1981 Yamaha XJ650 Maxim review from United States of America
"Fast and amazing!!!"
What things have gone wrong with the motorcycle?
There is nothing wrong this bike yet. This is one of the most excellent bikes I owned.
General comments?
I have this Maxim 650, and I just moved into a new neighborhood and I do not have a garage I can securely lock. I know I can lock the handlebars, but I would also like to know what else I can do to avoid someone stealing my motorcycle?
I noticed the bike has a power lock on the left side (opposite side of battery) and I was wondering if anyone could tell me what the power lock does to the motorcycle?
