1981 Yamaha Maxim 650 review from Canada
General comments?
Just bought an 81 Maxim 650 and have been having a blast cruisin' around Canada's capital.
One minor problem continues to plague my otherwise happy experience though. My signal lights work fine when I have the switch held to either left or right, however they won't stay on if I release the button.
I have replaced the switch assembly on the handle bar, but the problem persists. I suspect it's the relay for some reason, and hope someone on this forum has experienced the same problem and can offer some advice.
