Will the triple tree fit an 83 Virago 750?

I have the same bike and have saved it from 11 years of neglect. If you are getting rid of any parts like body panels front fender interment cluster let me know.

Sorry I didn't get back sooner but I was swamped getting the house ready for another early winter. I just want to say thanks for the fender. :thumbsup: I now have a winter project and will have it painted and on for next season.:bike: Just put her to sleep today. I was holding out for one...

I asked in September and did not hear back. I assume it was gone. I did get one and it took a year to find. Good luck.

I have and am waiting for "board approval" but thought I would tickle the brains here also.

Ok First thanks to all with the help on my Maxim Now I am helping my buddy with an 1983 XV500 Virago. Ironic because he bought a bike the same year as mine.:thumbsup: I digress, it runs and drives fine with one exception. On hard and I mean hard acceleration the clutch will slip a little...

I scanned the pages. I also agree a carb cleaning is the best thing anyone can do. I idle at about 1100. Also started it this morning after not riding for two days. Let it warm up for about 2 min then moved the chock all the way to the right and rode. Little sluggish throttle at first but by...

Sorry so late have not been on in a while. Also not riding due to rain. Rode it to work today and got your info. The front I put on this year and had to go with a 3.25 19. I chose my tire by the tread to be as close to stock appearance as possible. The rear I will be buying next spring...

Welcome to the 1983 Maxim 400 club.:thumbsup: I also have the same bike. Got it last fall out of a shed it was in for 11 years with 6000 miles on it. Got it going and put 3000 on this summer. :bike: I do have the original owners manual and it just has the basics. If there is anything you need...

I tried to email don't know if you got it. I am interested in the fender.

16VGTIDave Thanks. I have put 3000 on the bike this summer. All roads out by me are posted 55mph but we all do 60-65. Our freeways are posted 65, but again we all do 75. I would love to use my XS400K for 200 to 300 mile trips, but I wasn't positive this small of a bike could handle it. That is...

Would need the lower rpms for my driving needs. Went 600 miles in two days and worried the whole way about turning 6000 for 2 1/2 hours at a time. Don't know what the rpm these bikes are made to do for long periods of time.

Being a Maxim it is a 5 speed. Would changing the front sprocket make it a better hwy cruiser? I live in the country and would like to ride at 60 plus for longer periods.

Never tried. Didn't want to push it too much the first year riding it. Still not comfortable riding for a long distance at 6000 rpm. Afraid of blowing it up.

I have a Maxim and could use a front fender if you are looking to get rid of that.

It almost has 9,000 now. I have been riding the hell out of it. Runs superb

How about a front fender if so what color

Looked somewhat the same just dirty. The guy drained the gas and pushed it in. I rolled it out and went over it. I got lucky. Now I want his 250 Yamaha that matches it.

That would be great please let me know

Do you have the front fender?
