1982 Yamaha XJ650 Maxim review from United States of America
"I would buy another one today if possible"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
I encountered no mechanical problems with the bike in the entire time I owned it.
At 30,000 miles, I replaced the clutch because I was riding it cross country from Missouri to Idaho.
At 50,000 miles I had the seat recovered.
General comments?
I added soft luggage and the Yamaha Maxim fairing at 20,000 miles.
