OK, so we're reviving an old XJ650 Maxim, and we have one coil that quit altogether. The only replacement we had available today was from an 85 Shadow 700. It seemed to work at first but the spark is at best weak and intermittent. I was only able to get two plug caps, and both new caps were on...

https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/507333153165684/ That looks like a good deal to me. Too small for my personal purposes, but what a nice near complete machine.

Personally an XS400 isn't enough bike for me to bother with, won't even comfortably handle a freeway, useless! I got hearbroken by a guy advertising it as my dream bike, an XS650, but alas on further inspection, I believe it to be a worthless XS400 that I might give $50 for if I was desperate...

Wow, too much to say for the title max... As some in the know would know I and a friend lucked into a wrecking yard score. This is a premature exclusive for this place alone..... What is at offer you say...? A 1981 Yamaha XS850 Triple, that's what... Yeah, you heard me, them damn weire...

Yamaha tanks suck, compared to Honda! I just got an XS850 and have had chanceto deal with a few loose late 70s early 80s gas tanks and the Yamaha tanks are significantly lighter (better for weight of course), and made of much thinner metal. Also much more prone to rusing out (Tho thank god my...

I can't get membership on the Yamaha Triples board so I thought I'd try this here. Still haven't sorted much, but picked a bunch of stuff up at a local junkyard. Will prolly be making a bike, but have two spare engines (one runs we think), lots of spare exhausts, some racks and fairings. If...

Thinking of you guys Thought someone might appreciate this. Thank god the guy didn't chop it all up! Can be brought back to stock.

$40 each OBO. Both from working bike. Ignitor fits only 400 Maxim.

Has anyone ever faked a hard tail by welding and undercarriage in for say an Ironhead 1000? I imagine if I can think of it, someone has tried, hell maybe here many have and are well known to some of you? I like the idea a lot and I have a title'd frame for the project. I'm a dirt farmer and...

Must move, doesn't someone need this? :wtf:

So I do have a complete Maxim battery cover, maybe the rest of the side covers, I will look, but someone mentioned fabricating? Now I want and need to sell stuff, so I will sell at least the battery cover, but how much sweeter would it be if I sold it to one of you with a way to fabricate...

82-83 XS400J-K parts, will be going on eBay soon likely, PM me with requests quick if you are in need, I take Paypal.

:D :bike: :D

Best be buyin' my XS400K before it's gone!

So just for the hell of it, what bikes have you owned? These pics are mostly web pics, but each is of a very similar bike that I've owned. I loved most of them, had trouble with several, sold most as running machines. These are in order, best as I can remember. My first bike was a...

I just had my problem in 1st, 2nd and 3rd or maybe 4th gear. I got home and the chain is loose as all fuck, like a dirt bike! I didn't have the problem at all yesterday and it was way too recently I set the chain tension. No way I can be affording sprockets but I have an account at the local...

OK, assuming I fix my XS400J-K motors to make one tight motor with a good gearbox. Would you pull the top off the '82 engine and install it to the solid '83 bottom end, or, alternatively leave the perfectly good top intact and split the bottom of the '82 engine's case and swap out the tranny...

I don't have carbs or tanks set up for the spare engine, would like not to have to do that. Is a cold test enough?

I am gonna try and compression test my '83 engine today, see if I can stick with my XS400 Maxim, but should it be too big a project I got my eye on one of these with this same color scheme. Lot of miles on it, 60K, but well maintained and while not as clean as the one pictured, not at all bad...

One has lost compression and one has a failing first gear. One is an assembled licensed running bike, the other a basket case. $600 OBO or trade for a running Honda 500cc or bigger takes all. Call Mark, at (360) 531-3349.
