To fix the speedometer on a 1985 Yamaha Maxim 750, first check the speedometer cable for damage or disconnection; replace it if necessary. Ensure that the cable is properly lubricated and securely connected to both the speedometer and the front wheel's drive gear. If the speedometer still doesn't work, the issue might be inside the speedometer unit itself, which may require disassembly and cleaning or replacement of internal components. If you're not comfortable with these repairs, consider consulting a professional mechanic.

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.
The spark plug gap for a Yamaha Maxim 750 is typically set at 0.8 to 0.9 mm (0.031 to 0.035 inches). It's important to check the specific service manual for your model year, as the gap can vary slightly depending on the engine configuration. Proper gap settings ensure optimal performance and efficiency of the engine. Always adjust the gap carefully using a spark plug gap tool for best results.
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.
