Yamaha Maxim 400 Motorcycle - Street (1982-1983)

The Yamaha Maxim 400, specifically the XS400 Maxim series, is a touring and cruiser motorcycle produced in 1982 and 1983. It was characterized by its 399 cc air-cooled DOHC parallel twin engine, delivering approximately 45.5 horsepower. Designed for comfort and versatility, it shared the market with the Yamaha XJ400 Seca, a 400 cc model featuring a distinct four-cylinder engine. For the 1982 and 1983 model years, the Maxim 400 did not undergo major engine or platform changes. The XS400J (1982) and XS400K (1983) designations primarily indicate the production year. Both years retained the DOHC parallel twin engine and monoshock rear suspension. It is important to note that the transition to this more powerful DOHC engine (approximately 45.5 hp) occurred just before 1982, replacing earlier SOHC engines (around 27 hp). An XS400L variant was also mentioned, sharing similar specifications. Q : How can I ensure this part fits my 1982-1983 Yamaha Maxim 400?
