    Will this battery fit my '82 Maxim?

    First time buying a motorcycle battery and blown away by the multitude of choices. I like the idea of a gel battery, will this fit my Maxim? http://www.amazon.com/TMS-Motorcycle-Maintance-Fourtrax-Kawasaki/dp/B0051VMIC6/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1380830572&sr=8-3&keywords=YTX9-BS+AGM I...

    Swingarm Bolts that will fit an '82 Maxim

    Will any other XS400 or XS650 swingarm bolts fit the '82/83 Maxim/Seca? I'd love to use one with the zert fitting on the side. Anyways, it looks like mine is stuck and will need to be drilled out/cut off so I'm just seeing what's out there that will work...

    Has anyone ever gotten their airbox to carb boots back on?

    :banghead: :banghead: :banghead: The PO didn't have the air box to carb boots connected when I bought the bike (1982 Maxim, btw) and even with it bolted in place it's like the boots are 1/4-1/2" too short to run flush with the carburetors(nowhere near close enough for the hose clamps to...

    Wanted - Broken side covers

    I need to fix my side cover that is missing the plastic pin(broke clean off) that pushes into the rubber gas tank grommet. Bike is a 1982 Maxim. I really just need the pin if someone has one that broke off their side cover or I'll buy a broken side cover if someone has one with the pin still...

    Wanted - Air box side Band/Hose clamps for '82 Maxim

    Looking for band/hose clamps for the air box side of the carbs on my '82 Maxim. Can be used and in rough shape as long as they work. PS-If anyone knows of a site to buy these from that'll work too.

    For those running a stock air box....

    Could someone running a stock airbox let me know if I have all the internals to use my air box (from an '82 Maxim)? If I do have everything, can someone explain how it goes back together? This is what was in the box when I bought the bike:

    Petcock options? ('82 Maxim)

    Hi, just wondering if anyone knows of an aftermarket petcock that may be cheaper than the $25+ rebuild kit. Mine is dripping from both holes depending on which one I plug and I think I'd rather just have an on/off/manual petcock and plug the vacuum off. Any problems with runability if I...

    Wanted - Factory main jets for 1982 Maxim

    Looking for 127.5 and 117.5 main jets, mine are illegible so I have no idea if they're on the right side. I don't care if they're dirty as long I can read the size on them. Would'nt mind a pair of 140s or 145s also in case I go to pods in the future. Thanks!

    Wanted - Float needles and (possibly) seats for '82 Maxim

    I have a stuck float needle(and the top is mangled) and the other one's spring is losing it. Looking for a set of float needles in as good of shape as I can find and seats if the rubber is in good shape(or just the o-ring or whatever seals it). Needles are the all brass type with no clip...

    Wanted - '82 Maxim Air Box Bolts/screws

    It seems the PO tossed all the bolts and screws to the airbox. Anybody happen to have these? Also wondering how many internal parts there are to the airbox? I have the metal cage and foam filter, a thin brass-looking piece of metal with a bolt welded to the end of it(looks like it goes on...

    Gas gushing out the back of carbs, float seating issue?

    Thanks, in large part, to help on these boards I have my 1982 Maxim up and running on both cylinders(and it sounds nice and healthy for not being registered since 2000). Problem is it's way too rich and I have gas dripping out the backside of the carbs. I assume it's a float seating issue. The...

    Wanted - BS34 Throttle (butterfly) screw(s) and pilot jets

    All I need is 1 throttle plate screw and both pilot jets (someone rounded the heads on mine) to finish my carb rebuild. I would just order from Mike's, but shipping is a killer for these small parts. Pilot jets can be super dirty for all I care, as long as the screw slot is in nice shape...

    How to remove Ignition Coils ('82 Maxim)?

    I finally found where the ig coils were, but am I suppose to lower the engine to remove them all the way? I have it unplugged and unbolted from the frame so far, but there just doesn't seem to be enough room to pull it all the way out. Having trouble with no spark on left cylinder. I tried...

    Aftermarket front brake?

    Hi, I'm new to the forum and a new owner of an XS400. I picked the bike up as a winter project and my biggest problem so far is finding parts to refurbish the entire front brake system. Someone before me must have tossed half of the front caliper and I cant get the master cylinder to pump...
