About a month ago my bike started running weird. It has no power to it at all. its like its like your trying to take off in 5th when your in...
So i've looked into it but I am still wondering really what is the difference between the maxims and secas?
If you do decide to get rid of the seat i'd be happy to take it off your hands
I bolted it on. Used the holes from the old bag mounts(think thats what they where for) for a guide. Also used pipe clam around the cross tube...
Love that fat front tire! not a bad starting point for a project. Hows she run?
Just an update. Got a lot of un-needed wiring cut out yesturday and everything working. Got the new front signal casings painted flat black. Now...
just had the same thing happen. i was suching air from the boot between the carbs and head
Nice bike. How do you like just having the struts?
Now just for the record im not wanting to put some huge a$$ apes on it. 12" is what im thinking, which is just little taller then what I have now....
Thanks for the link! I think yours are a little to tall for my taste but still looks good!
yes rode my buddies fatboy with 18 inch apes, that was to0 tall but i liked it. As far as defeating the point about having an xj, the one thing i...
So i've been tossing the idea around of putting some 12" apes on my bike. I think it would be just were I want but i have only a dream of what it...
ok thanks rick. Im just puzzled cause it went from running great to crud over night.

Alright thanks guys. ill pick up some caps from the shop.
My bike is a 82 yamaha maxim 750. i have a gasket between the engine and the boot that the carbs rest in go bad. so im replacing it. But it got me...
It was my first bike. When I got it i had to work on it for two months to get it road ready. While everyone I ride with have pretty harleys that...
Just took the back cover off. Used a thin bladed saw to cut it then got a old light boot to slip it into. Works great.
So got some done this weekend. Got the ducking for the intake done. But now I have a vacum leak after one of the carbs so I have to fix that soon....
Sounds coming from the top of the motor. Ive listened and it sounds like its coming from the cam area. Something to worry about?
Just wondering if its a regular thing with the xj's or a problem. when IM at idle my cams just make an annoying squek. Don't notice it really when...
Have no tach so don't know but I like to do the same. Hear the rpm's all the way throw the low to high. But I love my idle. with the new pipes i...
Yeah I like the look a lot. Trying to simplify the front end. not to sure if I like the new headlight mount. May try to sink it into the trees
Not really cool. Just got a old light boot. Cut my old cluster and slipped it in. Works good though.[img]
front turn signals im going to put on next to head light.[img] chopped the cluster, not mounted fully yet.[img][/URL[img] the mess right...
Nice man. I thought about the chopper but after seeing some around town just not for me. what all you wanting to do to it?
If your going to change your pipes do it right. like CMc said get some screaming eagles or have a shop make some.
So my pops and I dug into my mess of wiring. Bike wouln't start for most of the day. One of the fuseable links the came loose and almost shorted...
so I have power at the coil, but nothing is unloading it or telling it to unload.
thanks guys. Yeah i have the room to play with. I thought about getting some sportster springs, but i have really no money for this build so...
I have the inclosed shocks on my 82 maxim. I havent taken them apart yet. I was wondering before I did if anyone knows if they are a spring...

thanks man, started it up and put a board on the frame and road down the street loving it!
Don't know if anyone is actually looking at this but got the fender mounted today, seats getting finished, redoing the speedo tonight. this is...
Found out using a razor is slow but effective. got it how i want
I was surprised with my pipes their not straigh but nothing really to them. I kept my cat on which helped. Right next to them at high rpm is...

I know mine slows cause of the bolt. I've had no problems with it and there are bigger problems lol if its not giving you any problems then its...
So on my 82 maxim it has the two piece bars. I was wondering if any one has tried flipping them at all? or is there anything else you can do to...

Ok so on my 82 750 i re did my brakes. When I went to bleed them they would not build pressure like you said. What I had to do was fill the brake...
