    I am trying to determine which model I have, does anyone know what the different designations mean?

    H, J, K, RH, RJ, RK, L, LC, N, NC

    Thanks

    H, J, K = 81, 82, 83 Maxim

    RH, RJ, RK = 81, 82, 83 Seca

    So, judging from your sig, you have an XJ550J.

    I have no idea what those other letters mean, maybe somebody else can help you out with them.

    I can help with a few of them, I think. H J K are the year designation 1981 1982 and 1983. I think the R are the SECA models. I have no idea on the rest.

    Seedyrom and I posted essentially the same info 3 minutes apart. It's like we were sharing a brain or something. :wink:

    The L designator represents an '84 model year. The only name I saw associated with it on a search was "Diversion", but there may be a "Maxim" as well.

    RL is an '84 Seca.
    N is an '85 Maxim
    XN is an '85 MaximX
    S is an '86 Maxim
    XS is an '86 MaximX

    The C designator represents anything made for the California market, with their extra emissions equipment. It may be associated with several years and models.

    One last thing. If anyone uses a suffix to their model (for example "-V") it represents the color of their bike out of the factory. (In this case -Violet.) It's normally not stated in day-to-day model descriptors, but once in a while it will pop up and cause a lot of curiosity.
