To adjust the cam chain on a 1982 Yamaha Maxim 750, first ensure the engine is cool and remove the left side cover. Rotate the engine to align the timing marks on the crankshaft and camshaft, then check the tension of the cam chain. If necessary, use the adjuster screw to increase or decrease tension; turn it clockwise to tighten and counterclockwise to loosen. Finally, reassemble the cover and ensure everything is secure before starting the engine.

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.
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.
my 750 has a 525 122 chain
