    is it possible to get the front wheel in air when accelerating?

    I've always been impressed when I've seen it done on other bikes. I'm guessing it's not possible on my Maxim.. But, maybe I'm wrong....

    how do I adjust the valves?

    Is there a you tube video or idiots guide? I've never done it before and guess it might be the reason I get some engine stutter above 8,000 RPM. Everything else on the bike is pretty solid and I've been procrastinating for too long. I don't spend too much time at those high RPMs, but sometimes...

    One step forward, two back....GRRRRR

    I really shouldn't be allowed to play with tools. When the two guages on my Maxim seemed loose, I thought I could just tighten the 2 nuts and screws that holds them on. I didn't realize the screws were only partially threaded. That's why they wouldn't tighten quite enough. So clever me just...

    Which wires are pos & neg ?

    Just got a nifty little device that should give the LEDS in my brake light a strobe effect. Was only $5 from China; so we'll see. Wiring it in should be pretty simple, but it appears I am simpler. I see yellow, blue and black wires going to the brake light. I'll assume black is negative but...

    Anyone add a kickstand extender?

    My kickstand is kind if shy... Someone suggested I get an extender for it. If it was easier to find I might use it once in a while, LOL

    Kendra Challengers rub fender

    Just replaced my very old tires with Kendras. I bought the standard size for a xs400j, use just 26 psi, but the front tire rubs the fender. I think if I trim internal fender bracket by the screws, it will fit. Given the popularity of Kendras, if anyone else had this problem; or if there is a...

    fork seal test?

    My front forks are not perfectly clean, but seem to work ok. I bought new seals and am having second thoughts about starting the job. Before I do any permanent damage...maybe I should leave well enough alone. Is there a test or measurement that can determine if I really need to replace these...

    thoughts on fixing this leak?

    I'd like to work on this leak before the snow melts. In the picture attached, it is leaking mostly from the quarter sized hole under my 82 Maxim. Not sure where to start. Has anyone had this same leak and repaired it? Thanks

    Installing Gaiters / fork boots - where to start?

    Has anyone done this on a Maxim? It looks like a bigger job than I thought - but they arrived in the mail... Guess I start by jacking up the bike. Appreciate any tips from anyone who has already done this... Thanks

    tire size confusion

    Think it may be time to upgrade my tires. They don't look dried and cracked, but the DOT # says "468" which I presume they were manufactured in 98 or 88. the back tire is 130/90-16. no problem. the front tire - per manual says " "300S19-4PR" I assume that translates into a 100/90-19...

    HID stopped working....

    When I turn the on / off switch on, the bulb flashes once then nothing. I tried a different bulb and same result. I have not yet checked all the connections yet, so that's still a possibility. Just wondering if anyone knows if that brief flash is indicative of any particular problem... I do...

    bike stutters a bit at 8-9000RPM

    I'm still kinda of a newbie and haven't really pushed the bike too hard yet. Learned that going fast is fun... As I gain some more confidence, even considering taking it on a limited access highway.... However,just noticed the motor stutters at 8-9000 RPM. Don't know if this is related to new...

    slip on muffler not tight seal

    Just got some universal slip on mufflers. It came with the pictured adapter. If I don't use the adapter, I can't seem to tighten the clamp enough to secure muffler on the header. If I use one of the 3 concentric adapters it is very snug but still leaks at the adapter rings S joint. Do I use some...

    Leaky gas cap fix?

    Noticed today after filling up, that when I park on a less than level street, gas streams out of the tank's cap onto a hot engine. I would very much like to avoid that going forward. Probably I need to replace the gasket material... Any ideas which of the rubber seals at Mikes XS will fit my 82...

    Think this MAC will fit my Maxim?

    Really like the Mac 2 into 1 #804-0203. Black header w/ chrome muffler. Supposed to fit just about everything XS400 except my 1982 XS400J. Do you think this is just an oversight or is the Maxim really that different. I'll contact the manufacturer in the AM, but has anyone done a 2 into 1 on a...
