jevco did me good coverage is different up here, we're covered for more.
I wouldn't class the maxim as a cruiser, controls aren't forward enough.

i tested my bike with my gps, bike reads 5km over actual. not in a hurry to fix it, it cuts down on speeding tickets
Well I'm told those mac 4 into 1's are the things to get, improve performance and for the price it looks like a decent deal.
hrrm, my main concern is that the exhaust would end up interfering with my saddle bags and possibly that the exhaust would make using this stand...
Thanks! Perfect, it basically doesn't change much other than dropping the second pipe

Taking the wheels in for some new rubber, last night I had an adventure with removing the wheels but nothing and no one was hurt.
ok, well for a 1000 dollar bike I guess I didn't do too bad... :) for compression I get 160 on all the cylinders. I don't have a...
I suppose I should ask, what is a decent mileage that the 83 750xj is capable of?
Both chacal and forks by frank may have your fork tubes for you.
I used to use premium in my bike because that's what the PO said to use when I bought it. I did a seafoam treatment on it (ran it to reserve,...
I get just over 40mpg on my 83 maxim 750. I'd like to improve this, i know easing on the throttle would help a bit. Most of my driving is rural...
So effectively this would not be how I would raise the seat. I'm guessing the only easy way would be getting longer shocks for the rear? I...
When I was poking around my bike tonight I noticed little stepping on the rear shocks with a little nub or nut sticking out. if I wanted to raise...
gah i didn't look at this thread in time... i will have to watch ebay more often.

I'm partial to silver.
My starter bike is a 750 maxim... when i was hemming and hawing if it was too big or not my sister (who rides a ninja 500) said "It's a cruiser,...
Well that is preferred but some times one has to do what one has to do when one has to do it. Fortunately I haven't had to do it.
Trenton here.
I think mine is either missing and bypassed or rusted shut (closed). my bike starts and runs with the kick stand down with the bike in gear....
mine does that too, i didn't know it was by design. i did leave mine on once all day, (9 hour period) but i must have a decent battery, it was...
Here's a pic of the left one, I think it's quite pitted but I'm new to this.

so engine oil is also lubing clutch?
mine does the same at the same rpm, using 91-94 octane depending on what's available.
I don't know what kind of oil it's using, just got the bike a week ago. It's my first bike so I'm in the process of learning a lot. If i let...
