    I've noticed in some posts that bike names are followed by letters, ie:maxim xj650h. What are these indicators of and how do I know if mine has a letter I'm so far unaware of?
    P.S. sorry if this is the "newbiest" of questions but ya can't learn if ya don't ask I figure

    The letters G, H, J, K refer to the year. G = 1980, H = 1981, J = 1982, k = 1983. When they are by themselves it refers to the Maxim. The R in front of the year letters refers to the Seca version

    Don't forget about the Midnight options on the Maxims

    W8OVR if yours is an 81 Maxim then it is an XJ650H.
