service manual and specs XJ700s Maxim

Dear fellow XJ bikers,

My name is Norg from the Neteherlands. I recently bought a XJ700s bike, great to drive and I was looking for a service manual and I also was looking for the specifications.

However I only could could find information of the XJ700x Maxim.

Who could help out??

Many thanks!

 

An XJ700 Maxim is the air-cooled version of the XJ700 bike, the XJ700-X is the water-cooled version. The "S" at the end of the model ID refers to the year of the bike, in this case it means a 1986 model year bike.

XJ700N = 1985 XJ700 Maxim, 49-state version
XJ700NC = 1985 XJ700 Maxim, California models
XJ700XN = 1985 XJ700 Maxim X, 49-state version
XJ700XNC = 1985 XJ700 Maxim X, California models


XJ700S = 1986 XJ700 Maxim, 49-state version
XJ700SC = 1986 XJ700 Maxim, California models
XJ700XS = 1986 XJ700 Maxim X, 49-state version
XJ700XSC = 1986 XJ700 Maxim X, California models


XJ700 Models

NOTE: The North American market was treated to two different versions of the "XJ700" models; the USA only received the smaller 700cc version of these bikes (due to the “Harley Tariff” on bikes 750cc or larger), while the Canadian market received both the XJ700cc and XJ750cc-engine versions. In addition, these bikes were produced in both a standard air-cooled version, and in a high-performance "Maxim-X" series that featured the 5-valves per cylinder "Genesis" engine, and these "X" models also featured a water-cooled engine block system.

Rumor has it that not all of the XJ700 air-cooled models were able to be sold in the USA, and that a good number of them were re-exported (new) to the European market for re-sale sometime in the late 80’s…..

Besides the engine-size and type differences, both the USA or Canadian versions are basically identical in design and features. The XJ750-engine versions of this bike (Canadian-only) are listed further below in the "XJ750 Models" section. ALL of the water-cooled, XJ750-engine versions of this "XJ700" style bike were the water-cooled versions and were "Maxim-X" models.
