If you go over to XJ4ever and go to the paint section you will find all the original codes and maybe some in stock.
I do have the whole cluster and front wheel counter. PM me if interested.

Got an 86 750 maxim X here. Looking to part it out if anyone is interested. Headlight and forks are spoken for. [ATTACH] [ATTACH] [ATTACH]...
Mine has both, and they mention both in the manual, but whether the one you want still has both... Ask the seller
Looks sharp!
Any pitting or chrome edges catching it?
The valve clearances are in spec and the carbs have been sync’ed. The exhaust is a 4-into-1 set up that it came to me with and a UNI filter....
My 700 airhead is running well, but noticed that after driving for awhile, it wants to sputter when leaving a stoplight. I have to give it what...
I used some clear silicone caulking for mine as I had some around. Still holding
The #11 o-ring is a 5/16” ID x 7/16” OD ring. Bought mine in a kit of rings you should be able to find at any Auto store. Just may not be called #11.
There’s several on Kijiji. Not too close to the GTA but hopefully worth the drive. Just searched “Seca”
Oil leak under the filter, engine or from the air box drain? Best spot for gaskets and parts can be found on this site, top corner image...
Finally got my bike safetied. It’s officially on the road! And on the way there a strap let go and it fell over in the trailer. Huge ding in the...
It runs (somewhat) so you know you have some air, fuel and spark. Electrics are working for you (Right?) so another plus. I’d confirm all...
Evapo-Rust worked well in my tank. Just used POR-15 tank sealer too and hoping it keeps the rust at bay.
I was thinking the same thing. Going to go through the bulbs and make everything match and see what I can figure out.
Scratch that it only works on one side, sometimes at this point
Replaced the reed switch in my speedometer. Turn signal auto-cancel works again!
The other T’s are vents that go to lines that run down behind transmission. Vent tubes. Same carbs on my 700. Hitachi 33 carbs
Link to rebuilding one http://xjbikes.com/forums/index.php?threads/25058 chacal has kits, new ones or check eBay
You’ll have to check the float levels in your carbs. There is a needle valve leaking, either by being stuck open or out of spec.
Doesn’t take much vacuum to open it. I used some Tubing and just by sucking on it like a straw I could feel the diaphragm open and close. Taking...

Hook the end of the cable (barrel) to the throttle lever in the middle of the carbs, pull up on it and put the cable into the holder above
You’ll see a bunch of posts on here about people having to do their carbs multiple times to get it right. I’ve been that guy too. The more you fix...
Finally got my carbs back together! Was having issues with the throttle shaft seals. Took a lot of searching on here to find that they are not...
Is the throttle adjustment screw under the carbs turned in and keeping the butterflies open? Try backing it off after you fire it up. (Or before)....
My parts arrived last week. Thanks for looking after me!
Received my parts from Len last week and finally got them in. New pilot air/fuel jets and a new bowl drain screw in number 3 (after extracting the...
Is the filter on the Petcock There? My 700 did the same to the PO. He was using a different tank without a filter and the carb fuel lines were...
Gasket maker would work or get some gasket paper from a parts store and cut your own. Less mess, cleaner look and no dry-time
Check this thread https://xjbikes.com/forums/threads/oil-capacity-for-82-750-maxim.11597/
Does it heat up if you run it with enrichment open?
Is the #1 cylinder getting fuel? Check the bowl drain and fuel level.
Replaced my gas cap and removed the old lock cylinder to put in the new cap. Didn’t want an extra key. Everything works like a charm and thanks to...
I had the same thing on one of my coils. When I took it off, it had cracks underneath. Guessing it let moisture into the windings. It ran and had...
Do you have a spark tester to check the lead to the cold plug? Or ground it to the engine and turn it over, make sure it’s sparking. But like...
Nice Baby J!
I bought T5 wedge LEDs from EBay. They fit the stock light bases.
While waiting on some new jets from Chacal, I upgraded the cluster lights to LED’s. Nice and bright now
That’s my set up. Shows the hanger holding the muffler. Second picture shows the hanger that was on the left side (not needed)
I can send you a pic of mine tomorrow, but they mount to the large bolt on the rear foot peg mount. The original 4-2 mounts directly, mine is a...
The YICS tool is needed to block the YICS passages between cylinders for carb syncing. There’s threads on here about making them.
Is the throttle cable not resetting? Holding the butterflies open?
Flip the leads to the other plugs and see what you get. Check the input to the coils (resistance) and check the TCI output
Check throttle cable is returning to idle at carbs. Lube if necessary.
My 700’s looked like that (unsealed) on one side too, sealed bearings on the other
So would you recommend going back to stock jets, or increasing based on the formula for the exhaust/intake? Thinking I should step up to what the...
That’s how it came from PO. I was curious as to why they’d both been upped. Figured I’d get it running and see if it worked in this set up. I’ll...
