High RPM's?

I am new to the Yamaha sceene. I have a 1982 XJ750 Maxim. It seems to be running ok, a little cold blooded but once she s warmed up it idles fine. My question is when I am on the road and get up to about 60mph the RPMS are at about 5 - 6000. Is that normal because it seems a bit high to me?

 

I have a 750 seca(i think that means diff cams)
My tach hangs at about 5K when I am crusing @ 70mph.

I was under the impression the seca and max shared the same engine, anyway my seca turns about 4000 around 60mph

 

are you running it in 5th gear unaverageman?

 

Thanks for the tip, I was actually updating as I was waiting for a reply. Is yours a turbo? I was thinking it might be a bit high because my brother has a Kawasaki 750 Vulcan that sits at about 4500 RPMs at 60mph and mine is sitting in between 5500 and 6000.

 

I have an '83 750 Maxim and it is about 5000 - 5500 on the highway.

 

I am running it in fifth. I just got the bike this week and have not had a chace to give it a tune up or check the carbs yet. Will have to take a look into why the RPMs are so high. I have only been able to put 12 miles on it but plan on a lot more. It is a fun little snappy bike.

 

A 750 Maxim will run about 60mph at 5K. A 750 Seca will run about 65mph at 5K. The only difference is the rear wheel size. The Maxims have a 16" rear wheel, with a 130 tire. The Secas have an 18" rim, with a 120 tire. The overall wheel diameter (with tire) is roughly 1 1/4" larger on the Seca.

I put the smaller 16" wheel on my Seca just so I could have a wider rear tire. Interesting, though, my gas mileage didn't change much.

 

Looks like most of it was just needing to get some old gas out. I have about 50 miles on it now and ran some sea foam in it and she is purring like a kitten, hitting 60mph at 5k on the rpm gauge. Thanks for all the imput everyone, you guys and this site rocks!
