An awesome motorcycle. It is a cruiser/sport styled motorcycle manufactured around the 80's. Yamaha is the Manufacturer. Maxim is the Model. 550 refers to the engine size of 550cc. As a starter bike it is superb as it has enough pickup to get you on and off the highway but not enough power to really get you into trouble. Unlike the larger Maxims and their Seca counterparts the 550 is chain driven like a bicycle rather than shaft driven like a car.
What is the tire pressure for 1982 Yamaha xj550 Maxim
The seat height of a 1981 Yamaha Maxim 550 is 29.3 inches. That height not really adjustable, but frame modifications would probably lower it.
on my 1982 maxim 550, the oil fill cap is the little cap right above your rear brake. The oil filter looks liek its in the front bottom area, just un bolt that to drain, and unscrew the cap by the brake to fill.

Originally the maxim was a cruiser and the xj a tourer. Later the xj 650 maxim was a bit of both. There are many through-the-ages examples on google images.
1982 and 1983
A Honda shadow sissy bar usually will not fit a Yamaha maxim 650. You will need to purchase the exact sissy bar fit from a Yamaha manufacture.
my 1981 650 maxim has a 2.9 galon cap.
