhere and I have both workshop manual and usual service manual. It states SAE80 API GL-4...
It's branding - shining package and bold statements. OEM filters are nowhere to be seen...
Where do you buy them? All I run into om the internet are UNI OEM replacement and K&N. UNI boasts both better filtration and higher airflow than...
You sirs are right. Thank you for advice. Will keep it stock. http://www.nicoclub.com/archives/kn-vs-oem-filter.html
Don't plan to gain anything, they are convenient to clean. It's the first time I hear that K&N don't filter much - how so?
Norway, Sogn og Fjordane B)
I'm in Norway and always looking forward to ride with new people
Not even change to K&N air filter? I am kind of used to them 'cause they last as long as the bike does.
Hello. I have just bought me 1986 XJ700 Maxim and I have fallen in love with it. Happy with power and everything, but I want it to run as smooth...
