1982 Yamaha XJ650 Maxim review from Canada
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
Nothing so far, have just bought bike a month ago.
General comments?
This is my first bike, rides very nice.
When shifting it seems to be clunky. Would this be normal, is this how the shaft drive works, is it something you get use to or could something be wrong???
Any comments, anyone.
Glen.
