1985 Yamaha XJ700 Maxim

Wow. Haven’t kept up on this site much lately. The bike business has been slowing down lately due to an alternate full time job and graduate school, but I still do what I can.
Toured to the east coast on this XJ700 then sold it shortly after. Great little bike. I had it running like brand new.

Thank you, very much. I’m not sure it will help replacing a crankshaft oil seal.

Hi, I just bought an 85 maxim xj 700, I don’t have a manual for it. It runs great but it does have some cosmetic damage.. I.e. missing the tach, the speedo cover and other minor things. I’m in the military and stationed in ft campbell, ky. Any idea where I can get parts for this bike? Every place I go here, they say they can’t help me….thanks in advance!

Stumbled across this site and will say thanks. I do have a few questions to put out. the one I have is the liquid cooled version and I need to find info/schematics and part #’s any help for anyone would be greatly appreciated.
I am also looking for a good ignition switch and gas tank cap.
Thanks in advance Joel
