1982 Yamaha Maxim 750 review from United States of America

What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?

Actually nothing wrong with the bike yet. Just purchased (for a case of beer) a 1982 Yamaha 750 Maxim.

Removed the tank, put fuel into the carbs, new battery and she starts right up. Will change oil, filters, and brake pads this weekend.

Any ideas on other items to replace before I hits the road?

Ran smooth and easy, has 7,500 original miles and was garaged from 82 till 06, when it was moved to the driveway. New seat will be required.

General comments?

I am having trouble finding info on the 750. Seems a lot of talk about the 650 Maxim, but little on the 750 Maxim? Any reasons??
