    I have an liquid cooled 85 maxim x 700 that i'm going to be parting out, the bike is complete, turns over but doesn't start unless you spray some carb cleaner, i don't have the title and currently needs carbs rebuilt, it sat for many years. the engine will run, the only thing i can't guarantee is the trans, only because i've never got to ride it and test all gears,let me know what you need, i will try and be very reasonable with prices. pics will come soon, my email is safe@epix.net, plenty of good parts

    update!!! i just ripped the bike down, yes i did make me sad, anything you need let me know. i added some pics post-teardown

    Parts I'd be interested in are:

    The "5 valve" carb side covers (one each side) and the chrome over plastic pieces just behind them moving back along the bike.
    Ignition coils and spark plug wires and boots.
    Front fender...maybe.
    Headlight assembly.
    The 5 model didn't have a backrest, correct?
    The plastic coolant tank.

    Well....I was gonna yell at you for taking a perfectly good bike apart until you posted the pics. That X has seen it's better days!

    I'll take the backrest and spend a day cleaning it up.
    Hopefully the other little chrome bits will clean up nice.

    I'd be interested in seeing a close-up photo of the yamah emblem right under the headlight. (little black plastic part with silver print)

    I know there are a couple members looking for an airbox.
    I could use a spare starter if no-one else needs it.

    Actually, I'd be surprised if the pad was NOT ripped. It looks like it went down HARD on the left side. Speedo, tach, signal light all trashed.
    Is it still in PA?

    I might be interested in the gauges, and their covers and faceplate; the petcock, and the mufflers.

    hey hogfiddles, the guages seem ok but 2 out of 3 of the covers are cracked, and 1 has roadrash, the faceplate is ok. the petcock i still have, and the mufflers are all there could use a cleaning, but don't seem to have any major rust or leaks. shoot me an offer for the parts you want, email me at safe@epix.net.

    mike i email you, let me know

    I'm interested in the handlebars, along with the brake master cylinder and left hand clutch bracket / mirror mount. I'll PM you with my email address, hopefully you can take some pictures.

    About the rust on the handlebars, is it just surface rust or more serious?

    Hey Fuzz,

    I'm still interested in the parts I listed. I can't get to my personal email from work and I didn't get home until late last night and didn't get a chance to check it.

    Will respond tonight.

    Hey Fuzz,

    I'd like to get in line behind Mike for the backrest if it is still available. If Mike passes on it, I'd like it.

    Thanks!

    I might be interested in the mufflers and collector box (not downpipes) if hogfiddles does not want them

    PM sent about the parts I was interested in earlier. I'd also like the 5-valve covers and plastic chrome airbox covers, if Artie(RT) passes on them!
