Want this question answered?
I measured my 83 midnight maxim 750 and it stands 31 in. from ground to top of seat
2 to 1
I have a marago 750 lol. I didn't know it but my maxim 82 750 had the shocks, calipers, rear tire and possibly tree of a virago. I discovered it when getting break pads.
on craigs list yesterday sept 6 in medford Oregon there is a complete wireing harness for your bike
yes! I still own a 1982 model year, and it still performs well. This is a bike that was well ahead of the game in its design at the time.
If it's the 750 (and assuming its the same as the '83), it's 81 HP with 67 nm of torque. They're pretty snappy little bikes
1990 Yamaha Virago 750 is 55 hp.
I THINK that you will be able to fit an exhaust from the Yamaha XJ650/750 air-cooled Maxims. They share the same frame, the difference being that the Maxim-X is liquid cooled. Getting the exhausts to clear the radiator shouldn't be a problem as the radiator sits above the exhausts (I have the 750 and it shares the same frame, there are mounts on the frame for the radiator). A good place to find out for definite would be www.xjbikes.com. I'm sure someone will have tried the swap on there.
There should be a sight glass on the left lower side of the motor. The oil should be visable in the glass.
yes.
I just posted this question in "Yamaha Motorcycle Forum" for my '82 Maxim and was told 3.7 quarts (not sure if this is with the filter or not). I heard the capacity is stamped below the filler cap. ..... The oil amount is stamped below the oil cap... in milliliters. On my 750 maxim, this is 2500milliliters, or 2.5 liters. Motorcycle oil generally come in liter bottles (which is close to a quart anyway) so it takes around two and a half liter bottles to fill. This is including the oil filter. You can always check the oil level by putting the bike on it's showstand (not the kickstand) and looking through the oil glass located next to the brake pedal.
